Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww sookie sookie nah lol
How about more randomness...lol
Let's start with memorial day stuff....
Tony and I cooked and had friends over...
It started to rain but that didn't stop the grilling...just grab an umbrealla :-)
The spread....
I love to cook y'all. Seriously. There was enough food for everyone to take home for a COUPLE of days and have lunch lol. We ate GOOD lol.
I got Jaelyn to snap a quick pic while I was putting the icing on...this cake was OFF THE CHAINS. Recipe to come soon lol. I gotta catch up with the old stuff first lol.
The chocolate cake wasn't so good, but it was my fault. I got distracted and let it cook too long. I will make this one again.
THe KEY to all this baking is to do it when people are coming over so you don't keep any of it lol. Oh, that's what I do lol.
Tyler ate EVERYBODY strawberries lol
No matter WHAT we eat at my house....the itis is coming lol
Once you hit the sofa....its OVER.
Tony and Aj cut grass...
Train up a child lol...
My herbs are looking SUPERB. I broke some off the other day. Can't wait to use them. I'm so proud!
GO ME! LOL
My lily is also doing wonderfully!
This is HUGE for me lol. I don't do green living stuff well! LOL
I found a new ironing board cover. Yes I know I can just make one, but I didn't wanna lol. Besides, this one was only 4 bucks lol.
Love my little pin cushion lol.
I picked up some really cute cotton knits to make the girls some elastic waist shorts. Gonna keep it simple. I let them pick what they wanted lol. THAT was funny!
Ok that is ALL for me! Y'all have a great Friday!
Stay safe!
Toodles!
Tyler is too cute with the strawberry! The pic with Aj and Tony is so awesome, what memories.
Have a great Friday!!

Fooling around with you, I'd be ROLLING in the door. That spread is RI-DI-CU-LOUS!!! Tony doesn't play when it comes to grilling. He is da bid-ness!
"Train up a child"- yes lawd, yes lawd. Put 'em to work, lol. When I was younger, I SWORE my momma had children so she wouldn't have to do housework. But now that I'm grown w/kids, well, er, um...lol!!!

Great food photos! You must love tempting all of us. It really works! LOL!
It's always good to have some good friends over and to break open the grill. I'm glad you all had fun. The "itis" is terrible! LOL!
Kid pictures are great. I can see the scrapbook pages now.

That is some spread ya'll had and it looks so good!!! I am hungry now. LOL!!!
Okay, Adrienne, I have been thinking about this for too long and now I need to be like Nike and JUST DO IT!!!! I NEED an herb garden as much as I cook. I couldn't
find fresh mint for my "z" (Tzatziki) sauce this weekend and ended up using dried mint, so this is my confirmation.
Oh, and love the cute pin cushion. I have a fascination with dress forms, call me crazy. I have a neat little collection of them.
Those are some cute girlie fabrics, too.
