News and a Dressed Up Treat

Sorry for the lapse between blogs. A lot has happened since we last spoke- most importantly my husband and I are now expecting! We are 11 weeks along! Advice from any Mommies is VERY welcomed!

Speaking of Mom's - my Mom and I went to a Scrap Book Expo and saw a cute idea for dressing up Tic Tacs done by Stampin Up .

I think these would be great for a baby shower- put on some baby theme paper and decorate with cute baby buttons and ribbon. These just might be at my shower!

New Favorite Thing

I've been drinking 2/3 bottles of water a day. With the plastic piling up and the water fountain at work not being a glacier spring I needed a solution. Intro the new Brita Bottle this little invention is WONDERFUL! Even my tap water (which I usual enjoy sans filter) is more enjoyable! I picked mine up at Target for 9.99 - do you have a favorite new invention?

Southern Eats - Sausage Plate

On our road trip we tried a sausage plate- my Brother in Law swears that they are the thing to eat in the south, and it was TASTY!
So I decided tonight to try my hand at a version.
Dill Pickles
Extra Sharp Cheese
Beef Polish Sausage Pan fried
Creole Mustard (Scratchamos- picked it up in New Orleans)
And home made deviled eggs (leftover from 4th of July)

In Tennessee it had dill pickles, a mild cheese, a slightly spicy sausage, crackers, a mayonnaise like dip, and pickled peppers.

Bon Temps!

Wordless Wednesday- Jean Lafitte's Bar, Fountain

Back from the Epic Road Trip

We are back from our super road trip and our favorite part of our trip was Sun Studio
Johnny Cash, Howling Wolf, Elvis, and sooo many more recorded in these walls. You can just feel the air change when you are in there. Almost as magical as New Orleans.....

Back to NY and back to our routine.... I'm off to work on some new products for yellow boutique (Saratoga is starting to swing already!).

Do you have any summer plans?

A piece of the majesty that is the US. This is right outside where I grew up in Keeseville NY, the beautiful Ausable Chasm. Thank you to our Veterans past and present for defending everything we love in the States.
