As you all know, I threw a 60’s party a couple of weeks ago and I went a little crazy on the psychedelic/groovy decor. I had a lot of paper chains, tons of peace signs, and a little war propaganda, but I really went overboard when it came to the flowers. I had always wanted a reason to go to the store and buy as many flowers as I could carry, so I figured this would be the best time to do so seeing as I was channeling my inner hippie.

Inspired Taste has come up with this homemade pumpkin spiced latte recipe, and I’m thinking it’s going to have to be on my to do list this season. Or y’all can try it out first and let me know how it goes!
But don’t worry, I still plan to eat as much watermelon and sit by the pool as many times as possible before it starts to cool off. Lucky for me it’s basically Summer all year long here in Texas!
I’m always looking for pieces to add to my closet that can transition over multiple seasons. The trick is finding colors and patterns that aren’t too specific to one season. Although most floral prints are only appropriate for the Spring time, I found a great one at Joann’s that included darker purples and greens that work really well with the earthy tones that the Fall is known for.

So, this month at work has been rough you guys. Exhausted, and even frustrated on some days, there are really only two ways to unwind: dessert or cocktails… or wine… or beer. Ok, I don’t discriminate on beverages. Continue reading “Margarita Cocktail Cookies Recipe”
