Weekend Wind-Down Party #25 | Cookies and Milk

Hello Friends and Welcome to the Weekend Wind-Down Party!

I am definitely enjoying all of your posts with mouth-watering recipes, fabulous fashions, cool crafts and wise words of wisdom.  I am not a baker but some of you ladies have inspired me so I wanted to share some cookies that I made last week.

At Walmart I noticed a new line of cookie mix from Pillsbury and for only $1.00 so you know I had to try them out, and the frosting was only $1.48.

With only a few ingredients, these Orangesicle Cookies were absolutely delicious!

After the butter was room temperature soft, I mixed it with an egg and the cookie mix then rolled into balls.

Baked for the suggested time but then added a few minutes for them to darken.  After they cooled for 15 minutes, I frosted and sprinkled these delicious cookies – thank you Pillsbury!

A tall glass of milk or even a refreshing glass of summer tea (recipe) makes this a wonderful weekend treat!

Weekend Wind-Down Party | Week 23

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

Here we are again, at the end of another blessed week and knocking on the door to what should be a gorgeous weekend.  Hubby and I have a wedding to attend tomorrow and on Sunday we will be taking our son out to dinner to celebrate his 22nd Birthday.  His birthday was actually on Monday but if you read yesterday’s post you’d know that I was in Atlantic City so we didn’t get to celebrate.  He is also scheduled to have maxillofacial surgery on Monday morning, so please pray for a successful procedure.

Take a look at these guys, I saw them on the Boardwalk in AC and thought about how much this means to me in my daily life.

So many of you stopped by to add some fantastic posts at last week’s party and we truly appreciate you all.

Weekend Wind-Down Party #21 | Whirlwind Week

savings at cvs

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!!  This has been a whirlwind week and despite the dreary weather I am so happy that the weekend is right around the corner.  Several exciting events occurred this week and I’d like to share a few of them with you, the first was having another DIY article printed in @ParadeMagazine, (click here), Potpourri in a Jar ~ Flameless Fragrance.  The second was being featured by Whitney Nic James, (click here) on her blog as a May pick in her weekly Personal Style Linkup.

I have also been very busy doing product reviews and will be heading to AC (Atlantic City) for an overnight stay which was a Perk from Crowdtap, definitely looking forward to that one.  Tomorrow I’ll be driving back up to West Chester to attend the Radiant Orchard Summer Party hosted by Design+Life+Kids, so look for that recap on that next week.  Sunday I plan on taking hubby to breakfast and then lounging poolside, what are your weekend plans?

Now let’s get this party started with CONGRATULATIONS to our FEATURED BLOGGERS

Weekend Wind-Down Party #17 | Blogger’s Networking

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

The countdown is on, there are only two more weekends until the Memorial Day holiday which is the unofficial start to summer!!!!  Next week my “baby” graduates from High School and if you read yesterday’s post or follow me on FB/Twitter/Google+/Instagram or Pinterest you would have seen a picture of him holding his acceptance letter to Bowie State University – if not, here it is

BTW, I won’t be able to participate in next weekend’s party so please link up from one of the other host’s blogs.

Malik and his acceptance letter to Bowie

 

His father and I are so over-the-top excited for him, yet I can feel the separation anxiety creeping into my soul and my heart is beginning to hurt. Parents of college students understand exactly how I’m feeling…please pray for me!

Weekend Wind-Down Party | Bloggers Networking

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

I trust you all had a wonderful week and are now gearing up for a fun filled or relaxing weekend. It was definitely a busy week for me and the fam, Malik was on Spring break so he was able to shovel 2 yards of mulch into the backyard, needless to say, he wasn’t happy but it needed to be done. Saturday, I cleaned out the garage and replaced part of the gate around the pool injuring my arm in the process – hubby couldn’t help which made the job a bit more difficult but at least it’s done! Homeowners always remember, “you never own a house, the house owns you!”

Resurrection Sunday after Sunrise Service I came home and took a nap. Later in the day I did a little yard work only to get my first dose of poison oak clearing out the garden, don’t ask me how because it always seems to find me.  I read a blog post that stated banana peels are good to stop the itch so I tried it, it worked but only temporary, so if you have a better remedy please share.

If you follow me on Instagram you know that Easter dinner was wonderful, Turkey Ham with pineapples, collard greens, sweet potatoes and a No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert – yum!

Welcome back to the Weekend Wind-Down Party, I don’t know about you but I am having a great time – so many great posts – thank you!
