{how to make a grazing board}

April 18, 2019 xoxostacybLeave a comment

The grazing board. AKA Charcuterie Platter. Incase you haven’t noticed, they’re kinda my thang. Today I’m sharing my Easter candy board along with two other boards I created. A Char-Kid-Erie Board and an Adult cheese board. But this Easter board just might be one of my faves so far. All the things kids love….which keep their grubby little fingers of the fancy cheese (which we all know they don’t even like anyway) lol!

Scroll down and I’ve shared each item that I used on this Easter Board. You can add to your Target order and pick-up within 1 hour. All the goodies (minus the platter + bunny bowl) rang in under $10.

{easter basket ideas}

April 16, 2019 xoxostacybLeave a comment

I LOVE Easter time. Well, I love all Holidays. We have so many fun Easter traditions, which makes this Holiday so fun. I always fill Bay’s basket with all the things summer time. New swimsuit. Beach towel. Goggles. Cute floatie. I pretty much follow what my parents did when I was a kid. Always a swimsuit and saltwater sandals. Oh and lots of candy. You can’t forget the candy! It’s like a Christmas stocking, but with summer stuff. All the fun little goodies.

I used to be able to post all my goodies here, but now I have a tween that likes to read my blog and look at all my photos. And since I want her to be somewhat surprised, I’m going to save her exact basket for Easter morning. I’m sharing all kinds of ideas. Some are in her basket this year. Some I’ve used in previous years. I even got extra and did a boy basket too!

I try to think of things she’s going to need as summer approaches and Spring break rolls around.

Friiiii-dayyyyy! I can’t even wipe the smile off my face today. Just happy AF it’s the weekend. Got up early, early this morning and cleaned the house from top to bottom. Even decorated for Spring a little too. I LOVE walking in Friday evening to a clean house. Makes starting the weekend extra sweet! You guys, we have hardly any plans….AGAIN! I’m sleeping in tomorrow, that’s #1 on my list. I’d love to work on the patio, if Mother Nature cooperates. Hope you have a good one!

BIG thank you to everyone who entered the {succulent wreath giveaway} If you haven’t entered….you’ve still got time!

The winner will be announced tomorrow!

{friday 5}

March 8, 2019 xoxostacyb1 Comment

Friiiidaaayyyyy! 11 days left till SPRING! (I just googled it) Goodbye Winter. Gimme all the sunshine. I woke up early AF, like always. I made the decision to skip the gym and clean my house for 2 hours. And I feel really fucking happy about that decision. There’s something to be said about starting your day with a workout, trust me, I get it. But, leaving for work on a Friday morning with a clean AF house. It’s pretty close up there too. I did a little shimmy as I walked out the door. Ha!

Weekend plans: zip. zlich. nada. Which makes me slightly anxious. Being sober and all. What will I do all day? Anyway, have a great weekend! Do all the things. Have a drink or two for me, k?

Before you get your weekend started, I’ve got 5 things on my mind…….

{mug gift ideas}

December 4, 2018 xoxostacyb2 Comments

I’m all about the mug life. It’s the perfect incognito beverage vessel. Is it wine? Or is it coffee? You’ll never really know what I’m sippin on.

And these pretty initial mugs from Anthro are perfect for your instagram game too…Ha!

I’m sharing 3 fun + easy + inexpensive ways to gift a mug to your homegirl + kids teachers + hostess + hairdresser or anyone really.

If you keep scrolling, I’ve also added some of my top mug picks too. Mugs are so damn cute these days, it was hard to just pick a couple so I shared a shit-ton.

Hi and Happy Friday! Raise your hand if you’re as happy as I am for FRIDAY! I have been so inspired lately, it’s the best feeling. Only problem – not enough time in the day to make it all happen. I went to TJ’s and grabbed all the goodies to work on a fun Thanksgiving DIY to share next week. Although, my heart + mind are 100% on Christmas. Since I’m hosting turkey day, I have to slow my roll….for a minute. Would it be weird to eat turkey with a Christmas tree in the living room? Ha! Just kidding. I’ll wait till the day after! Weekend plans: sleep-in (if only till past 5am) watch my nephew play in his championship football game #gobenny! Take our Christmas card picture (they’re normally already ordered by now…who am I) Check out the Pixie Traders Vintage Market…more on that below! And dinner with friends.

Have a good one friends!

5 things on my mind……

FRIDAY sweatshirt

ONE – FRIDAY // When you find your second favorite F-word on a sweatshirt. You buy that fucker. I went to J.Crew Factory earlier this week and it fell in my shopping bag. So, I had to take it home. It’s $30 today with code: 2DAYSONLY! Grab one and let’s be Friday twins Ha! I also found a shit-ton of other really cute tops + sweaters + vests too. I’ll be sharing once I get them all linked up for you!

TWO – Egg White Frittata // It’s easy. It’s clean. It’s delicious. This was my go-to breakfast this week on my sugar cleanse. It re-heats so well too. Top with some hot sauce + avocado. BOMB! Serve over roast sweet potatoes…even bomb-er. Try it over the weekend, okay?!?!

Egg White Frittata

Servings: 2
Time: 10 mins
Difficulty: easy
Print

Here’s what you’ll need:

3 mushrooms, sliced
handful fresh spinach
1 cup egg beaters (or egg whites)
everything but the bagel seasoning
parmesan cheese
hot sauce

Here’s what you do:

Preheat oven to boil.

Spray your frying pan with non-stick spray. Avocado oil is my jam right now, but any will do the trick.

Add mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes, flip half way through.

Add spinach and cook till wilted.

Whisk egg beaters or whites till frothy and sprinkle with everything but the bagel seasoning. Pour over veggies. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Don’t touch the eggs. Even though you want to. Once they start to look set, gently run a spatula around the rim.

Transfer frying pan to oven and boil for 2-3 minutes.

Once eggs are puffed, they are DONE!

Remove and add more parmesan….you can NEVER have too much cheese 🙂

Cut frittata into 4 wedges. Top with hot sauce. Add some avocado if you’re feeling fancy.

Enjoy!

{pumpkin donut holes}

October 19, 2018October 19, 2018 xoxostacyb2 Comments

Fri-YAY! Hallelujah! It’s been a week. Sorry for the lack of posting here. I had the best intentions, but just couldn’t make it happen. No Friday 5 today. I couldn’t think of 5 things if you paid me. So let’s switch it up…..Since I did promise these pumpkin donut holes.

And tomorrow is Saturday, which would be the perfect time to whip up a batch of these bad boys.

Also, FYI – Anthropologie is having a good sale. So, I linked some fun + really pretty coffee mugs at the end of this post. Scroll down and check it out. I’ve also linked them in my Instagram bio for easy access.

Crazy easy recipe. Baked, not fried. Pumpkiny….tis the season, right?

You do need a mini muffin pan. I picked one up at Walmart for $6.

WARNING: they are so dangerous, so make sure you make them when your peeps are awake. I made the mistake of making a batch last weekend. When I was alone. BAD idea.

Remember you can pin it. Print it. Tag me. Message me. I love to hear what you think ❤️
