Hi All!
Okay so today it’s like 80-something degrees…but wait for it….Saturday it’s going to be in the FIFTIES!!! Bring on the scarves, boots, and sweaters….YIPPEE!
Here’s my little punkin and the pumpkin patch. He’s getting so big! 
I love sooooo many things about fall. The smell in the air, the clothes, the temperature. A reason to drink HOT coffee! One thing I don’t care too much for is GERMS!
We use Zoono’s GermFree24® Hand Sanitizer. It’s an FDA-compliant, water-based hand sanitizer that kills 99.99% of germs on contact and keeps killing them for up to 24 hours.
GermFree24® provides protection against germs for up to 24 hours. Over that time period, you might touch hundreds of surfaces, each covered with tens of thousands of microbes, half of which will stick to your hands. Here’s the lowdown on some of the germs you may encounter over a 24-hour period:
Why choose Zoono’s GermFree24???

Happy Halloweeeeeeen Everyone!
Today I’m getting crafty and showing you a fun gift for a teacher, neighbor, friend, or whoever you would like to send a BOO to!
I made these fun Mini Babybel® boo- quets. First – cheese is EVERYTHING! Second – how cute are these little goodie buckets? Third – let me show you how easy it is to make these cuties.
You can purchase Mini Babybel® at Target. It’s a wholesome, nutrient-rich, all natural snacking option for the whole family. Mini Babybel is on sale all this month at Target. It’s 100% real cheese & comes in six different varieties.
Connor loves Babybel because they are fun to open and come in really cute wrappers. Look at these festive wrappers for Halloween.
Babybel is a great source of calcium and protein. It’s perfect for snacking, lunches, or the occasional kitchen grazer 🙂 Not to mention it’s super convenient if your in a hurry or on the go.
This Halloween why not serve something healthy and delicious as an alternative to all that sugar? These fun Halloween boo-quets cost less than a few dollars to make and I’m sure they would make someones day extra special!
Check out the video below to learn how to make these fun boo-quets!
Ever since I found out Dallas was opening up a few of the Starbucks Reserve stores I’ve been dying to go visit. If you’ve been following my blog for the past 11 something years…then you know my love for Starbucks runs deep.
I had heard lots of things about the Reserve. I heard they had different coffees, flavors, and concoctions. When I first walked in the atmosphere was very warm and inviting and the bar looked kind of like a chemistry lab.
(On the left is my Americano Con Crema & on the right is Terence’s Vanilla Latte)
Well….let’s get to experimenting now shall we!
I tried the “Americano Con Creme” and it was delicious! It’s an Americano with cold, blended foam, made with milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. My first thought was that it doesn’t taste like regular Starbucks coffee. The burnt flavor that everyone claims Starbucks coffee has wasn’t there. Also, there is was a $3 extra charge for special “Reserve shots”. Be prepared to spend a little more for your fancy coffee.
The Starbucks Reserve also offers tons of other flavors of coffees from different places all over the world. These are coffees that you normally won’t see at a regular Starbucks. These are small batches that come from different origins all over the world.
As far as food goes…they don’t really offer any bites different than their normal menu. Starbucks Reserve is clearly all about the beverage. I was a bit disappointed in that because I had hoped they would offer other foodie items as well.
So, my biggest takeaway…I liked it. I don’t think I would go out of my way to get this coffee as opposed to a regular Starbucks drink. It’s more about the experience and atmosphere. I think next time I’ll be trying one of the ice cream beverages. You can’t go wrong with a Classic Affogato or Cold Brew Float with scoops of vanilla ice cream. 
In other fall family news…we made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch! This kiddo is getting so big! Every morning I wake up to my Facebook and Time Hop just kills me every time with the flashbacks. Does any other Mama think Time Hop makes you a little teary eyed?
It has been a busy season for sure! I look forward to cooler temps here in Texas and sharing lots more with all of you over the next few month….good things to come!

Sunday was Father-Daughter Day y’all! This day was incredibly special to me because my Dad had a house of only girls and I’m thankful we didn’t drive him in sane! Actually, I am pretty sure we did drive him in sane at times, but he still kept us around anyway. My Daddy means so much to me. He has the biggest heart in the entire world and has loved me and my twin sister through thick and thin. No matter how many mistakes we’ve made over the years, my Dad has been there to talk to, give a hug, or provide guidance.
This Father Daughter Day American Greetings has created a special ecard with Smokey Robinson’s version of ‘My Girl’. When you log on to send your ecard you can even personalize it to this classic tune with your special someone’s name built right into the song. It can also be customized for a variety of different occasions. How Cool is that?
Find the Smokey Robinson ecards and more digital options for staying connected at the American Greetings website.
There are two new Smokey Robinson video ecards launching in October. These cards are the third installment in American Greetings Hollywood SmashUps™ collection of celebrity video ecards and will give fans the opportunity to customize greetings sung by Smokey himself for a variety of holidays and occasions.
My Dad also loves to SING! He sang to me on my wedding day before he walked me down the isle. He has always loved to sing and he enjoys music so much! I can just picture him opening this ecard and singing along with Smokey Robinson 🙂
These days not only he the best Dad around he’s also a pretty darn good Poppy too!
Don’t forget about your Dad, why not send him something special that will put a smile on his face 🙂

A few weeks ago my family and I had dinner at the AMAZING Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar. I’ve talked about this restaurant before and we LOVE it so much. Everything I’ve ever had at Lazy Dog has been above and beyond delicious.
I wanted to share with you all some of our favorites and they also have a yummy spring/summer menu that you’ll have to go check out too. Also, don’t forget to bring your fur babies- they are welcome on the patio! You can also have your picture taken to go inside on the Lazy Dog Hall of Fame Wall!
We started out with the Queso Dip- Jack, cheddar, queso blanco, pickled jalapenos, pimentos, cilantro black beans, hand-cut tortilla chips. This is not your ordinary cheese dip, it’s so much better and made with real cheese.
We also ordered these corn wheels- they have a sauce made with lime, garlic, queso blanco, tajín, & cilantro. These are also a MUST try item on my list if you visit!
I had the watermelon margarita and it was super refreshing. Terence tried the peach moonshine. They also have a great happy hour menu Mon-Friday 3pm-6pm. There is also a brunch menu for Sundays and a special menu for your “lazy dog”.
This is the second time I’ve had the Grizzly Fries and I’m sure it won’t be the last. They are Potato wedges with housemade secret sauce, crispy bacon, fried sweety drop peppers, smoked paprika.
Terence had a steak and he said it was one of the best he’s had. He looks like a happy camper right? Our server was the sweetest too, they have the friendliest staff.
I ordered the Strawberry field salad with heirloom tomatoes.
I also got a bowl of the corn chowder and it’s probably my favorite soup I’ve ever had. The flavor is sooooooooo good!
Terence and I got desserts to go because we could barely walk to the car afterwards. Literally…we were stuffed! I tried the banana pudding and Terence ordered their famous butter cake.
We had the nicest family dinner we’ve had in a long time and I’m so excited that Lazy Dog is close to where we live so we can enjoy it often!
Go check out the Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar’s new spring/summer menu…I promise you won’t be disappointed! Lazy Dog is designed like a lodge with cozy fireplaces, ledge stone and a chandelier crafted from Aspen logs. The dog-friendly patio offers a dog menu, featuring grilled meats and brown rice. Everything from the food to the atmosphere leaves me wanting to come back ASAP! Thank you Lazy Dog in Euless, TX for hosting us and we will for sure be back during the “Dog Days of Summer” 🙂
