I like to share a little recap of my week at the start of each party:

Margarita_Hero_650
On Friday night, I made homemade margaritas! It is SO easy to do with only 3 ingredients. In a shaker, combine the juice of 2 limes, 4 oz of water, 2 oz of tequila and 1 oz of agave nectar. Shake and serve in a salt rimmed glass. I enjoyed this margarita with My Brother's Salsa and their organic corn tortilla chips. I went with the cucumber tomato salsa and it was delicious! What I love about My Brother's Salsa is that the salsa is all natural, gluten free, no preservatives, no sugar added, low sodium and no artificial colors or flavors. The ingredients are listed right on their website!

Last weekend, my daughter had a Brownies event at a nearby park. We walked on the trail and made nature bracelets. We also saw TWO snakes, one was by my feet when we stopped on a trail, but thankfully it was just a little one! Yikes!

I went for a run on my favorite trail this week and the leaves are really starting to fall. So pretty! I also finally got a chance to whip up the Idahoan Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes that Influenster sent me. I added some extras to them to make them loaded mashed potatoes!

Nugget, our hamster has been under the weather. He is on antibiotics and a steroid, because the vet thinks he has an inner ear infection. He sort of leans to one side and was really bad before we started the medicine. He could barely walk without falling over. Now he seems to be able to walk, but he's sleeping A LOT. So, I don't know what will happen. He goes off the medicine in a couple of days and I'm worried he will get worse again. Nathan got to camp this weekend for cub scouts! Camping is one of his favorite things to do!
Full Disclosure: The salsa and mashed potatoes were gifted to me in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% mine.

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...

Creating a Wider Doorway

My kitchen has no outside walls. That means it has no windows directly to the outdoors. UGH. I love light, I love sunshine streaming through windows and lighting up my house. This was not the case in my kitchen. Last year I renovated the space and added a pass through window in one of the walls.  Now the sun can reach the kitchen - hooray!!  But it is still not a terribly well-lit space. Cue my desire to open the wall between the living and dining rooms - the dining room is the brightest room in the house.  That, however, will be a big job because the wall is a supporting wall (at least I'm treating it that way, even if the building inspector didn't think it was).  I decided to tackle the opening from the living room into the kitchen instead since I know for sure that wall isn't supporting.

Open House Sundays #10 - Cloches & Lavender

Welcome to Open House Sundays where we get a personal invitation to tour through a different blogger's house every week!
