Pinspiration Wednesday {Crock Pot Meals}

Well back to school is in full swing over here~ 

We ALL understand the craziness of "after school"! 

It's extracurricular activities, homework, folders to check, outfits to pick out for the next day, books to read, dinner to eat, showers to take and finally bedtime~~ 

So that is why I LOVE my crockpot!~ If I can make one thing easier in the evenings I am ALL for it! 

Thankfully, my crew loves a "one pot meal" 

Today I am linking up with my best blogger buddies for Pinspiration Wednesday and today we are discussing Crock Pot Meals!! 

and all the moms said AMEN ;)

So join me along with the wonderful host- 

Justine, Leigh, and Erica~ 

We LOVE PF Chang's Lettuce wraps so I am hoping this Crock Pot recipe is good~ 

I think this would be great for a Sunday after church for a late lunch/early dinner!! 

When the weather gets cool- My gang loves soup! and it makes this momma happy because I can throw it in the crock pot in the morning and go about my day!! 

This Chicken Tortilla Soup looks AMAZING!! 

It's no secret that my family loves mexican food! So Taco Soup gets made on repeat in the Fall/Winter around here!! 

This recipe looks easy peasy! 

Has anyone tried "Freezer Meals"  I saw this

post on Pinterest! My sister has tried to talk me into it a few times, but I just haven't done it!! 

Have you? Did you like it? Was it worth the work?

I can't wait to see everyone's "pins" today!! 

xoxo, Heather 

and don't forget another great way to get more recipe ideas is to join myself and Johannah for our monthly recipe club! Our next link up is Wednesday, August 17th!

Pinspiration Wednesday {Summer Cookouts}

Hey Y'all!

Sorry I have been MIA this week! The crazy busy holiday weekend caught up with me and I was EXHAUSTED! 
I will recap our weekend tomorrow!! 

Today I am joining Leigh, Erica, and Justine 

When I think of Summer Recipes, I always think of the GRILL! Ben just recently bought the big green egg and it is amazing! Monday, we hosted a cookout and he smoked a Boston Butt! It was heavenly!

Today, I wanted to share a few Kabobs recipes that I found on Pinterest! 

Fajita Chicken Kabobs! 

We love anything Mexican food related around here! :)

Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs! 

These are making my mouth water and will most likely be on the big green egg this weekend! 

Low Country Boil Kabobs

We love a low country boil around here, so these look mouth watering!!

50 Kabob Recipes

I thought this would be pretty neat to have "pinned" to look back on! 

We LOVE Summer Grilling! 

I can't wait to see what you guys have "pinned"!

Hope you have a GREAT day!

Pinspiration Wednesday! {Summer Bucket List}

The first Wednesday of every month I link up with these FABULOUS Ladies for Pinspiration Wednesday!
Erica, Justine, and Leigh

Today we are sharing our Summer Bucket List~ 

So I asked the kids what they would like to do this Summer! 

Here is what they said:

Six Flags! 

 Well that works for me because they both earned free tickets through the reading program at School!! :)

Wild Adventures!

 It is in Valdosta, GA which is where Ben graduated from college, so we are planning a weekend to go visit his Alma Mater and Wild Adventures. 

It is a mini Six Flags and they also have a water park! 

We have VBS next week! 

On the days that we stay home to catch up on rest, cleaning, laundry, Etsy orders, etc 

 I plan on having these activities for the kids!!

IAN

Y'all know how much my Ian Michael LOVES Golf!!

ELLA

She could play school for HOURS! I found these AWESOME printable's for her to use!!

Ella can easily entertain herself!! She loves playing school, coloring, and playing with her American Girl dolls!! 

It's Ian that is EASILY Boredom and hates to be by himself! 

BOTH:

They both need to work on their Summer Reading List, so I found these ideas!!

We also have the Pottery Barn Kids bean bag chairs! Ben's mom bought them for the kids for Christmas one year! Well I think it is time we bust them out again and make a reading nook in the Living Room!! Anything to get them to read more!! 

I also saw these on Pinterest!!

and thought this would be a nice guide to follow some weeks!!

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time then you know our love for Ice Cream and My FAVORITE Ice cream Maker!!

I got this awesome machine online as one of the 12 days of Christmas daily deals from William Sonoma for around $40! 

I have used it a few times and the ice cream is so yummy!! Since it gets durn right HOT here in Georgia, we plan on making and eating LOTS of ice cream! I found these yummy recipes 

and this one...

Hope you guys have a great day and I can't wait to see what is on your Summer Bucket List! 

I LOVE sharing and getting new ideas from my #bloggerbesties

Pinspiration Wednesday

Hello Friends! How is your week treating you so far?

Today I am linking up with Justine, Leigh, and Erica

and today we are sharing how we are getting beach ready!

Last week, a couple of girlfriends and I started the Couch to 5K App (AGAIN)

Sweaty 5:45AM Selfie

We look pretty scary! But I swear we clean up nice:)

So I am needing a little more than just our 30 minute walk/jog!

So where did I turn

PINTEREST!!

For this post I am mainly staying on the fitness part to get beach ready!

I pretty much now what I should and shouldn't eat or drink...it's just doing it that is the difficult part;)

So here are a few of my "Pinspirations" for beach ready....

Here is a list of Daily Workouts that I could easily fit into my schedule

Oh Pinterest- 

I have such a love/hate relationship with you! 

Don't act like you don't look at everything you throw away and wonder if I could find a "pin" about that?!?!?! ;)

I mean seriously! Come on Pinterest you hold totally install this feature! HAHA

Well Today I am linking up with Erica, Justine, and Leigh for Pinspiration Wenesday

Because let's all admit it...we can't do ANYTHING without checking Pinterest first!!! 

Today we are sharing our favorite Easter/Spring decor or Easter recipes!

I am going to start with Easter Recipes:

I shared yesterday on my March Monthly Goals that I hope to make these yummy cupcakes!

I mean these just look so YUMMY! 

I think this would be a great appetizer! Plus, it is SUPER cute!

Come on....you know these is just adorable!

Easter/Spring decor that I would love to make

I love the framed verse.....These would be super easy to print and frame! Also, I think it could stay out year round! Not to mention that you can print it on any card stock to match your decor!

I just think these little frames with the birds nest is just to stinkin' cute!!! You could spray paint any old frames the color of your decor and destress. Hot glue the moss and eggs to the frames backing.....

These could stay out all Spring! 

I love this door hanger....

I have a similar hanging basket and carrots...so I will have to play around with this one! 

Not sure where I would hang it either!!

I hope to get these goodies made soon!!

 I can't wait to see your Easter/Spring Pinspiration!!!
