Inspiration for Stylish Entertaining
I think this is the final post in the Shabby Chic bridal shower series {although, you just never know} and its all about those amazing little brownie pops on the dessert table. I’ll admit this isn’t the most “unique” concept on the web, but I did want to give them a stand alone post so… Read More
Let the summer celebrations begin with Memorial Day this weekend. I can’t believe it’s that time already, but the weather is begging for us to plan those outdoor parties. If you’re planning a Memorial Day party or any party for the season, I’ve set up a fun little ice cream dessert table idea on Homes.com… Read More
A couple of weeks ago I remembered one of the treats I used to eat when I went for sleepovers at my girl friends house. I think it was around 7th or 8th grade and when she introduced me to these cracker-marshmallow treats I thought it was so unique, so ridiculously simple, and SO YUMMY! … Read More

With that in mind, what… Read More
Time for a little Mexican flavor to get you in the mood for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. I’ve been making this Mexican layer dip since my college days. I got the recipe while I was working a summer office job up in Northern Virginia. One of the gals in the office used to make… Read More
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love Mexican food & drink, and celebrating cinco de mayo. It’s also the perfect time to host a ladies night gathering with a few girl friends, mix up some margaritas, and serve up the chips and salsa/dips.
