Beergaritas . . .

Ok so I have a new favorite drink . . . They are SO GOOD.  It has two of my favorite beverages 1) being Jose Quervo and 2) beer!!! If you like these two drinks then this is a must try . . . Recipe goes something like this. Fill your blender 3/4 of the way full with ice, one frozen Minute Maide Limeade concentrate, one squeezed lime ( just the juice ) and as much tequila as you want. I think I used like 1/4 of a regual bottle of Jose Cuervo for my batch. ( I suck at recipes! ) Blend it. Rim your glass with salt. If your glasses won't hold a bottle of beer, you can just add the corona to the blender, otherwise just tip it into the glass at the end! Each batch makes about 4 beergaritas, depending on how big you want them! And you'll want them big . . .trust me! They're delicious. 

Here's how mine turned out . . . 

I don't have margarita glasses yet . . . they are on my shopping list . . . so I just had to use one of our drinking glasses so I wasn't able to tip the bottle of corona in my glass . . which is a total bummer because I think that just completes the look but if you do have a margarita glass your finished drink should look like this:

Enjoy and I would love to hear from anyone who has had them or that makes them . . .

Sibling Love . . .


I love you all so much . . . You are all my best friends and I wish I could spend every single day with you!! My best moments are when we're all together wether it's just laying around talking, drinking a few glasses  I mean one glass of wine of course. . . "Said not one of us EVER LOL"  or if its just us laughing uncontrollably. . . I know no matter what happens we will always be the best of friends and always be there for each other . . . HUGS AND KISSES!! MUAH MUAH

 Cheers to National Sibling Day!!

Easter Sunday . . .

I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend with their families :)  We woke up and Lillie with every negative part of her body she found her Easter bag. . . Luckily the Easter Bunny  had a winning moment and she loved her gifts :) :)


Swedish Fish, Soleil Razors, Iphone Cases, Bracelets, Shirts from Rue21, EOS lip balm, and Flip Flops

 . . . and then we were off early to head down to Farmington to have an Easter brunch with John's family. John's step mother Karen puts on this amazing spread every holiday. We had oven baked french toast. . vanilla bean scones. . fruit . . . cheesy potatoes . . chocolate  chip cheese cake and I'm sure I'm missing something but it was like heaven in my tummy! I got a little creative this year and dipped peeps into chocolate and then added some festive sprinkles and threw them on a stick . .  they turned out pretty darn good and the kids loved them and anything with chocolate and marshmallows . . . I'm down for!!



Then after eating my father in law puts on this easter egg hunt . . . I believe he had filled 300+ eggs with candy and money for the kids to find. It's fun watching John's little cousins do the hunt and I can't wait for one day for my little baby to run around his yard looking for those filled eggs . . . It excites me to know end thinking about holidays again with little ones . . .

I think it's safe to say this will be her last year participating int the egg hunt :( 

After spending the morning with them it's back in the car to come home to Lapeer to have dinner with my mom's side of the family. .  That's were I've gone my whole life for every single holiday.. We have a large family and everyone travels to come back to Lapeer to my grandmas house. My Uncle Doc is truly a wonderful cook and his holiday cooking is my favorite!! I look forward to every holiday to be surrounded with family and catch up with my cousins and aunts and uncles that I don't usually get to see unless its a holiday.. But since my grandma has passed away ( it has been 2 years yesterday) every holiday seems to be getting smaller and smaller. It's so sad to me see this happening but I know that we are all getting older and have our own little families. . I guess I've always thought that no matter what things would always be the same.

Lillie is getting older and the holidays seem to be just like any other day of the week.. "I have no idea where she gets this from because I'm the complete opposite" . . . I go way out and celebrate BIG for every holiday!! It hurts my heart and it saddens me to no end but I pray this is just a phase and that she understands the real meaning of holidays and will join in the magic with her momma of celebrating them :)

Easter Sunday 

" PS. I know I'm a little late with this post but I had to work yesterday so. . . here it is!"
