Trip to Sawnee Mountain & St Patricks Day Kitchen

 With a break in the rain last weekend, the girls and I took a fun trip to Sawnee Mountain and explore the fairy trails!

 Sweet sisters XOXO

 Exploring in the woods!

 Sawnee the Indian 

 A huge tree house to climb in

 Fun adventures with my girls!

 See that little fairy house, they were every where, there is a Girl Scout Troop who maintains the trail

 Another fairy house!

Nicole loved the bright colors

After all that exploring we went for a Brusters Ice Cream treat!

 And here are some pics of my St Patty's kitchen, all things green! The cute home sign and #17 came from Joann's

 Some shamrock garland from Walmart for a festive St Patricks! I got some Lucky Charms and Mint Oreos. These other 2 signs came from Joann's too, only $3 each!

 Some shamrocks around my coffee jars and a little clover banner!

My sister in law Amy gifted me this smell good candle from Targer and I filled my mason jar with some mint M&M's and of course, the #17!!

Sweet Treats and St Patrick's Day Crafts

 Happy Weekend Friends! Are you ready for all things green?!

I made this yummy dessert this week, its just a layer of box brownies, melted marshmallows and chocolate syrup, delish!!

 One of my favorite holiday dresses from Taylor to Nicole! This cute shamrock dress and Peppa are ready for a fun day!

Trying to take advantage of daylight savings day scooting in the sunshine!

 A sprinkled donut always starts the day off right!

 A sweet St Patricks start with some muffins! Just a package of Martha White muffin mix, milk and green dye! I got this idea from the Memory Making Momma!

I also treated my coworkers with another lemon pound cake! Just like the one I made for Mardi Gras, I just added green food coloring, delicious!

Just like me Nicole is no fan of night time thunder storms, scary!

 We also did a super easy and pretty cheap craft, just some canvas and washable paints

 I put out some tissue paper to help with the mess

 Then just used their handprints to make a shamrock!

 They loved it!

Then just let them dry over night and used them to decorate!

I also added some Irish charm around my dining room cabinet!

And I saw Beth Moore post this on her Instagram, it really spoke to me!

St Patrick's Day Mantel & Mardi Gras

 Happy Daylight Savings friends!

I could feel it this morning, that lost sleep but I do love seeing the sunshine when I get off work! Bring on the extra coffee!

For Sunday Supper this week, I made breakfast casserole for dinner and boy was it good. Dixie Delights recipe had lots of yummy hash browns, its a keeper!

With St Patricks Day this weekend I wanted to share with ya'll my green mantel!

 Only thing really new this year was the cute banner from the Target dollar spot and the girls shamrock hand print

 Most everything else came from Walmart or Home Goods a few years ago!

 I also filled the fireplace with some green lights of course!

The girls have also been wearing their super cute Target St Patty's cloths, Coco has a Care Bear and Tay has an adorable shamrock dress!

 When we got back from Columbus the other weekend, our sweet friend Emily came over to play!

 And to celebrate Mardi Gras, we enjoyed some Dutch Monkey Donuts King Cake!

 First bite in and Daddy found the baby!

 We also had some bean, rice and sausage!

A yummy Mardi Gras punch, just lemon lime soda, grape soda and pineapple juice

Some cute masks from Oriental Trading! We watched Princess and The Frog while celebrating New Orleans style!

 For a special treat on Fat Tuesday I took this marble lemon pound cake with me, recipe from The Memory Making Momma, boy this cake is GOOD!!!! I got rave reviews and hope to make it again for St Patricks Day

You can see the yellow, green and purple Mardi Gras colors inside! Jennifer has some of the BEST holiday ideas, love her stuff!!

101 Dalmations

 Welcoming March with all things Irish!

Here is my St Patrick's Day front door! Nothing really new but lots of green and some orange!

 Saturday while Daddy was working a pressure washing job the girls and I headed west to Columbus to go see 101 Dalmations with Gigi! Road Trip!

Look what Gigi surprised the girls with, Lucky the Dalmation and of course you know I had some matching tees from Etsy!

While walking to the Springer Opera House in downtown Columbus, we snapped a pic by the huge church doors that were so pretty!

 My girls!

 Headed into the show!

 Watch out Cruella!!

 We even made some cute doggy ears before the show! The play was fantastic and perfect for little kids, only 45 minutes, snacks allowed and a fantastic cast and music!

Ruff! Ruff!! Thank you Gigi for a fantastic show!

I also wanted to share this super cool pic of my brother and Dad meeting former UGA Head Coach, Ray Goff!

 And my Dad won a gun!! Welcome to West GA folks!!!
