top'o the morning to ya!

it's Friday yall!! i am so ready for this super fun and packed weekend that i wish it was 5 o'clock already. we are going to have a quiet night in tonight to gear up for the next two days. of course, i have to work tomorrow morning, but after that Andy and I are heading north to go horseback riding. Andy got me a Living Social voucher for Valentines Day and we get to use it this weekend! Saturday night we will be celebrating St. Patrick's and a friend's birthday at a lake house and then SPP is hitting a car show in Atlanta on Sunday. needless to say, we will all be worn out by the time Sunday night rolls around but i love being busy so this weekend is gonna be the best!

now on to my outfit for a night out during St. Patrick's day. if we had plans to go out on the town, i would choose something along these lines before. i love the more neutral looks of the clothing, while giving a pop of color in the jewelry. i am not a huge fan of green all over and i feel like for night time this laid back look works a lot better. you still get a pop of color from the blue, and i love the green and gold like before.

Thankful Thursday #2

Today I am THANKFUL for...

• the short holiday from work yesterday, it will make a slow week go by a little faster.
• laughing out loud, I shared lots of laughs over the past few nights while playing with some of the cutest little ones.
• Our armed forces, they fight and work everyday for our freedom, it is easy to forget to give them THANKS
• Friends away from home, although I missed my family dearly on the 4th yesterday, I am thankful for those I got to spend time with
• an apple everyday, my mid-morning snack, always supplied by a co-worker, that gets me through the morning

BLOG HOP!!

hopefully this works right...

Every year I make some variation of this dessert for the 4th, and this year I decided that cupcakes would be appropriate.  I am obsessed with fresh fruit this time of year, strawberries and blueberries being perfect for this easy dessert!

I use a box cake mix to make it even simpler. Add cream cheese and powdered sugar to some Cool Whip, and voila!! Yummy icing! The red, white, and blue of this dessert is so great and looks completely fresh.

What is your favorite dessert for the 4th?

Are you loving the fresh colors of red, white, and blue?
