memorial day shindig.

Can you believe that Memorial Day weekend is HERE?!? This year is flying by ... But I am oh-so-ready to WELCOME summer with open arms! 

We're having a cookout at the beach and I'm LOVING all these ideas for Memorial Day parties! 
{1}{2}{3}{4}{5}
What fun and easy decor ideas?! Perfect for casual parties with friends and family! 
{1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}
I love the idea of slider bars for a spin on the classic cookout! Everyone can make their own and with the burgers being so small you could even make several different kinds! And of course macaroni salad and potato salad are a MUST at any classic American cookout! And that avocado salad? well you know this gal loves all things avo! :) 

Do you have cookout plans this weekend?! Happy Saturday Y'all!

fiesta! fiesta!

So as I'm sure many of y'all know, 
Last weekend I celebrated my great grandfather's 102 birthday with a Mexican Fiesta themed party! 

Oh you need proof? 
Well, you got it. 




Happy Thursday Y'all!

wii party {and some food}

So we got a FABULOUS black wii for Christmas and have absolutely been LOVING it ... {such kids at heart!}



So tonight we decided it'd be TOO MUCH fun to have some friends over for a low-key dinner and wii partay! 

And I am excited MORE than you could imagine! I love very few things more than cooking and hosting parties ... {ok, the hubs & the pup definitely rank pretty high up also!}

So for tonight I was trying to think of things that would be filling, but also fingerfoody {def just made that word up}

Here's what's on the menu: 

{I also need to apologize in advance for my lack of recipes ... I very RARELY use them!}

~ sliders: BBQ-pulled chicken & hamburgers


~ sweet potato fries: totally cheating and using Alexia's frozen ones {which are OH.SO.GOOD}

~ deviled eggs: probably one of my all time favs

~ fixins' for the sliders: sweet pickles, slaw, cheese, chili, and then your usual condiment line-up

~ blondie cupcakes: hello, yummy goodness {recipe here}

~ magic hat variety pack: easy for everyone to find something they like



So what do you think? I'm excited! And it'll be easy so I won't spend my day slaving away and I won't have to worry about being stuck in the kitchen once everyone gets here! 

The game line-up {in no particular order}: 

~ Dance Dance Revolution ... and yes, we have the mat & all ... hysterical to watch! 
~ Big Game Hunter ... the boys LOVE it {and I may have tried my hand a time or 2 at shooting the big buck}
~ MarioCart ... harder than you would think, but awfully fun steering a TINY wheel! :) 

So that's what I'm doing on this GORGEOUS NC Saturday! What are YOU doing?
