Baseball In Arizona

Last week was Spring Break... We traveled to Arizona with Evan's High School Baseball team. The weather was absolutely amazing. We watched a lot of Baseball! Evan and Jason went to 3 Spring Training games and Clackamas High School had 6 tournament games. Whoo-hoo! Between games Ellie and I diffidently found the pool. I didn't want to leave AZ. We had such a great trip! Pre-Season Baseball is wrapping up... Now, let the League Season begin. Good Luck Evan! … [Read more...]

St. Patrick’s Day Treats

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I have my corn beef and cabbage in the crockpot. I love any excuse to celebrate... Here are some sweet treats you can easily whip up for the kids after school or for dessert tonight! Truth be told- {I don't even have a sweet tooth} I am completely a visual person so, I love color! All these treats LOOK so good! Obsessed with "Green" M&M's. Add them to white almond bark or to cookie batter and you instantly have St. Patrick treats. Another favorite is "Lucky Charm" cereal, you can make Rice Krispy treats and add them. You can also add them to sugar cookie batter. St. Patrick's Day wouldn't be complete if you didn't … [Read more...]

Spring Front Porch

Spring is in the air.... I found these sweet flowers the other day and decided to hang them on my front porch trellis. I bought the trellis last Summer and painted it. I tucked it in the garage during the Winter season and I was super happy to pull it out and decorate it for the Spring. I used framing wire to adhere the flowers to the trellis. I organized my flowers in a color pattern. I wasn't quite sure how many I needed when I originally purchased my flowers and  I came up short, so I had to go back for more to add to the trellis. I'm so excited about the way it turned out. I'm even more excited that it's Spring! Happy Wednesday Friends! … [Read more...]

Justin Bieber

Last night was epic in Portland... Since November, when tickets went on sale the Justin Bieber concert in Portland has been SOLD OUT! We were so excited we didn't just get tickets, we where lucky enough to get a suite. We were able to go to the concert with sixteen of our friends. This group photo here was a few of us before we left the house. Most of the concert photos were too dark because the lights were off. Some of our closest friends enjoyed this wonderful evening with us. The concert was AMAZING! This was Evan's very first concert... He jumped in with a BANG! Everyone had such a fun time dancing and singing. Sorry I'm posting so … [Read more...]

The Moscow Mule

It's happy hour somewhere... I am in love with these NEW Cocktail Kits in my boutique. This adorable little tin comes with a mixer, a spoon, a napkin, a jigger and of course the cute tin which houses everything. The only piece you are missing is the Alcohol. You can pick up a mini Vodka at the Liquor store or purchase a travel size on the air plane. All the pieces are reusable, keep everything and all you need to do is refill the travel bottle. Super fun gift idea! Have a great weekend... Bieber is in town on Sunday! Whoo-Hoo... … [Read more...]
