Southern Style Bloody Mary


Gary is great at making adult beverages.  I guess it's all those years ago when he was a bartender.   Anyway, sometimes I crave a nice spicy Bloody Mary and if Gary knows anything it's spicy.  I decided to share his recipe because it's just too good not to.


I feel so healthy when I drink a Bloody Mary.  You know you have to get your veggie in! ;)





Cheers friends!

cozy lights, Lily, itchy legs and festive drinks


I love this time of year.  

I love how cozy the house feels all lit up. 

 Lily seems to like Christmas time too. I love that my sweet little pup decided to smile at me for a picture in front of the tree.  She is wrecking my tree without even knowing it.  Our windows are basically from floor to ceiling and she is always looking out the window snooping on people.  Deer have been known to wander the streets and yards of our neighborhood and Lily loves to watch them all at the expense of our blinds and the Christmas tree.  There are pine needles ever.y.where. 

 And as I type this now I think I understand why Hayden's eczema is out of control....pine needles.


After a quick trip to the doc he seems to be better.  His allergies are ok, but his rash is awful. The worst it has ever been.  There is no doubt he is adjusting to this Georgia climate.


Along with the twinkling lights in my home I love the drinks of the season.

I am near a Starbucks again, so I have enjoyed drinking fru-fru coffee again.  Two years without Starbucks was a long time.  I didn't treat myself that often, but knowing I couldn't have it made me want it even more.


I drank the Chestnut Praline Latte and it was good.  It wasn't sweet at all and that to me was refreshing.  I can't do super sweet drinks in my old age. ;)


Champagne is an exception to the sweet drink rule. hahaha!   I tried an Apple Cider mimosa last night and it was so good.  Just pour some champs into a glass and add a splash or two of cider.  I loved it and drinking from a champagne glass is always fun!

Date night!

Gary and I snuck out for a date night, just the two of us!

We went to several different fun places here in town. We tried new drinks and yummy appetizers!



It was a fun night.


We are sad because our favorite babysitter is at our house for the very last time. She's moving away to college. We're so happy for her, but sad too!

Our week in Instagram pics




Monday while the kids were at school I drove all around town looking for houses.  I stopped and got this snack.  The SlimJim was yucky, but the Snapple was yummy!




Tuesday Hayden washed his golf clubs.



Wednesday we found a cute little farm house surrounded by lots of green grass and trees.  It is on a huge lot and we are in love with it!  We have 3 houses now....this new house, a rent house here in the same city and our house in Texas.  Our lease is expiring on our rent house and hopefully we will sell our house in Texas soon.  It will be so nice to have to keep up with only one house like most families.  Having multiple homes is for the birds!  I'm ready to start summertime stress free!



Thursday was our 'busy evening' day.

Hayden had soccer practice.



Layla had dance practice.  She is really loving it!  I'm so proud of her.



Friday was "Funday Friday."  I had lunch with a fun group of ladies!  We sat out by the river on a patio while the sun was blaring on us.  It was greatness!



Today I am making a simple syrup for the Mint Juleps we are drinking tonight at the Kentucky Derby/Cinco De Mayo party we are attending.  

That is our very busy week in a simple little nutshell.
