Misc. Monday
I had a fabulous weekend! I love spending quality time with my Husby. Friday night we relaxed, I cooked dinner and we went to the mall. Husby was in need of a new pair of sunglasses. Of course I also had to run into a few of my favorite stores. I got an ah-dorable pair to jeans from GAP where they were 40% off Whoo Hoo...
Saturday we had some projects around the house that needed to be done; cleaning out the flower beds, mowing the yard, laundry and basic cleaning. Saturday night we went back home for a cook-out with Husby's side of the family.
Sunday we went to church, took the puppy for a walk, and I started making a mesh wreath. I'm using the blue and white mesh in hopes it will turn out to be a cute UK wreath! We will see ;)
Like always, this will be a crazy week! I have some great things going on.
Today I'll be making Banana Wraps with a group. Tomorrow I'll be filming a TV segment on healthy after-school snacks where I'll also show this little treat!

Spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter on one side of 100% whole wheat tortilla. Then spread 1 tablespoon strawberry fruit spread or strawberry jelly on top.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of seedless raisins over jelly.
Place banana at one end of tortilla. Roll tortilla up to cover the banana
Use a sharp knife to cut in half.
The rest of this week is filled with meetings!!
What about you all? What do you have going on??

A Sushi Experience!
Yuck!!!
I officially had my very first sushi experience the other day. Talk about an experience!!!! I am NOT a fan. I know it can be a healthy choice and a "witty" if you will, thing to eat but I, however, do.not.like the stuff! Yuckolla! One of the agents in my office is on a sushi kick. So I agreed to join her for lunch. Unfortunately for me I could only eat a piece of each roll. I know some of you will ask which rolls I ate but honestly I can't even remember. All I know is I will never eat sushi again! ha!!
Are you a sushi fan?

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

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.
How convenient?
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??

Goin' to the Chapel!
A wedding day is so special and it means so much when someone asks you to be apart of their day. Husby and I were blessed to be a witness of Chelsea and Adam. Husby was Adam's best man in the wedding. What an honor? Husby, the groom and 5 other guys all have gone to school together since the 1st grade. They have been best friends for the past 20 years. They have adopted us wives into the club... thank goodness ;) This group of friends are more like family. I just love have such amazing people in our lives.
The wedding was absolutely beautiful. I loved her colors. Don't you?
Husby did such a great job on his speech!
I love the classic theme she had. Just beautiful!
