Election Night

Honey and I were up at the crack of dawn and at the poll at 6:40 a.m.  I am so proud of him for registering and exercising his vote for the first time in this important election year!  And tonight we put our Election Night Dinner Plan into action!

Honey picked up our “Bipartisan Pizza” on his way home (one mushroom, one tomato) and I used our favorite and super easy churros recipe to make “Elephant Ears and Donkey Tails” for dessert.  The Star Spangled Sipper sounded great in theory but turned out a complete mix of colors that didn’t look a thing like the picture.  Of course, the littles sucked it down like it was the last beverage they’d ever see.

The baby is asleep and we’re all huddled around the tv with Judy’s Apple Cider (delish, by the way!) watching the votes roll in.  John is coloring in his map and we are keeping a tally of states and electoral votes on our poster.  What an exciting and electric night to be an American!

Mother Makes

Mother makes the most darling clothes for the baby and cousin Bird and I often fail to get them up on the blog.  When I unpacked the PCP’s hand-me-downs for this season, I found a slew of pants that were screaming for cute tops and couple of appliqued shortalls that I knew the baby would… Read More

Fall Family Wedding

We spent a gorgeous fall Saturday up on the lake in Tennessee for Sister’s sister-in-law’s wedding.  It was a lovely afternoon and the first wedding we’ve been to in quite some time.  I loved the bridesmaids gowns and flowers (and I think that Sister looked positively radiant). The sweet little flower girls dropped fall leaves,… Read More

Given how I adore seasonal décor and looooove a good little celebration, I have been ogling the darling Happy Everything plates and attachments by Coton Colors for some time now.  So, you can imagine how thrilled (and shocked and completely flattered) I was when out-of-the-blue Coton Colors sent me their mini Happy Everything platter, stand… Read More
