Oh, For The Love Of All Things Sweet!!! Kim Schussler Art

I Love the Art of Kim Schuessler. She was born and lives in the South (Atlanta.) I REALLY want to own one of her pieces. Maybe one day....

Lovely Lila, Our Maltipoo ~ We love her!!



I took these photos of my sister in laws home the other day. She has such an eye for detail. Her home is ever changing, which I love because I get first pick of her cast-offs.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Being a mother is a blessing and a gift for which I am eternally grateful. I am not even close to perfect but I try my very best in every way to be an example of the kind of mother Christ wants me to be. Being a mom is without a doubt the toughest job I have ever had. But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Here's to all the "Super Moms."

Ready for Summa!

Love this cut for summer!

When I think of summer, I always think of Lilly Pulitzer~ how can I not?! I have a trip to the beach planned  with my group of girlfriends this summer~ yay me! I have never taken such a trip for more than one night. I can't wait to sit on the beach, stay up late, eat great food and SHOP!!!

We are going to my family's beach house near Charleston, SC. Whoo Hoo... I am so blessed to have a free place to stay (more shopping money, right.)

Now, if I could lose weight before I go...

Have a great Monday, y'all!

Sweet Tea~

English Royalty Chocolate Chip Scones

allrecipes.com

Well, I found the perfect scone recipe to celebrate tomorrow's royal nuptials. These scones will surely  be delicious! Here's the recipe in case you want to make your own.

English Royalty Chocolate Chip Scones

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
5 tbsp. unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
3 tbsp. orange juice

1. Preheat oven 400 degrees. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. With a pastry blender or a large fork, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chocolate chips. Mix in the orange juice to form a dough.
3. Turn out the dough on a floured surface. Pat or roll into a 9 inch circle about 1/2 inch thick. With a 2 1/2 inch fluted biscuit cutter, cut out 12 scones, pushing the dough scraps together for the last few, if necessary. Transfer scones to baking sheet.
4. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Move to wire racks to cool.
