Sweet Spring Sundays

I don't know about other places, but in California, it's warm and dry. It's also been warm and dry for the last two years but that's besides the point.  Since it was the first weekend of spring, we decided to have an impromptu barbecue this weekend.  I took no pictures. I had no decorations.  I wish I did so I'm going to show you what I wish my barbecue looked like (and tasted like).

We made homemade burgers with bacon cooked into them.  Bacon.

Here is a list of 15 bacon burger recipes, my favorite is the buffalo burgers with bacon and blue cheese. I just died:

 

I love, love, loveeeeee these party lights:

 

 

I've really been digging brighter colors. You know, skipping the Easter pastels and jumping straight to summer. I love these for any party:

 

 

 

Here's some random party things I love:

In case you were wondering how to make a nice cheese plate...I love cheese.

Here's my PINTEREST board and ETSY board for all things party.

 

Have a great week everyone and don't forget to smile :)

Friday, Friday, Friday!!!

Since I have officially FINISHED the lecture portion of nursing school (praise The Lord!!), I will now have time to start blogging again. I am oh so excited.  As a nurse, Fridays generally won't have a meaning, since scheduling is so crazy.  I may be interning today at 3 or I may not.  The crappy thing is they won't know until 1, so I won't know until 1...it blows.  BUT I AM SO EXCITED to get started with the real world. 

 

Anyways......

 

A new regular blog feature is set on Fridays...Fridays Favorites!!

 

Todays Fridays Favorites is about scarves.  I have sick, sick, obsession with scarves.  Infinite scarves, sweater scarves, regular scarves, ruffled scarves, white scarves, black scarves, long scarves, and short scarves! I love them all. They are also great for every season, except the 100+ temps.  They are good for cold weather, windy weather, and really sunny days.  Here's a few of my favorites (all are from Etsy since supporting small business is important):

My Etsy favorites folder for scarves has about 30 so far, here's the link for that if you would like to take a look :)

There is no way I'm the only scarf addict around here, so go check it out.  I also have a very large (ahem...excessive) pinterest board featuring outfits I love HERE so you can check that out as well.  Don't be afraid of wearing a scarf, they add so much class and style to any outfit, I promise you will get compliments if you wear one. 

 

Have a good day everyone!  Go make a difference and don't forget to be kind.
