Our Together Weekend guests are loving this sweet Our Together Weekend guests are loving this sweet & salty mix and they wanted me to share the recipe with their mamas (which I def will do!) but I figure all of you might enjoy it! 🥰 Here’s what you need: … 2 bars white baking chocolate … 1 Tbl coconut oil ... 1/2 tsp vanilla extract … 1 cup MnMs ... 1 cup mini marshmallows … 2 cups pretzels ... 1 cup cereal (we used Golden Grahams or CTC!) … 1 cup peanuts … colorful sprinkles Break your white chocolate into squares in a large bowl, add coconut oil, and heat in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment, until melted. Then mix in vanilla. Add pretzels, cereal, peanuts, marshmallows, one at a time, stirring between each until well coated. Add MnMs last so they don’t melt! Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread out the mixture. Top with sprinkles. Stick the cookie sheet in the fridge or freezer for 10-15 minutes to “set” everything, then take out, break apart, and put in a bowl for all to enjoy! 🤩 Seasonal sprinkles and MnMs make it extra fun around holidays! 🫶
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our nine year old baby girl!! We HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our nine year old baby girl!! We could not love this child any more!!!

Happy ninth, Lily Gal!! 💛🧡💗 You are SUNSHINE!!
Hello, February 🌷❤️ Hello, February 🌷❤️
Fun fact: this dress that I wore to a little galen Fun fact: this dress that I wore to a little galentines lunch today (more on that later) is actually backwards! 😆 I just like the v neck and tie of the “back” to be in the front, so I swapped it! Getting dressed in the morning is fun for me- I truly love it- and although I’m no style expert, I do firmly believe that YOU should wear the clothes. Don’t let them wear you! If you like the clothes better backwards, and you want to wear them backwards, do it, babe! 😘
Are you familiar with Levure? It’s a FABULOUS ne Are you familiar with Levure? It’s a FABULOUS new(ish) wine shop in Banner Hall that specializes in clean wines! The bottles they carry are unique and natural. Nothing added except for a little bit of sulfur at bottling. It’s basically farm-to-table for wines! And oh my goodness I’ve so enjoyed my experiences there! The shop itself is aesthetically beautiful and so well organized. They have different sections for each different type of wine, and I love their discovery wall! It’s an “if you like this, then we recommend these” sort of setup! And I love that most bottles are available at room temp and at service temp. This is perfect for when you’re headed straight to the gathering and need your wine pre-chilled! If you are interested in discovering some new clean wines, Levure is your place! (I might also add that they have several non alcoholic options, a section of Mississippi-made wines and liquors, cool bitters, and more!) Have you been by this lovely little shop?!
On that one night last week when winter cancelled On that one night last week when winter cancelled all of our plans, we celebrated with a candlelight dinner and dance party! We are all still loving our record player, most of us are still loving the Fleetwood Mac album (although it might be a tad over-played at this point 😆 — another one for us to wear out is OTW!), and I’m so glad Demps and Lil found this fun party light in the cabinet! Comment party and I can send you links to all of the aforementioned items to your DMs! 🥳 HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!
