Long time no read/talk/catch up! :( Things have been a little crazy in my world and I miss catching up with everyone's blogs!! I have taken a little break due to working 60 hour weeks, going to NYC for a week, Easter holiday etc etc... but boy do I have LOTS to share!   I don't even know where to start ... maybe I should have put this is outline form lol. First and most important ... my KY Wildcats are the National Champions in case you've been under a rock for the last couple of weeks ha! Couldn't be happier!!! I knew we would have a great year :) And even more exciting, is that my bracket ended up being amazing... I don't know anyone who had more wins than me :) Just sayin' ha. Here are some of my favorite pics from the CATS craziness... My favorite CATS day shirt! How cute are those? Of course I got a white one too... no brainer! LOL that's just plain funny. I got Ella & Ava a KC&Go Cats shirt too ;)  We wore them in NYC on the National Cha...

My hair has a lot of natural curl but I prefer to wear it straight. Last week, my hair dryer from Target died on me.  After years of owning drugstores hair dryers that last less than a year, I decided it was time to upgrade. I had a coupon for Sally Beauty Supply for 15% off your entire purchase so that is where I headed first. I ran across these "bird" hair dryers by Conair...there was  gold bird (the cheapest), then yellow bird (next in line in terms of price), then silver bird (the most expensive). Silver bird  was on sale and with my coupon it would come close to the price of yellow bird so I went for it. This may sound completely ridiculous and I am sure most of you will laugh when you read this...but this hair dryer is life changing. It is really awesome!  Most days, I left the house with frizzy hair that I couldn't get smooth with products. And now it is so smooth and soft. The dryer comes with a straightening attachment that works really well af...

I had such a fun Easter weekend that included meeting up with friends from college at the playground, old co-workers from Circuit City for lunch at Can Can as well as two Easter egg hunts and celebrations with family. Oh and I can't forget today is day 5 of potty training Clyde. And I don't really think he has it mastered yet....this morning may have been the first time he actually screamed at me "I NEED TO GO POTTY." So maybe he is getting it! Cross your fingers. It is spring break here and I was lucky enough to get a spot for Clyde & Clyde in FREE swimming lessons with the Morgan Swim School . They are training their instructors and I happened to be one of the first to respond to email announcing the promotion. So I am excited about that... yesterday was day one and it went better than expected especially with Clyde. I woke up yesterday with a cold so I didn't get to the grocery store and I am half way through my menu planner so I am skipping that portion o...

My friend, Melissa and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Brooke over the weekend. I made this dip from my Southern Living Cookbook that turned out delicious. I left out the pine nut (honestly because I burned them trying to toast) but I don't think they were missed. I also made peach melba mimosas that turned out well. And one of our guests made this awesome cake...the entire thing was edible except the pearls. It was delicious and impressive! And our guest of honor....

Where do the weekends go...we had a fun one that involved a cookout with friends, a baby shower for my friend, Brooke, a trip to watch Michael play soccer, playground and what weekend would not be complete without cleaning, laundry and yard work! Here is this week's menu planner.... Monday - Pork with Mango Salsa (carryover from last week) Tuesday - OMG chicken , Green Beans Wednesday - French Dip Sandwiches , Baked Beans, French Fries Thursday - Turkey Salisbury Steaks with White Bean Mash Friday - Homemade Pizza We made these cute masks last week from the dollar bins at Target. We are ready for Easter around here.

Happy Sunday everyone! I made the Southwestern Turkey Meatloaf and it was yummy. See below for the recipe. I served it with salsa which was a great addition. We all love Pinterest.com. You can follow me here .  Last week, I ran across this recipe for cleaning your shower and I actually made it. Something I pinned and actually made. Woohoo! I think if you had a newer shower than I do it would work wonders. It was fabulous on the chrome fixtures.
