A few of my favorite things

I thought it would be fun to share a couple of my favorite small things around the house with y'all. I always love seeing different bloggers homes and favorite things so this is the start of mine. This months favorite things sort of has a theme. See if you can guess..

Jewelry tree that is currently in my bathroom.
It will be moved when I find a new piece of furniture for our room.
I love the nest.

This is a two for one deal.

Birdhouse and candle that reside in Kate's bathroom.

Three for one! Score!
Cross. Candle. Bird.
They are in my kitchen.

A stone carving with Isaiah 62:5, all about the Bridegroom

A sweet treasure found in Old Town Orange.
Oh, and another candle.
This is on my man's nightstand.

Delicious candle and delicious face I wake up to every morning.

This would be part of my nightstand :)

Fresh cut herbs...
Love the fresh smell they leave in the bathrooms.

My teeny tiny herb garden.
I am currently growing rosemary, lavender and tomatoes.
More coming this spring.

Ok, so I have a thing for birds.
Only the fake kind though. No bird lady here.
And candles, I'm a sucker for a good candle.

I'm going to leave you with a couple of my favorite pictures from the weekend thus far:

Lunch with Great Grandpa in Newport.
Those Ruby shakes weren't too shabby either!

We had a little monkey in the bed as we were doing our usual Sunday morning washing.

Make sure it's worth watching."

Goodie Girl Cookie Pop Tarts

Summer is in full swing and Kate and I have a super fun, easy and delicious breakfast or even dessert idea for you to make! First things first, go find some Goodie Girl Birthday Cake and Magical Animal cookies. They’re gluten free and to die for. You can make this recipe gluten free by replacing the All Purpose Flour with Gluten Free Flour. Or if you want to skip the homemade dough all together you can use pie crust in the refrigerated section at the grocery store!

The best iced coffee, ever.

When Chris and I went to Mexico this past winter we quickly become addicted to their blended espressos. I found myself craving them when we got home so I played around with a couple of instant espressos and ended up making the best iced coffee, ever.

What you’ll need. Medaglia D’oro instant espresso Water IceCoffee creamer of your choiceHeavy cream + caramel Trust me on the instant espresso. I tried them all. This is the best. I get it at Kroger. I’ve also heard Walmart carries it as well as trusty amazon.
Step one. Get your ingredients out.

I fill my glass up halfway with water and pour a capful of instant espresso in.

Mix it real good.

Time to cool it down.

Now comes the sweet part.

This next step is money. Lordy.

If you’re feeling really naughty you can add caramel sauce. Do it.

If you’ve been wanting the recipe for the BEST homemade caramel ever then you’re in luck. This is the recipe from my mother in law. It is life changing.

Ta-Da!
