You're Gonna Love It PartyTime


Happy Memorial Day my friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend filled with time spent with loved ones.  I also hope you took a moment to remember what this day really is about and gave thanks that gave all so that we can remain safe and free.

Mr.B & I spent some time outside getting the furniture back up on the deck so that we can sit and watch the sunsets at night. We did fire up the BBQ and grilled up some carne asada steaks (droool!). 

Not the the unofficial start of summer is here, how about we throw a party so hot you'll need to head for the pool?!



It's Time For
The Features of the Week


Tammy from the Taylor-Made Homestead knocked it out of the park with her recipe for Slow Cooker Spicy Sticky Chicken!
Perfect for those upcoming days when it's too hot to turn on the oven or be outside at the BBQ!

For my pick of the week I ask you to head on over to Judy's blog, JBiggs Little Pieces!
Judy's flowers & blooms post took my breath away! And!  These are just in her FRONT GARDENS!  I die at the beauty of it all! Go!  NOW!


If you have been featured here, or over at my co-host Kim's blog, (she has a different Pick of the Week so go check it out...was it you?) make sure to grab an I've Been Featured button here.

Just a reminder: IF you follow me on Facebook you get first notice of this party going live each week. Plus, I share some pretty funny and awesome stuff on my page over there too (like my love for coffee)!

Now for this week's link-up! 

Here are the really easy party rules: 
Feel free to link up anything you have created (recipes, decor, crafts, written or photographed). Anything you are so proud of you just gotta share it with others.

You can follow Kathe and I on social media, but it is not required. (We want you to follow us because you want to, not because you have to.)

Time To Party! You're Gonna Love It!

Hello!  It's the beginning of a new week and time to party with me and my co-host, Kim!  I spent the past few days participating in our community garage sale, sold some and...well you know...bought some too. I also FINALLY got our small veggie garden planted.  This year I am just going with a few roma tomato plants, a few jalapenos and some New Mexico chilies.  Yes, the perfect salsa and rellano garden!  We also went looking for a couple of new trees.  The apple tree in back, dead since we moved in 3 years ago, was removed and we are considering a chokecherry tree to replace it.  We also need to replace a dead maple in front and I think we will stick with an Autumn Blaze Maple. Lots of fun Spring stuff going on around here for sure!  How about you?  Are you ready to show off the awesomeness you have been working on?  Well let's get to gettin'!


 It's Time For
The Features of the Week

Courtney of Courtney's Cookbook showed off the most yummy looking recipe I have seen in some time!
Her Savory Oats With Chickpeas in Peanut Sauce has to be the most innovative and tasty way to serve oats ever!  I love it and cannot wait to try it out!

My pick of the week takes us from savory and tasty to downright cute and yummy!
You have to go check out Debbie from One Little Project At A Time's Pretzel Ladybugs And Bumblebees. Seriously too cute to eat (but I will!)! Perfect for those summer parties coming up!
