Posts Tagged ‘Weekend Wind-Down Party’
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

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
By the time you read this post I will be hanging with hubby and his co-workers celebrating his retirement at a party!! Don’t worry, I’ll check back in on our party tomorrow night. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are gearing up for what should be a fantastic first weekend in June ~ can you believe it, where did May go?
Tomorrow I had plans to set up a table at the Dutch Country Farmer’s Market but decided to sleep in which is more important for my overall well being. I’ll set up next month.

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.
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!

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!

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
Today’s Friday Foodie Feature is dedicated to
MY BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE, KAREN!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!
In the late 80’s, my hubby who at the time was my fiance and I went to Fort Lee, NJ, to visit her at her mother’s house. She had just flown in from Cali with her first born son, RJ and for lunch she made a Taco Salad. Neither one of us had ever had it and it was also the first time I had ever eaten an avocado. I fell in love with the recipe and over the years, have made it during the warmer months. Last week when I chose to make it for this week’s feature I didn’t realize that it would be on her Birthday! Further proof that we were meant to be friends for life!
This is such an easy-to-prepare salad and my men simply loves it, Malik was having a fit because he had to wait until I took the pictures!
Ingredients:
-
1 lb Ground Turkey – fully cooked
-
1 package Taco Seasoning
-
1 Can of Black Beans
-
Iceberg Lettuce – shredded
-
1/2 Avocado – diced
-
1 Package of Cherry Tomatoes – halved
-
1 Cup of Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese
-
Catalina Dressing
-
Tortilla Chips
-
OPTIONS: Cilantro, Black Pepper, Hot Sauce, Sour Cream
Thoroughly cook the Ground Turkey then add Taco Seasoning and 1/3 cup of water – preparing according to package directions.
Wash veggies, cut tomatoes in half, shred the lettuce and dice the avocado. Drain and rinse can of black beans.
Put lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and black beans into a bowl and top with taco seasoned ground turkey.
Pour in just enough Catalina dressing to lightly coat then mix.
Serve with Tortilla Chips and top with options, sour cream and Hot Sauce.
Thank you Karen for introducing me to this salad and thank you for being my friend!
Don’t forget to come back at 6:00 p.m. for the #WWDParty!

Hello Friends and Happy Good Fri-Yay!
I trust you all had a wonderful week despite the fact that Tuesday was Tax Day. Unfortunately, we owe money to Uncle Sam so at 7:00 p.m. I was in line at the Post Office mailing in a payment. Oh well, it could be worse so I am not going to complain too loudly about it.
Saturday I went to Home Depot and purchased patio cushions for the deck furniture and a new Pressure Washer, something we desperately needed, stay tuned for an unsolicited product review. Oh and I finally received my “Blogger” license plate – I am super excited and proud to advertise my blog daily across two states.
This weekend the weather won’t be as nice, but we will be outside cleaning out the garage and shoveling mulch…thank goodness it’s not snow!

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
Welcome to the Weekend Wind-Down Party (#WWDParty)
I am definitely glad to see this week end because between hubby’s hospitalization and my stomach virus this has definitely been a heck of a week. I am glad for the weekend even though I need to start working on my 2013 income taxes, yes, I said, “start”. I don’t know where the time went but it snuck up on me too quickly this year.
I finally got a chance to check out everyone’s posts Tuesday night and needless to say, if my stomach wasn’t messed up, I would have been drooling over some of those decadent desserts!
