Spilling The Beans

Ahhh taking a little blogging break was much needed for sure!

Well we are finally spilling the beans! Baby Kilgore is due early December! The month of May sure did turn out a lot differently than I thought it would. We were supposed to go to Venice, Italy (and Milan) and after finding out the news we decided not to go. I mean why go to Italy and not be able to drink wine? Okay, we had better reasons than that but still. The blogging break was much needed as I was so exhausted I could hardly lift my head off the pillow, let alone do other things. But there is no better birthday gift than now being so close to my second trimester! Whew!

When we were coming up with ideas on an announcement photo I thought it would be hilarious to use my Dad's canoe since the gondola ride down the canals of Venice will have to wait. So my sweet Dad helped us create this photo and eased my nervousness of flipping over in the water.

The icing on the cake is that throughout our many travels we've picked up baby items for when the time came. Once in Rome, we picked up these jackets. Little did we know at the time they would be a big part of our baby announcement.

So here is to my 29th year. I have a feeling it's going to be pretty good. Cheers (with my Ginger Ale, of course) I'm excited to finally be able to share the news with you!

Cottontail Cocktail

Happy Easter Weekend! Hopefully most of you got today off. With that being said, maybe Happy Hour can start a little sooner with this delicious weekend themed dessert and cocktail.  

Let's say you end up in the situation where you need to bring something to Easter dinner. I've got you covered. This super cute and easy dessert will be perfect. First make chocolate pudding in disposable cups if you're on the go or just don't want the clean up. Then add crushed Oreo's (use the chocolate filling ones, not what I used to give more of a dirt effect). To finish this off, using white chocolate with orange food coloring and dip some strawberries in it. Ta da! Make it the night before so that you can have a nice relaxing Eater morning.  

The Cottontail Martini

1.5 oz vanilla vodka

1.5 oz coconut rum

2 oz skim milk

1/2 oz cream of coconut

splash pineapple juice

Chopped coconut and marshmallow for garnish (my marshmallow is m.i.a.)

I used icing to rim the glass and rolled it in coconut. Put everything in the shaker with ice and strain into glass. Cut a small slice in marshmallow and add to glass. Now you're ready to hop right into the weekend. 

I hope all of you enjoy the holiday weekend!

Cheers!

Fancy Florals

It's no secret that spring and florals go hand and hand. Anyone thinking Miranda Priestly again? Anyway, groundbreaking or not I love a good floral print and this one does not disappoint! It truly does make you want to twirl.  

This week has felt like the longest week ever! Busy and long are never a good combination but it's a holiday weekend and I for one am so ready! Keeping this post short and sweet. You have to check out Everly Oak's spring collection. It's so girly and fun.  

One thing I wanted to touch on today is your signatures. Mine are the ever-so-classic Jackie O sunnies, huge pearls and red lips. Find yours and stick to them. Even if you aren't feeling your outfit your signatures can save the day!
