Recipe: Skillet Strawberry Cobbler
Tyler and I are going to have to make this soon. Every time we go camping, he always wants to bring his dutch oven so cobblers can be made and gobbled up all at one time. He is a huge fan and I find that you can never go wrong with strawberries. How Sweet It Is posted this beautiful looking dessert and I can’t wait to try it for the 4th of July!

I haven’t worn a backpack since my jr. year of high school and really never was interested in wearing one ever again, but this is adorable. It is perfect for world traveling or for carrying your work stuff and lap top to the local coffee shop. I am retracting my backpack hatred.

Breakfast bars have become such a cute and popular idea for parties these days! A friend of mine from work has become a rather large stress case because of amount of family she will be hosting for the forth of July.

DIY: Cupcake Grill
This Father’s Day, I had the pleasure of spending the day in Ohio at a picnic with Ty’s family. His mom got me the What’s New Cupcake? cookbook for a birthday present and it was a perfect opportunity to try out some of hilariously fun recipes. The morning of the picnic, all of the kids (Ty, his brothers, myself, and another girlfriend) all helped out in making the grilling...

Travel: Ohio

My trip included spending time on his brothers farm, riding 4 wheelers, driving tractors, driving through mini marts, shooting guns, spending time at his mom’s, enjoying his cousin’s wedding, eating at ohio wineries on lake...

DIY: Summer Bucket List
I truly find this idea to be amazing! Since our summer here in the States is almost done, I am going to start this bucket list for Ty and I next season.. Although I’m sure he’ll just roll his eyes at me (he usually does). It would be fun to incorporate the whole family with it too (just as Delia Creates does), or maybe your college roommates. I already know that “order a meal in...

Party Planning: Camp Out Kids Night
Such a cute idea brought to you by workmanfamily.com! She planned this around a “Camp Rock” movie night, but I would loved this idea as just a kids “camp out” sleepover. Filling the martini glasses with white chocolate hot cocoa would make for some serious happy kids and adults (namely me) in my family. Also the cake is adorable!

DIY: Wine Tasting Game
This past weekend, one of the events for Tyler’s Birthday Weekend was a blind wine tasting with all of his friends. After visiting a few wineries in the Santa Ynez area, we decided to test our knowledge and guess what types of wines we were drinking. All you need in order to do the same is: 5 wines (or how ever many you would like), paper bags to cover the wines, rubber bands to close the...
