Chocolate Ice Cream Cake

We celebrated my Parents Birthdays this last weekend! Happy Birthday Mom and Dad... They both turned "70!" Evan snapped this adorable selfie of all three of them.

My Mom always entertained and made not only amazing dinners but she also made delicious desserts. This being one of them... She gave me this recipe years ago but I just had to share it with y'all. My kids loved it! It's super easy, but so satisfying. It is definitely summer time around here because Evan had this Ice Cream Cake leftover on his waffle for Breakfast … [Read more...]

About Town

Summer nights are so much FUN! Evan's playing Summer Baseball between practices and games, he hardly has time in the evening to go out "about town". Last night he didn't have any Baseball and he was able to have an evening with his two very favorite people! His Mom and his friend Lauren. Evan took us to PorQue No for dinner and then we went to Salt & Straw for dessert. The weather was sunny and warm which made for a perfect night. I love hanging out with my kids and I know before long they won't even want me to go! I'm cherishing every moment I get with them. Hope everyone is ready and excited for the weekend? I know I am...

Friendship In Marriage

Ever After Sign My Parents have been married for 47 years... They have groomed a beautiful path for me and my Husband. Here are 7 ways in my eyes, my parents have maintained their Friendship in Marriage. 1) GREAT COMMUNICATION I grew up in a very open home. There were very few secrets between any of the siblings or my parents and us kids. We ate dinner around the table every night- We had no choice it was my parents rule, we were always welcome to bring a guest, but we were to be there.  2) GREAT LISTENING We were also a family of talkers- (ok, maybe just me) but with that came a great family of listeners! Mom and Dad … [Read more...]

Straw Tote

Sweatshirt Straw Tote Jellie Sandals (on Sale 30% off) I love my new STRAW TOTE! You can use this adorable tote at the pool or even for a fun trip to the beach.
