Food Friday

The little foodie and I love an excuse to throw a party, so we had a little Mardis Gras celebration with a few of our friends.

Pizza and king cake were on the menu. We visited the Dollar Tree for a few decorations and we were ready to party!


I love that we all wore colors to match the occasion. Green, gold and purple. I also love our eyes, or lack of, in these masks. Having friends to laugh with, is the best.

The smile on my friend Sara's face is always contagious, mask or no mask.

A Mardis Gras party is not complete with out the king cake. I had never had a king cake and was most excited about trying one. I intended to make ours, but when I got to Kroger and saw how cute they were and how cheap they were in the bakery, I quickly put one in my buggy and disregarded making one.

My friend Brittni told me to pose with the cake and say I made it, but I cannot lie. I love that it came with the beads and the baby all ready to stick inside. A king cake just looks fun, doesn't it?!


We warmed ours up in the microwave. It tasted delish! It reminded me alot of a coffee cake. I know the recipe I read suggested making a monkey bread. I think that would have been really good also.

Even the little guys wore green and were ready to party. Henry loved having friends come over. They played hard! He and Camron had a disagreement over the beads in Henry's hands. Camron left our house with the wounds on his neck to prove it. I was a wee bit mortified, of course.
My friend Brittni's daughter Blaire, made our masks in her art class at school. I just love that child and thought her masks were way too cute!

Sara and her sweet little guys enjoying pizza and toys. Our little loves played so well together and had so much fun. Sara's youngest said our party was "the best party". I loved that!

Noah got the baby! He was so excited. We had a fun time. Food, fun and friends...you can't go wrong!

Happy Food Friday!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
