Winners Coming, Soon!


Somehow, the crud has gotten me.  It has taken hold of my sinus cavities like none other!  I promise to announce the winners ASAP!  I will tabulate each person's entries and announce a winner...soon!  Last week, my doctor hooked me up with some medicine and a couple of shots and we bought stock in Kleenex I've been through 2.5 boxes of Kleenex in less than a week!

All that to say, I will announce winners, promise!

Giveaway #3

Giveaway Now Closed 

My hot tea in the afternoon or morning coffee isn't quite complete without my Monogrammed Travel Mug.  I have to be honest, this is one of my favorite things that is somewhat dependent on the weather.  I tend to drink more hot beverages when it is cold and my go-to mug is, of course, my monogrammed mug.  I have a couple of inserts...blue floral with a green monogram and a brown floral with an orange monogram.  I'm a purist.  I like monograms.  I particuarly like the Empire monogram with my initials.  That is exactly what you'll find on my mug.

 If you don't have one of these, you need one. You'll be the coolest mom at dance or soccer practice and especially the coolest mom in the carpool line.  You'll be the hippest chick in class or on your way to work.  Your co-workers will look at you with envy.  That may be a bit extreme, but this mug is pretty rad. Yes.  "Rad".  To use a word from childhood...I am turning 32 tomorrow, you know.

If you haven't done so yet, you simply must enter the Navy & Apple Polka Dot Spa Wrap and Silver Floral Cosmetic Bag giveaways from Wednesday and Thursday.

If you need a refresher, here are all the deets about entering the giveaway:

-Leave a comment to be entered.
-All winners will be announced on Sunday.
-You can enter each giveaway, each day.

Have Y'all Tried This?

It is not secret I am not a morning person. It takes me quite some time to wake up and feel like all is right with the world. Part of my morning routine is coffee. I was elated to find out that Coffeemate brought out Peppermint Mocha Creamer permanently.  It made the morning coffee that much tastier knowing that I wasn't just enjoying this minty goodness for the holiday season.


This morning I'm thinking of straying from ole' faithful.  While perusing the December issue of Martha {"celebrating 20 years of holiday joy"} I came across an ad for this sweetness....


Have y'all tried it?  Is it good?  Is it worth leaving my Peppermint Mocha for a morning (or two)?  Coffeemate told me in their ad that it is "everything nice about the holidays".  Is it, chickadees?  What is your favorite part of your morning routine?

Serve It Up!

Since we moved back to the South I've started playing tennis again.  You remember my post about our big win (and the acquisition of the coveted bag tag).  I love these bags to sport my tag...specifically, I'm carrying the black floral backpack with an aqua monogram.



In addition to playing tennis we entertain.  All home matches are a chance to show up be hospitable to the other teams by serving them a fabulous meal.  One of my favorite court side dips is the Feta Black Bean dip served with Tostitos Scoops. 


Feta & Black Bean Dip
Serves 30 (This makes a TON of dip and can easily be reduced and still feed a small army) 
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
3 (15 ounce) cans Shoe Peg corn, drained and rinsed
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 (8 ounce) block feta cheese, crumbled

 
Whisk the sugar, vinegar and oil in a large bowl. Add the black beans, corn, scallions, cilantro and cheese and mix well. Chill until serving time. Serve with tortilla chips or corn chips.
