In full transparency, I wanted to make quesadilla uncrustables, but bought the wrong kind of tortilla. If you want to make those definitely get flour tortillas not corn. 

These are easy to make though, just use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut your tortillas, then fill and grill on the stove!

Here's a hack to make your boots stand up tall in Here's a hack to make your boots stand up tall in your closet! Use a magazine! Roll it up and stick it inside for your boots to stand tall! 

After organizing all weekend, I didn't want to purchase ANYTHING else to organize. I wanted something cheap that I already had lying around.

I like the pool noodle hack but did not have time to go acquire a pool noodle in January.

Try the magazine hack and let me know how you like it? What's your favorite organizational hack?

Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2021

Mother’s Day is coming! This is my first Mother’s Day on the other side. I love my baby boy so much and am so thankful to be his mama. Today, I’m sharing my Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2021. There are lots of ideas here for lots of different types of mamas. Let’s dive into it!

Check out my mother’s day tea party from last year if you still need an idea to treat your mom!

mother's day gift guide 2021

Kendra Scott Birthstone Necklace – Kendra Scott pieces are so pretty. Getting the mom in your life a necklace with her baby’s birthstone is such a sentimental gift. Plus the necklace is really pretty.

Kendra Scott Birthstone Bracelet – Update on this! They added new colors and birthstones!

Coffee Mugs – I typically don’t drink coffee. HOWEVER, I have a newborn and coffee sounds divine lately. Diet Coke isn’t cutting the mustard anymore. I have a two-tiered stand in my kitchen and these sleek mugs are so pretty in my kitchen. They give a cohesive and chic look.

Apple Airpods – Stephen gave me Apple Airpods for Christmas and I don’t know how I lived this long without them. This is a great gift especially for moms who work from home.

Initial Necklace – I got an initial necklace for myself after Ben was born. I bought this cheaper version and have worn it more than I anticipated. I will probably upgrade to the higher quality version now that I know how much I wear it. The cheaper version is great quality though and only $12!

Mama Sweatshirt – I think the Mama sweatshirts are so cute! This pink one will arrive before Mother’s Day!

Makeup Case – This makeup case is the best and great for traveling. This holds your brushes and your makeup in different compartments. It’s great for organization.

Hoop Earrings – Hoop earrings are a great gift and always a classic. These are so pretty and very affordable.

Barefoot Dreams Blanket – This blanket shows up on every gift guide ever, but these blankets really are that good. This is always a great gift.

Charcuterie Board – Does the mom in your life love hosting? This board is great because it comes with four bowls and has a hidden compartment with four knives.

Revlon One Step – Moms have no time. Now that I have been a mom for a month (LOL) it blows my mind how long it takes to leave the house. This volumizer and dryer combines two very time-consuming steps into one. This is a great gift for busy moms.

Mama Necklace – The gold “Carrie” necklace trend is making a come back. As an alternative to your name, this mama necklace is so, so cute!

Mama “Friends” Font Hat – I have this hat in grey. If the mom in your life is a “Friends” fan, she needs this hat!

Cookie Box Delivery – For the long-distance mom, a cookie delivery will hit the spot! This includes 30 cookies and 5 different flavors.

Those are my items for my Mother’s Day Gift Guide 2021! What are you buying your mom for Mother’s Day? Or if you are a mama, what prize are you buying to treat yourself??

Today we're making jalapeno cheese dip in a bread Today we're making jalapeno cheese dip in a bread bowl. This is a great party snack and would be awesome at an upcoming super bowl party. 

-First, cut the top off a round loaf of bread and remove the middle. 
-Cut all of the pieces removed into cubes and set aside. 
-Then take a jalapeno queso block and cut it into cubes. Place in a pan. 
-Then add two cans of drained green chiles and a splash of milk. 
-Heat over medium high heat on the stove stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Trust me nobody wants that cleanup. 
-Then immediately pour into your bread bowl and serve hot with the cubed bread pieces. Enjoy!

Easy, and tasty! Are you having or going to a Super Bowl party this year? What's on the menu?
