Let me just start by saying I am not a fashion icon, most days I dress like a child in sweat pants and hair in a pony tail. I am trying to get better about dressing myself like an adult and I have been having lots of fun buying new clothes. I am not loyal to one store at all, I am really all over the place when it comes to shopping. If I see something I like and it feels right and fits good, I take it home.

Here are a few items, that I have gotten recently.







Hope you got some idea of my new fashion sense, it really feels good to dress myself.

I am leaving for the beach to celebrate Spring Break with my kids and I will be putting these new

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! I went to the parade in Downtown Mooresville and this parade is only in it's second year but, it was filled with Irish Fun for the entire family.

Marching bands, floats, Acro Fitness kids, old cars and horses.









I think on St Patricks Day we all become a tad Irish and that's ok!

Hope you enjoy your day!!

 So our journey of Simple Tuesday continues. See the shades of the flowers on the cup cake below?

Pretty yes but, how is that done?

I was told by Anita Stack, Pastry manager and Queen cake decorater(this should be her title cause

she's  the bomb) of Tizzert's in Charlotte since 1995, just how to achieve this look.






When you fill your pastry bag with buttercream icing, you put one color on one side of the bag and

a contrasting color on the other side.

 Anita warned against using bright colors for cakes because the color can really stain your mouth.

She also showed me how much she loves decorating tip #67 as she uses it all the time.

I also learned how to make a pastry bag out of parchment paper, which really saves having

to wash the bags.



Thanks again to Tiz(Tizzerts) & Anita for teaching a very well informed buttercream class and

sharing all your tips.

Carolina Calling was the theme for this years 55th annual Southern Spring Show held in Charlotte. I always enjoy the Spring Show because here in the South it is still chilly outside when it is underway. But inside it is nice and warm and you can stroll gardens galore and really soak up what it means to have Carolina Calling, your name.

Recently a Publix store opened in my area. I went to check it out and see what all the "talk" was about. Well let me say the chatter was spot on and Publix over achieved in my book. During opening month they had lots of free samples and cooking demo's. The day I was in the store I tried lots of yummy products but, these Honey-Cheese Rolls stood out in my mind.

I popped a nice hot one in my mouth before I really knew what I was eating. As I glanced at the ingredients I was shocked but also kinda excited to see Mozzarella cheese and honey, what a strange combo, but also what a tasty treat.

Hope you enjoy these tasty rolls.
