Oh Snow Oh My!

Well, this is getting ridiculous.
Fayetteville has had days of snow, ice, and slippery roads.
Even more is supposedly on the way.

Some snow fun, plus some, in photos…

Snowstorm!

Holiday Weekend

The end of a long weekend is here.
I had the house, and the day, to myself.
As nice as it was,
bordom did sneak up on me.

After a couple hours in the pool,
I felt like getting a little crafty.
So I made my backyard
a little bit of pretty.

I gathered
construction paper, string
and my puppy too.

As dusk settled in
so did my hunger.
Made my mom’s mac & cheese
with fried okra
and dinner cupcakes
(corn bread, mashed potatoes, & bacon sprinkles).
This was a last minute idea
that is already a new favorite.

The lovely day came to a close
with a rainbow!

The rest of my holiday weekend in photos:

What do you get
when you give four girls
Champagne, Cupcakes, and new Hair?
A ton of self indulgent pictures
and a whole lot of sass.

But what else is new?

Special thanks to Taylor
for letting us get a little cray-zay
in her corner of the salon.

I may have shattered a champagne glass.

And invited my dog.

But that’s just what happens
when you put that mix together
on a random Thursday afternoon.

We had so much fun that we
just had to keep the afternoon alive.
Oh, and show off our hair.

Onwards to a Kingfish for patio beers
and take out hot dogs from Hammontree’s!

Can’t wait to do it all again

But I’m not sure about you, Miss Sadie.
You might need to cut back.

C and C

This Thursday us girls had a little Cupcakes & Champagne action.

We threw in some knitting, Domino’s pizza tracking, and singing made up songs to strangers on Chatroulette for good measure.

Despite the fun, it just wasn’t my night:
a) I forgot my cupcakes at home.
b) the champagne I bought was rotten.
c) ants got to the cupcakes before I made it back home.

Don’t worry.
We had back up.

Also, I received some very exciting news this week, which I’ll share after some photos…

As for my good news, I’m going to Maui in just 11 days!
I was invited to attend a few days worth of meetings in Hawaii, but I’m managing to get some relaxation time in too. It’s always been a dream of mine to go and this was just the perfect opportunity. Only bummer is that I’m going all alone!

Here’s my hotel, Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa

Maui!

I’ll leave you with a tip I overheard from a little Bleubird
Pebbles is making cupcake cereal! I need some… now, please.
