Wish List: Jewelry

Let’s be honest. If I had a money tree, I’d probably spend a lot of it on jewelry. I’m definitely that girl. The one that has a whole armoire full of jewelry. But the one that doesn’t wear it all nearly enough. Yep. I have a ton of great pieces, but I don’t have the guts to pull them off. So first I’d probably hire some fancy stylist to help me figure out how to pair jewelry with clothes. And then, well, then I’d need another armoire to hold all the new pieces I’m sure I’d pick out.

Friday’s Letters

Dear Self, remember that statement. Things aren’t always what they seem & it’s the best (& sometimes the hardest) option to choose the half full outlook. Dear Husband, you decided to skip the gym this morning & you were super close to convincing me to crawl back in bed at 6 am too. But I didn’t. And for your laziness, I licked every single Oreo that I packed you for lunch. Enjoy. Dear June, welcome! You’re my birthday month & I’m a wee bit nervous about turning 25. I definitely had a house & a baby on the to-do list before this monumental birthday & those are pretty far off in the future. So it could get a little emotional round these parts. Dear Rushelle, I’m dying at the email you sent me! That design is totally more than I could have imagined. Best blog turned real friend ever. Dear Rain, go away. I want the sunny, sticky, sweaty, hot days back please. Dear Buffalo, Tree & I are coming for you today. With 2 small children. Be warned. Or maybe it’s us that should be warned. We’ll be the ragged, rain drenched women lugging 2 kids around. Look out.

 

Dear GLOW girls, I can’t even tell you how pumped I am to spend my summer with you! We are going to own this town with all the light we’ll be spreading. And the sleepover…it’s going to be epic. Dear Husband, I feel like I want to force you to chug all of the sparkling water that’s in your trunk. For no other reason than to giggle uncontrollably. Dear July 16th, come kind of fast so I can meet little miss Kahlan. And have a glass of wine with your mommy!

Have a great weekend friends!

It's Spring Fling Time Friends

Today’s the day! The Spring Fling party is here!




You know what this means, right?

You can bust out your flip-flops & tank tops! No, too soon still? For me it is since spring in NY means temps still in the 40’s. So I’ll just live vicariously through all of you that link up your spring ideas!!

When I think of Spring, I think of fruits & veggies & chocolate. Yes, chocolate. Mainly Oreo Balls. They are yummy & delicious & super easy! (fyi Tree-I think we need to make a batch soon)

You can dip them in white chocolate…

Or milk chocolate…


Seriously, it’s like a party in your mouth! And the possibilities are endless! My friend just made cookie-dough balls. You could make twix balls or snickers balls or peppermint patty balls.

Ready for the easy recipe?

Crush 1 package of Oreo’s. Mix with 1 package of cream cheese. Stick in the freezer for awhile.  Roll into little balls. Dip into your chocolate pick. Sprinkle with whatever you want!!
