Sandoodles!

The perfect afternoon snack!

Core the apple; slice into at least eight slices, about 1/4-inch thick.

Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on one side of an apple slice.

Sprinkle with a few raisins.

Top with another apple slice. Sprinkle the top of your sandoodle with a little cinnamon sugar.

Serve and enjoy!

Happy Friday!

It's Friday, It's Friday
Happy Happy Friday! Can you tell I'm doing my Friday dance?

This weekend Husby and I are traveling with the volleyball team! We have a tournament in our hometown so it will be nice to catch up with some friends and family.
Don't forget about the giveaway I'm having in honor of the volleyball team!

Remember Husby's best friend that got married last month?? This family is having a surprise birthday party for him on Saturday. I'm so glad we will already be in town so we can celebrate with everyone. We always have the BEST time with them.

What do you all have going on the weekend?? Anything fun?

Easy Entertaining!

 Serving a vegetable tray at your next event? Use this simple yet, oh so adorable way to place your vegetables.


1st step... Wash all Produce

2nd Step... Cut the top off the green bell pepper and remove the seeds

3rd Step... Cut red pepper, yellow pepper, carrots, and celery into strips

4th Step... Pour 2 tablespoons of low fat dressing into the bottom of each snack cup

Last Step... Place equal amounts or red pepper strips, carrot strips, celery strips, and yellow pepper strips into each snack cup, then start dipping and snacking!

Although, you could totally eat these as a snack I love to make these when I'm hosting any event where I will be serving a vegetable tray. Sometimes I will let people make their own snack cup but a lot of the time I will just use the green pepper as a cute bowl. You could fill it with your vegetable dip and place a spoon inside the pepper. 
What is your favorite easy entertaining tip??

Refrigerator Finds!

There is nothing more welcoming than to walk into someones kitchen with their refrigerator covered in a collage of pictures, to-do lists, calendars, coloring pages, and grocery lists. Husby and I have NOTHING on our refrigerator and I hate it! I have been searching for the perfect magnets since we moved into our house but I have had no luck. Until the other day... I had the genius idea to search the ETSY website. You can find anything on there, right?  I'm seriously SOO glad I did. Look at what all I found...

The button magnet is soo cute!


How cool is this? I love that you can store herbs and spices this way.

I love all the colors of the fruit. These would totally match my kitchen.


I'm a sucker for floral prints.


I, of course love the UK bottle caps! Showing my UK pride.


ah-dorable clothespins!



I love the letters.

How will I ever be able to choose what magnets to buy? They are all presh!
I need your help; which ones are your favorite??
