Look What I Found!

Fruit Roll ups are a REALLY big deal over here. I NEVER buy them...only as a special treat. So when I brought these home Cubby really wanted them all to himself. He hid them away in a drawer the big kids would never think to look in....he checks on them every now and then and counts them to make sure they are all there. It's all working good as long as he doesn't find the hiding spot I have for my special treats :)

$19.99

$19.99 is what I spent on this outfit!!!! I may wear it to my cousin's wedding in a few weeks. Yep! In case you don't know the Treatgirl very well, I'm a HUGE bargain hunter! I've been looking around for a dress for my cousin's wedding...April is SUCH a hard month...it can be 75 and sunny, or 40 degrees and rainy...and I HATE to be cold....so when I stumbled across this Norma Kamali dress at my Walmart on clearance for $15 I snatched it up. It's a thin jersey material, so I'm thinking even with the long sleeves if it's warmer I'll still be okay.

And do you remember the shoes I got from my Goodwill last week??? Who would have thought they'd go perfect with my dress from Walmart this week?! I love it for me!

Favorite Friday

Happy Friday Bloggy friends! Just because I haven't posted about any treasures I've found at my Goodwill lately, doesn't mean I haven't been there and scored. I'm almost embarrassed to admit I sometimes stop 2 or 3 times a week!!!! Look what I found the other day when I wasn't even looking.......These super amazing pumps from Black Market White House. I llloove the peek-a-boo toe and lace overlay...it's hard to see, but there are pretty black jewels along the opening too... Of course I did't "NEED" them, but for $7.99 I couldn't just leave them there!!




And on the next shelf over were these cutie patooties from Nine West. For REALS! Aren't they hot???? Can you see the gold heel???? I thought with a cute skirt or pair of skinny jeans this summer.....and again, I didn't NEED them...but for a whopping $4.99 I WAS NOT leaving them there!!!

Oh, and Yes, I painted my toes just to take these pictures :) I looooovve Essie nailpolish and now they have it at my Walmart. This is Peach Daiquiri if you'd like to get your toes into flip flop shape too! Have a happy weekend!!!

Spring????

Spring?? REALLY???? It says so on my calendar....but not out my window! We had another dusting of snow overnight....Spring, Please hurry!!!

THE.BEST.DINNER.ROLLS.EVVVVEEERRRR!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, if my dear little friend Marzipanmom doesn't stop over at her little blog I'm going to turn into a loaf of bread!! She made these a week or two ago and they are on her blog, click HERE to check it out.....along with a video, which was super duper helpful for me, because I don't have much self confidence yet...and to watch the video was really helpful. TRY THESE!!! I made a big batch of wedding soup today too......but I think 6 or 7 of these rolls may just be my dinner!

Happy St. Patty's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day to my bloggy friends!!!!! I've always loved to celebrate this holiday....especially in college with all of the green beer :)....but these days it really reminds me that spring is almost here and everything will be turning green soon. My mother in law was all Irish...her family came from County Cork, so in a way my kiddos do have a wee bit of Irish heritage. I've always dreamed of a trip to Ireland...hopefully someday.

It's been a tradition around here to surprise them with a box of Lucky Charms for breakfast...Cubby likes to dig around and load his bowl up with extra, extra marshmallows.



I also treated them to Shamrock sugar cookies....well, kinda for me too :) Enjoy this day.....Erin Go Braugh!!

Irish Soda Bread

I've been wanting to try my real life friend Marzipanmom's Irish Soda bread recipe for a while now...so, with St. Patrick's Day tomorrow I decided to give it a try. Click HERE to see the post on her blog and get the recipe...I'm so happy with the way it turned out...but I have to confess I didn't use currants...I substituted raisins. I also added extra orange zest.....yummmm...and as marzipan suggests, it is great toasted with butter!!!
