Happy Earth Day!! I am really going to try this year to be consistent with my going green efforts. I am still not great with remembering to bring my own bags when I grocery shop. I always feel guilty when the person in line in front of me pulls out their decorative reusable shopping bags. To help me turn over this new leaf and you too here are some very fashionable ideas for your own reusable shopping bags. We can start saving the environment together, in style!!!
I have been following blogger “Call Me Ang” for some time now. She is a thirty something Lifestyle blogger with a great eye for home decor and fashion. She is has a golden doodle and any dog lover is OK in my book. Recently Ang posted an awesome recipe for chicken n’ dumplings. I tried it last week and my 3 food critics LOVED it. You have to try it. You will not be disappointed!!! HERE is a link to her blog!! Its great!!!
Ingredients:
–Shredded Rotisserie Chicken (you can boil your own chicken but a store bought bird makes it quick and easy – I also only use the white meat)
–Two Boxes of 32 ounce Chicken Broth
–One Family Size Cream of Chicken Soup
–One Can of Water
–Two Cans of Homestyle Grand Biscuits (other biscuits will not work, quarter each biscuit
–One Table Spoon of Butter (optional)
–Pepper (to taste)
–Two Boxes of 32 ounce Chicken Broth
–One Family Size Cream of Chicken Soup
–One Can of Water
–Two Cans of Homestyle Grand Biscuits (other biscuits will not work, quarter each biscuit
–One Table Spoon of Butter (optional)
–Pepper (to taste)
In a 9 quart French/Dutch oven (or the largest pot you own – this requires a BIG pot) combine: chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, can of water, shredded chicken and table spoon of butter. Bring contents to a boil. Add biscuits to mixture. It is important to add each piece individually. Place lid on pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
DO NOT OPEN THE LID AND STIR….this is very important to remember.
Note: You can add any vegetables that your family likes. Ang just likes to keep it simple!!!
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. I think everyday should be Mothers Day but since we only get one day out of 365, I thought I would select some gifts that you might like to see on your special day. Of course I think you all deserve every single one but maybe you could narrow it down to one or two!!!
This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is YOU!!, my incredible readers. I am so appreciative of all your positive comments and words of praise. You have inspired so many posts with your suggestions and inquires and passions.

I have decided to hold blog sales, periodically to bring high style to my readers at prices that fit all budgets. I am so excited to introduce todays first sale.

Yesterday my daughters and I attended a tea party. It was so special. A tea is such an elegant yet simple way to entertain. I have been dying to host a tea for a while now. Why not get your best ladies together an invite them over for a Mother’s Day tea? Pull out your best silver pieces (silver plate!!) and china. Serve finger sandwiches and petite desserts. Its actually quite simple for such a lovely unforgetable afternoon. Here are some ideas I have pulled together for you! Pinkys up readers and Enjoy!!!!
Flare jeans are back!! I love the look of a jean with a flared bottom. They are so flattering on all body types. A flare leg dresses up an outfit and makes the jeans look less casual, more finished and sophisticated. They look great with heels, wedges, ballet flats and pointed flats. Here are some fantastic flare jeans looks!
