Candy Corn Drink

I love when two of my favorite blogs cross paths!  Eighteen25 and Just Destiny Mag or two blogs I visit daily.  When I say that Just Destiny was doing a feature on Eighteen25 it was a no brainer I had to share.  How perfect is this Candy Corn Drink for a pre-trick-or-treat treat?

Cowboy Bacon Beans

As the days get cooler around here, I'm constantly looking for ways to incorporate heavier foods into our meals.  Cowboy Bacon Beans side dish is a great way to kind of merge warmer months with the cooler months because the baked beans remind you of the many cookouts of summer but they are kicked up a notch with the addition of brown sugar, bacon and chili powder.  Yum!

Guest Bathroom Final Reveal

It's finally done!!!  If you've been following along my journey with decorating our guest bathroom here, here and here, then I hope you're just as excited as I am :-)  I was able to get everything completely finished just in time for guests to actually use it.  I love how everything turned out from the beautiful shade of purple (Sherwin Williams' Vaguely Mauve), and all the contrasting colors patterns and textures used to bring this space to life.  Let me know what you think!

Chocolate & Orange Fall Wedding

Today's wedding is a throwback from about 5 years ago.  This has been my absolutely favorite fall wedding, I just love everything about it from the colors, to the room set-up, the uplighting and all the little details that made it perfect for the couple.  Their wedding day was truly filled with warmth and love.

Spicy Roasted Chicken

This Spicy Roasted Chicken might just be the best marinade that I have had in awhile.  It was the perfect balance of lemon and spice and perfectly moist and tender, I would love to try this grilled!

Bathroom Decor

I know, I know, it is taking me forever is seems to completely finish our guest bathroom!  Before I posted pictures of the final space, I wanted to find one more good accessory to make the space pop.  One rainy evening I searched a few of my favorite stores and snapped pictures of accessories I thought might look good on the counter top.  The first three pictures are photo's I snapped of the space to keep me on track with color scheme, patterns and artwork that would be cohabiting in the bathroom.  My goal is use bold patterns but keep a cohesive look.  Which piece do you think would look best in the bathroom?

DIY Party Favors

This past weekend we celebrated our Godson's 2nd Birthday, I literally remember the day he was born like it was yesterday.  Last year we did a Yo Gabba Gabba theme, this year we kept it equally as colorful Sesame Street theme.  With the help of Kate's Sesame Street Birthday Party and Free Printable's, I was able to put together these super cute DIY favors with Brysen's favorite snack, Animal Crackers!

Quesadillas with Shrimp and Peppers

Not being a lover of seafood lover, I must admit this recipe looked pretty good when I saw it on The Pioneer Woman.  I imagine it would be just as tasty with chicken substituted for the shrimp.  Try it out both ways and share your thoughts!

Denver, CO

I was lucky enough to spend Labor Day Weekend in the beautiful city of Denver, Colorado, visiting some pretty amazing friends.  Andi & Gini were great hosts and jam packed the weekend full of fun activities; karaoke, a hike at Red Rocks Amphitheater & Park, A Taste of Colorado Festival, Bond fire & Smores, Paddle Boarding at the Aurora Reservoir and some good old R&R.  It was an awesome weekend and I really enjoyed every minute of it!

One evening for a quick and easy dinner we whipped up a batch of boneless wings adapted from this recipe.  They were just as good as the one's from our favorite restaurant. Bon Appetit!

COLOR INSPIRATION: Burgundy & Coral

Although a tad bit uncommon, I think Burgundy & Coral is such a beautiful color combination and perfect for this time of year when we are saying goodbye to summer and hello to fall.  What do you think, is this a color palette you would use for your wedding?
