Snaps from staycation! We spent the weekend in Atl Snaps from staycation! We spent the weekend in Atlanta for Benjamin's birthday! 

We started at @childrensmuseumatlanta and then headed over to @skyviewatl! Then we had dinner at @johnnyrockets and spent the night. Then, we woke up early and headed over to the @georgiaaquarium for the day.

It was SO much fun. I highly recommend doing a staycation in your own city. I've lived here 30 years and always find something fun to do. 

Happy birthday to my big 2-year-old! 💙

This is the easiest idea for a fun summer party! 🦀 I took these crabby chicken croissants to our margaritaville themed party last week. I also made them for a mermaid-themed party a few years ago!

To make these:
-slice mini croissants down the middle but leave the back connected.
-fill with chicken salad.
-attach a toothpick to the back of edible eyeballs with cookie icing and allow it to dry.
-insert the toothpicks into the croissants to create eyes!

Save this for later when you need a dish or appetizer to bring to summer parties!

Today we're making frito corn salad! This might be Today we're making frito corn salad! This might be the most southern dish I've ever made. However, it is a perfect side to take to a barbecue or to make for a summer party. 

It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

It's my birthday! We're making glitter drinks! ✨ It's my birthday! We're making glitter drinks! ✨

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

Today we're making golf tee cupcakes for the Maste Today we're making golf tee cupcakes for the Masters! ⛳️

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

2018 Gift Guide: Last Minute Ideas


Ok people! It’s crunch time and time for a last minute gift guide. There are only a few days left til Christmas, but I’ve got you covered, because this list is made up of items you can PRIME!! Yay! Here comes Amazon. Here comes Amazon. Right down my drivewayyyy.

That means if you have Amazon Prime, all of these gifts will get here before Christmas. Amazon is so nice and kind and gives you a little green line in the description that will tell you if your purchase will get here before Christmas. So I used that and pulled some of my favorite items for the season!

Now some of these things have already been featured in other gift guides, but I wanted to let you know that they can get here super quickly. Some are new items we haven’t talked about yet. Either way, let’s dive in!

last minute gift guide

Clarisonic Mia 4-Piece Set – I’ve ranted and raved about my Clarisonic Mia before, but I love that they put together this holiday set for Christmas!
Dog DNA Test – I’m dying to DNA test my sweet Molly girl. I want to know what she is so badly. I’m thinking Christmas may be the perfect time.
Echo 2nd Generation – We have not 1 but 2 Amazon Echos in our house. We have one in the kitchen and one in our home gym in case Stephen gets stuck under the bar. I can’t recommend an Echo enough.
Coravin System – I’ve now mentioned this three times. I think it is SO cool and it is definitely at the top of my list.
Studded Leather Pumps – Are these not the best Valentino dupes? Instead of paying a mortgage for them, these are only $113.99! Read the reviews..people LOVE them.
Hydro Flask – My New Year’s Resolution is to drink more water and this Hydro Flask is how I’m going to do it. It keeps your water freezing cold.
Double Pom Beanie – Ok this is just adorable.
Kate Spade Stud Earrings – I’ve mentioned these before too. I think they would be the cutest stocking stuffer.
Gold Mirror Tray – Is this tray not gorgeous! I love the detail.
Smoke-less Indoor Grill – This would be perfect for someone who lives in an apartment or somewhere that doesn’t allow grills. This is a smoke-less indoor grill!
Kate Spade Triple Wallet Sticker – Perfect for the person trying to minimize the clutter in their purse. This cute scallop sticker goes on the back of your phone and holds your cards.
UGG Cable Knit Socks – Omg these are so cozy.
Faux Fur Blanket – A blanket is the perfect gift for everyone! This faux fur blanket is perfect for cuddling up during the winter months.
Alex and Ani Crystal Dog Bangle – For the person who just love love loves their dog. This sweet crystal dog bangle is perfect! It’s a new piece for winter 2018.
