On Summer Time {JORD Wood Watch Review and Another Giveaway!!}

Not sure about you, but lately I've be on summer time.... moving at a much slower pace and taking in every moment. Summer time flies by and with each passing moment we want to make the most out of them and cherish each while we can!

Today I'm here with a review on my JORD wood watch! I am on my second and I can honestly tell you that I am hooked! I went with a more simply stated style that literally goes with anything. The Fieldcrest Zebrawood & Maple watch is the perfect summer accent and it is so light weight I barely know I'm even wearing a watch! Is so versatile it can be dressed up or down! The natural elements of this watch are so stunning and unique and I am so pleased with the quality and craftsmanship. 

I'm telling you this watch is stunning!!

You can find more of my favorite styles here and here!! There are so many amazing men & women styles to choose from, I'm telling you it will be hard to pick just one favorite!

And for those of you who missed the first giveaway from JORD, you have another chance of winning a $75 e-gift card toward any JORD wood watch of your choice and all who enter (excluding the winner) will get a $20 e-gift code just for entering!! I mean really, you can't loose either way!!

WINNER!!

Happy 4th!!! {Summer Home Tour}

Fourth of July weekend already?!?

Where does the time go? I feel like I am constantly asking that same question over and over, but seriously.... really? Where does it go???

So, a quick update for you. If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I have finally painted our living room and our kitchen cabinets!! Finally!! We actually took down a wall of cabinets in the kitchen to make room for our open shelving. We have been crazy busy with summer activities that I haven't had a chance to finish everything up, but I can assure you it will be done by Christmas I pray at least.... When I said our kitchen make-over would take some time I wasn't lyin'.

Since I've been neglecting to "blog" I decided to hook you all up with a fun little summer tour to celebrate the 4th of July.... I wouldn't really call it "neglect" either, I've just really been super busy! Does that count?? In any case, I hope you love this little tour and I promise as soon as I get my rear in gear, I will have the reveal of our newly updated kitchen as well as the updates to Gracie's big girl room!!

But for now sit back and relax and get ready for a ton of festive 4th of July photos and a teeny tiny bit more... If you look real close in some photos you can see a sneak peak of our white kitchen!! Makes me gitty just typing those words!! Ok, ok!! Enjoy friends!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Hope you all have a fabulous and safe

4th of July!!!!

What I Made {Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad}

Hi friends,  hope you all are enjoying this gorgeous Sunday....

 

 Despite all the forecasts calling for rain earlier in the week, yesterday

 

 turned out to be a perfectly lovely day for a 2nd birthday party!!

 

The water slide was a huge hit along with my Buffalo Chicken Pasta Salad!!

 

I can not tell you how many people asked me what it was and who made it!

 

This time I did not get the recipe off of Pinterest! Shocker, I know, and I'm

 

pretty sure no one believed me! What makes this pasta salad different is that

 

 I used actually "buffalo chicken"

 

 in this recipe! My family is addicted to the Tyson Buffalo Chicken Strips so

 

I thought it would be the perfect addition to this pasta salad, and boy was it

 

 ever!! I also used Frank's Red Hot Sauce, but not to much as I knew the

 

 kiddos would be eating this as well! This recipe is really very simple and

 

 great for large parties! To make it for a small gathering simply cut the

 

 recipe in half! It's that easy!

 

I guarantee it will be a hit at your next barbecue!!

 

Ingredients:

 

2 boxes Farfalle pasta

1 (25 oz) bag Tyson Buffalo Chicken Strips chopped

1/4-1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce

 4 - (9oz) bottles Ken's Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing

 1 cup chopped carrots

 1 cup diced celery

 1 large chopped red onion

Directions:

Pour 2 of the 9oz bottles of the Ken's Blue Cheese dressing and Frank's Red Hot sauce into a large mixing bowl.

Chop red onion, celery and carrots and add to bowl with dressing.

Prepare Tyson Buffalo Chicken Strips according to package directions and let cool completely. Once cooled, chop and add to bowl with dressing.

Gently mix all ingredients in bowl until combined. Set aside or in refrigerator to keep cool.

Prepare the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Place cooled pasta into a large serving bowl.

 Add the remaining ingredients to the serving bowl with pasta, along with the 2 remaining bottles of Ken's Blue Cheese Dressing. Mix well until all of the pasta is covered in dressing.

Chill in refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Mix thoroughly again before serving.

  Add more hot sauce if you like it really spicy and enjoy!!!

Very "Pinteresting" Tuesday!! {Vol. III}

Hi friends!!!

It's Tuesday and I have my top Pinterest picks for this week!!

Summer is in full swing and I have some really great summer inspired picks!! I've been pinning a lot of great party ideas for our son JJ's 2nd birthday this Saturday. I love using the secret boards on Pinterest for party planning and room designing. They come in really very handy, especially if your compiling a bunch of pins relating to a specific event, item or topic; that way your not blowing up your followers feed with a bunch of pins at one time! It's also great to keep things a surprise! You can always make the boards "un-secret" after your event or when you are ready to share!! I'm loving these picks! I hope you love them too!!
