Reese Cup Love

What you'll need:

Cupcake Liners

Reese Cups

No Bake Cheesecake Mix

Chocolate Chips or PB Chips (I used both)

I wanted to make my Mom a dessert that she'd love for Mothers Day and with our busy schedule, I didn't have a whole lot of time. I turned to Pinterest & found this recipe. It was so, so easy. You place the Reese Cups in the bottom of your cupcake liners, mix the No Bake Cheesecake by the instructions on the box. Pour over the Reese Cups & top with Chocolate & PB Chips. Cool for a few hours and they're ready to enjoy! Easy, peesy, just the way I like it :)

Mother's Day

The night before Mothers Day, Creag cooked us one of the best meals that I've probably ever had! Steak Oscar, over top of mashed cauliflower. It was so, so good & we loved every single bite. Mothers Day was spent at the Reds Game with Yvonne, Dave, Mica, Tyler, Ellery, Willis & Michael. We spent the day in the Suite & had a great time. After the game, we picked up BBQ and had Mom & Dad over for dinner. I'm so blessed to have a big family to celebrate with, a husband to make these holidays special for me & kids that I love more than anything.

Deck Redo

We've been in our house for a few years now & have never really put a lot of thought and effort into our deck. We've tried small things here and there to make it cozy, but it was never really what we wanted until now. Mica & Tyler gave us their old patio set, so we decided it was time to go all out & make our deck the oasis that we've always wanted. We bought the fireplace, love seat, chair, rug & accessories from Home Depot/Lowes & Creag strung the lights which give it a courtyard feel. We absolutely LOVE it & we've already spent so many nights out on the deck, eating dinner & relaxing by the fire. If you love being outside, I definitely recommend making your space something that reflects you, so you can enjoy your time at home to the fullest.

Take Me Out To the Ballgame

There are only a few things better than baseball season.

There's just something about the fresh spring air.

Ballpark hot dogs, peanuts & cold drinks.

There's also the great feeling of watching your child playing a sport that he loves,

and beaming with pride when he gets a hit or catches a fly ball.

Vacation Shenanigans (Perdido Key)

We did quite a few other things besides just rest our bums on the beach all week.
Creag & I took the girls on Vacation in 2010 to Gulf Shores & we went to the Hang Out for the first time. We thought it'd be cool to take all of the kids there again.

We saw the Blue Angels show at the Naval Base & had lunch at the Rib Shack afterward.

We celebrated Ellery's 4th Birthday & watched the Kentucky Wildcats in the Final Game of the Final Four. Unfortunately they lost. Can't win 'em all right?
