Russell Street BBQ

Last night, Jason surprised me and took me downtown to an awesome BBQ dinner date. We had such a great time. I love trying new restaurants and we tend to go to the same places. Russell Street BBQ is in NE Portland. This restaurant has a fun rustic flair to it... I loved the old Portland Bottling Company crate housing the bar accessories. (Adorable) For an appetizer we ordered BBQ Shrimp- Holy Cow! It came sitting inside of a BBQ Smoked Cheese sauce. WHAT? But yummy... I ordered Beef Brisket with a side of Chili con Carne. Jason ordered Baby Back Pork Ribs with his side Mess O'greens and BBQ Beans. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our … [Read more...]

After Christmas Sales

COUSINS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS DAY IN NEW JAMMIES Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas Day. Today, I'm still cleaning up after a weeks worth of parties... Almost finished! I ventured off to Target in my sweats and stocked up on cold medicine for the medicine cabinet. Jason has been sick with a horrible cough/cold. He is feeling much better now, it started a week before Christmas and we were really happy that we were able to Host Christmas. I also purchased cleaning supplies for the house... everything was empty. I love it when the house is stocked. I added a few photos of the Holiday with family- sorry about the quality they were just some … [Read more...]

Christmas Cookie Exchange

Annually, I host a Christmas Cookie Exchange. I have been hosting this event for 19 years. (Wow! how time flys) My friends love this event and plan their cookies almost a whole year ahead of time. We swap cookies and each guest leaves with a variety of Holiday cookies. We use them for Holiday parties or even to divide up onto trays and gift them to neighbors or friends. My cookie of choice was a no bake White Chocolate Dipped Oreo! I drizzled red and green chocolate with sprinkles for the finishing decor. I had a super fun night and love celebrating Christmas with my Girlfriends!  … [Read more...]

Jason takes half a day off work and we go Downtown and shop for family while enjoying all the festivities of the Holiday. The lights and stores are magical this time of year. I'm always checking out how each store decorates and styled their displays. Jason on the other hand always buys for himself. He doesn't go shopping much, but always enjoys going and when he finds great items he wants to buy them. Everything above was either purchased already or it was … [Read more...]
