I am in LOVE with this Wren Studio 14Kt rose gold heart necklace with black sapphire.  I’ve been wearing it every day this week and have gotten so many compliments on this dainty little necklace.  It goes with everything!

Chipotle Sandwich @SmithfieldFoods #SummerSizzling #weavemade and #ad

We like to spice things up in the summer time.  We live in Texas after all?  I have a great recipe to share with y’all today using Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork.  Smithfield’s 100% fresh pork cuts are slow-marinated and perfectly seasoned. Simply grill them up and you’ve got a delicious dinner ready in minutes.  I’m no Martha Stewart and I’m always looking for easy dinners for our family.  Anything that helps me save a step or prep work while cooking is right up my alley.

We are in an apartment this summer (since our house sold in 2 days and we sure do miss grilling outside) but I use this pan ALL.THE.TIME. to grill meat in.  It’s perfect for getting a sear on the outside of the meat and cooks thoroughly. Meat just tastes better grilled in my opinion.  Just because we are inside doesn’t mean we still can’t have fun grilling 🙂

We love to make all different sandwiches, my husband is the sandwich connoisseur, so today I’m sharing a recipe for chipotle sandwiches.

The Sauce:

Chipotle Mayonnaise

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. chipotle sauce (found in the Mexican aisle)
1/2 lime juice

Mix together until thoroughly combined.

chipotlesauce

Toasty buns:

These are just regular hoagie buns found in the bakery section.

BBP_3798

Cook Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork.  Directions are on the back of every package.  Easy and FAST!  I cut mine really thin into shaved pieces to place on sandwiches.

BBP_3800

Spread Chipotle Mayonnaise on bread, add Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork, and serve.

BBP_3805

This was so easy to make and took less than 30 minutes.  We are so busy right now and have a ton going on.   Easy meals speak to me on so many levels.  I don’t have time to slice and dice everything, let alone wait hours for my meat to marinate.  With Smithfield® Marinated Fresh Pork everything is seasoned and ready to go right out of the package.  There are so many different flavors to choose from too, including Memphis BBQ, Garlic & Herb, Teriyaki, Mesquite, Rosemary & Olive Oil, Portabello Mushroom, and many more.  Check out all the different selections HERE.

Texas Summertime on Fat Daddy’s New Patio!

I attended a complimentary event with DFW Bloggers at Fat Daddy’s in Mansfield as part of their media guests.  All opinions are my own.

Summer is in full swing lady friends and it’s time to have some fun!  I can’t think of a better place than Fat Daddy’s in Mansfield, TX.  Fat Daddy’s has a brand new patio to hang out on and watch a game or spend time with your girlfriends.  The patio was decorated so nice & festive for the 4th of July.

Fat Daddy's New Patio Addition

I had such a fun night meeting friends and I tried the Fat Daddy’s “Pink Cadillac”, which I highly recommend 🙂

The new patio has a full bar and comfy seating throughout.  There are also several televisions tuned into different sports channels so your guy doesn’t miss his favorite game.  I’m not a fan of sweating and thank goodness there is no shortage of fans on the patio.  You get that cool breeze while dining and enjoying your company.

Fat Daddy’s has a new event going on just about every night.  Check out their list of Live Music and Events.  I’m personally looking forward to 80’s night!!!  Woohoo!!!

Fat Daddy’s also has a beautiful room in the back for private parties and events.  This room would be perfect for company holiday parties or birthday celebrations.

Fat Daddy’s is large enough to invite all your friends, yet it’s warm and inviting, not cold like some night clubs.  Our group had a great time!  Yummy food, drinks, conversation, and DESSERT!  Our server was attentive to our needs and I enjoyed my time at Fat Daddy’s very much.  If you are in the DFW area check out Fat Daddy’s and their new patio.  I guarantee you’ll have a great time!

I wanted to share with all you local gals about the AMAZING spa experience I had at Envy Medical Day Spa in Weatherford.  I had a Pellevue facial and it was so relaxing I nearly fell asleep.  My skin felt so smooth.  Pelleve Skin Tightening treatment is the latest in Spa treatments to give you a younger, fresher feeling look around your face.  It helps remove Crow’s Feet, Laugh Lines and sagging skin by using the amazing new technology of Pelleve.

Everyone at Envy Medical Day Spa was sooooo nice & you can tell they genuinely care about your well-being.  I’m excited to trying their oxygen facial as well.

Gevalia Iced Coffee #GevaliaIcedCoffee #IC #Ad

“I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

I am SOOOOO excited about these new Gevalia Iced Coffeed with Almond Milk y’all.  I think everyone that reads my blog knows I LOVE my coffee and I know good coffee when I taste it.

It’s so hot right now in Texas I’m on a big iced coffee kick.  This Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk hits my coffee radar in every way.  It’s made with 100% Arabica Gevalia coffee, almond milk, and 9 grams of protein per single serve carton, as well as “just enough sweetness”.

I’m always in the car.  Our mornings are go…go…go!!!  Getting Connor ready for school & then I’m out the door for work.  Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk is easy to grab from the fridge and just throw in your bag for the day when you need a little pick me up.

I’m a big fan of Almond milk.  It’s sweet and good for you and tastes wonderful in coffee.
Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk is the first ready-to-drink offering from Gevalia and is now available in grocery stores across the U.S. in three flavors: Mocha, Vanilla and Caramel.

Terence tried it one morning when he was running late and he said “Wow, this is actually really good!”  Sometimes I think my husband is a bigger “coffee snob” than I am 😉
With nine grams of protein per single serve carton & 170 calories this is a great option, especially for families on the go.   I’m a big caramel fan, so I absolutely LOVED the caramel flavor.  The Mocha was delicious and creamy as well.  All flavors were so good it was hard to choose a favorite.  Even if I hadn’t been sent sample to try I would definitely recommend these coffee drinks…no lie!!!  They are so good and I’ll definitely be filling my fridge with Gevalia Iced Coffee with Almond Milk this summer.

When You Just Have to Know: First Response #IC #ad

“I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for First Response. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

Looking back at my pregnancy with Connor it amazes me how quickly everything flew by. We tried for quite a while to get pregnant with that little guy!  I was sooooo sick with morning sickness I could barely keep anything down.  I was also so incredibly tired all the time.  I guess that is God’s way of preparing your body to become a walking zombie once that baby is born!  Ha ha!

I remember the day I found out I was pregnant.  I went after work to get a pedicure and I just couldn’t STAND the smell in the nail salon.  I knew something was off because I started feeling dizzy and restless.  I thought to myself “I really have to stop drinking so much coffee!”  I kept a bunch of pregnancy tests at home just in case I needed them.  I went home after I left the nail salon and took one while Terence was in the shower and OMG….it was POSITIVE!!!

BBP_3557

I remember feeling excited and scared and wanting to know FOR SURE that it was indeed positive.  We drove to the drug store that night and picked up about four or five more pregnancy tests.  When you think you are expecting so many things are running through your mind and all you want is reassurance.  Thank goodness for First Response Early Result Pregnancy Tests.  It’s FDA approved and detects pregnancy as early as six days before the day of your missed period.  First Response Pregnancy Tests have been re-designed to fit a woman’s hand and have a 50% wider tip and longer handle.

 

I didn’t find out I was pregnant with Connor until I was almost 8 weeks.  I would have loved to have known sooner.  First Response Early Result Pregnancy Tests are easy-to-read & you get results in 3 minutes with over 99% accuracy from the day of the expected period.  I can tell you those 3 minutes feel like forever, but there is nothing more exciting than seeing those two little pink lines 🙂

And in the end you get this beautiful little person to bring home and love.  There is nothing in the world like it.  The sooner you find out you are pregnant, the sooner you can start taking care of your body & preparing for the changes to come.  Thanks to First Response Early Result Pregnancy Tests for giving Moms that little bit of extra time….because every second counts!

It’s summer…summer time y’all!  I can’t wait to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and have some place else to gather.  This summer has been crazy busy for us and I told y’all in my last post we are moving!  Well, we FOUND A HOUSE!!!  Yay!  It has a gorgeous back yard and I can’t wait to have friends and family over for barbecues and gatherings.

BBP_3254

This summer is all about making memories, especially in our new home.  I’m sure you’ve been to the grocery store lately and seen all the fun Coke products out.  I went to Brookshire’s this weekend and picked up some Coke with fun sayings like “Mom”, “Grad”, “Dad”, “Superstar”, “Bro”, and you can even find your own name on some Coke bottles.  I have yet to find Becky though…ha…ha..!!!  It has to be out there somewhere because I saw the name “Griselda” the other day and I thought to myself if Coke is making that name they have a Becky out there in the universe!

Last year’s Share a Coke campaign was such a success, Coke has brought it back bigger and better! This year Coke will have 1000 names featured on 20 ounce bottles along with other unique products.  The special Coke cans come in all varieties, including Coke classic, diet, and zero.

As I shop at Brookshire’s this summer & I see the name of someone I know I’ll pick up a Coke for them.  I’m excited to share it with them because it’s almost like it was made ESPECIALLY for that person.  I think I’m going to get Terence one that says “Better Half”.  Ha ha!  Well, he can give it to me maybe?

When I got home from work yesterday I made a delicious Coke float. What is better during the summer than an ice-cold Coke float?

I mean…..

So, who are you planning on sharing a Coke with this summer?  Have you found your name yet?

BBP_3262

The “Grad” Coke drinks would be so cute if you know of someone graduating this year.  Also, don’t forget Father’s day is coming up and they have “Dad” Cokes too.

Cheers to a wonderful summer friends and don’t forget to SHARE A COKE!
