Friday is "fix it" day!

Since Maggie and I usually have Friday afternoons free, I have deemed them Friday fix-it day! I plan on each week having Maggie help me fix something special in the kitchen. Last week was our first week and we made...pesto!! We had so much fun and it turned out delicious, so much better than manufactured, in a jar pesto. Maggie was thrilled with the whole process from picking the basil to using the food processor! We used the Barefoot Contessa's recipe for pesto, which can be found here.

I think Ina Garten would approve!!

Things that make me happy...

I got to cut my first hydrangea blooms today! This makes me very happy...

Our Spring Break Trip to Disney...

Well, we couldn't make it a year without going to Disney and this time we stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. I highly recommend it!! We enjoyed lots of character meals and Maggie even rode Splash Mountain!! Precious Maggie even got her very first haircut on Main Street at the Magic Kingdom...seriously, amazing trip! One of my favorite trips ever!

I love Living Social Deals!

Maggie and I had a very rare, free day today! So we spent the morning spending some Living Social deals that I had. We hung out in the Augusta Road area for quite awhile, making stops at the Pink Bee, Roots, and the Palmetto Olive Oil Company. We got to taste some delicious olive oils and balsamic vinaigrettes. I think Maggie's favorite part was the free ice cream! We left with Tuscan Herb Infused Olive Oil, Lemon Infused Olive Oil, Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette, and Strawberry Vinaigrette. Everything was so delicious but we had to narrow it down to just a few and thanks to the Living Social deal I got our bottles for half off! Roots was an interesting store, one that I'm sure Papa would be right at home in, seeing as he has the green thumb in the family. They had two tiny dogs there that Maggie chased around the store and they even had a beautiful bird cage with numerous precious birds. We'll have to return with Papa and decide what to use our Living Social deal to purchase.

I'll post some pics of our purchases soon!

Tuesday

Almost every Tuesday Maggie and I eat lunch with Granny. We always have a great time! Here's a picture of them telling secrets :-)....

34 days....

Until we're back at Disney World!!

Back to Reality...

We're back home and back to reality. What a whirlwind weekend of fun we had! It's a little chilly at home, so I'm wishing we were still here...
