Spring Obsession: Minted

I'm no fashionista, but I think it's safe to say the official trend of the moment is anything Mint.

The color is all over the place. It's making it's mark on everything from denim, to dresses, to accessories, and even kitchens.

Wigs & Whereabouts

Well Hello friends. It's been a busy week and I feel like I've been all over the place.

We left off last week during one of our best friends Big 30th birthdays. 30, really??!

We kicked off the weekend and "wigged out". There is something crrrrrazy fun about putting on a wig and getting wild. It was a birthday for the books.

Next up I traveled home for 2 of my best friends baby showers. {Pics to come soon - on the camera}

Then to Birmingham for a quick work trip.

And now signing off for the weekend for M & K's nups!!!! wahoooooo!!! It is going to be the perfect weekend in Charleston celebrating some of our best friends.

This pic screams Spring. Not gonna lie, it's a little tough waking up to dark bed but I'm loving the extra hour of sunlight at night.

Tales of a Pup

Lately around our house with a dog has been entertaining to say the least.


Nightly wrestle sessions...

TV watching...

Playing -in the mud-...

What?

And lastly a trip to the vet for spaying....

Not a fan of the cone.

It's going to be a long 2 weeks.

Happy Birthday Ans!!!!!

It's a BIG one. Can't wait to wig out with you Fri!!

Three Ingredient Tacos

Hi friends -

If you are on pinterest, you've probably seen this recipe pinned a zillion times.

Like others, I pin fancy recipes and pretty images knowing I will never taste or touch any of the pins.

This says it best:

But I am here to tell you this recipe is different.

It's Easy. Delicious. Simple. Cheap. Dinner party worth serving.

We made this last night and I think we will make it again - maybe tomorrow.

3 Ingredients:

-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-1 jar of salsa
-1 packet of low-sodium taco seasoning

Put the chicken in the crock pot, pour the salsa & seasoning on top, mix well and

Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

After cook time, take a fork to the mixture and the chicken shreds instantly.

Result: Flavorful shredded chicken that makes killer tacos.

That's it.

Thank you Chocalate Therapy. Recipe here

Friday Fly

Hey there, it's the weekend again.

Wine Shoe was great. Really, you should go for a wine class if you like that sort of thing.

It was very entertaining & we did actually learn something. 5 S's of wine...do you know them???

sight, swirl, smell, sip, & savor.

Do you feel so much more like a connoisseur now?! Also, all of the wines were non-commercialized {no chemical, no preservatives} and under $20. Can't beat that.

And just FYI, you don't need to take the ridiculously expensive round trip cab down there. You don't really catch a buzz. Wine 101 - you sip not drink.
