Simple Baby Shower
If you are like me you love a good party, you love friends, you love food and you LOVE babies! If you are also like me you are often short on time. Yes, I like to try and CRAM too much into my days. But just because I am a “wee” bit busy does not mean that when my sweet friend is pregnant with her 4th that we don’t throw her a party! I know, I know, 4th baby, you are probably thinking this girl does not need a shower, she has all the baby stuff she needs! And, mostly you would be right. Anyone having a baby that is not number one or even number two most likely has a lot of baby stuff. But..babies are special!!! A friend having a baby needs to be celebrated regardless of whether or not mom needs more baby stuff!
When you have a friend who doesn’t necessarily “need” a baby shower but you still want to celebrate with her, this simple baby shower idea is perfect. Having a baby is momentous and definitely deserves attention!! When this is the case our group of lady friends throws what we call a “Restaurant Shower”. This is how it goes:

Tips on Cutting Vegetables
I don’t know about you but I for one did not pay enough attention when I was younger and lived in my mom’s house and could have benefited from her vast stores of knowledge. I am sure there was a time she taught me (or tried to teach me) the best way to cut vegetables or grill meat, or make my bed, iron a shirt….the list really could probably go on forever! If you are anything like me you have had to teach yourself these things throughout your years living on your own, and yes…sometimes I do still call my mom for various household tips and advice.
These 2 tips on cutting vegetables are my favorite. Probably because I eat salads a lot and lettuce and tomato are staple ingredients to any salad I make.

{Not Your Mom’s} 7 Layer Dip
What it is about dip…..specifically 7 Layer Dip in this case? I love chips and dip, love, love, love them. THIS 7 layer dip is by far my favorite though. Just look at it, all those layers mixed together to create yummy goodness. Perhaps one of the reasons I adore this dip is because you can customize each bite. You just dip your chip in and you can choose what to scoop up! Imagine the possibilities! One bite could be beans and cheese, the next sour cream and tomatoes, then guacamole and black olives…each bite different and delicious. Yum, love the variety in each mouthful!
Why is THIS particular 7 layer dip my favorite you ask? Well… (drumroll please) it has some oh so special ingredients that you don’t find in other 7 layer dips.

Teacher Appreciation with Free Printable
I know that teacher appreciation week is over, but the end of the school year is fast approaching and I always like giving my girls’ teachers something really special to thank them for teaching my child all year long. This year we have been particularly lucky because not only did my girls get great teachers, but their teachers have loved them and taught them so much and taken special efforts to really make a difference in my kids lives. I love, love, love them for it and wanted to do something great to tell them how much their efforts have meant to me. The way to win this momma’s heart is to love her kids. These teachers this year have definitely won my heart! I want to thank them for wrapping my kids up with love and lots of learning.
This project is quick and easy… and with the free printable you can do it on the cheap. I came up with two different possibilities, one that cost me next to nothing, and one that I chose to be a little bit spendier on as I added a gift card. But how much you spend or don’t spend is totally up to you! Your imagination is the limit on this one!
