Check out their website between now and Memorial Day and receive a 20% discount on your order when you type in "chick"!  Click here to view their website and place an order!

You can personalize these dresses by choosing a fabric, ribbon color, and monogram or embroidery design.  What a cute idea!

Adorable shorts for the gals.

Pants, shorts and shortalls for the boys.   

Tuesday Food Day-Boiled Peanuts

via

This is an all time favorite for me.  Who doesn't love a boiled peanut with salty juices running down your mouth and hands?  I know there are some of you out there who are completely grossed out, but your not southern..it's ok.  

I can eat them piping hot or cold as ice.  Either way I like a cold beer or a diet coke with mine...something about the salty sweet taste.

Boiled Peanuts

pack as many green peanuts as you can in a pot of boiling water

go ahead and add 1/3 cup of salt to a packed pot

boil 2 1/2-3 hours and taste as you go...sometimes you need more salt

eat hot or cold

refrigerate after cooking

(Pawleys Island is the best place to be for consuming these if possible:))

I have to confess, I may have been a little over zealous heading into the Piggly Wiggly this afternoon buying 11 pounds of green peanuts and two Iodized salts.   Memorial Day weekend is encroaching and I HAVE to be prepared.  

What about you?  You dig em'?  Make your own or buy them already boiled?  

Canned anyone-never tried them, just curious???

I know it's been a while and all two of you who read this blog were wondering where I've been lately.  Well, I decided to take a T.O. from the blogging world and have been traveling with the fam the last couple of weeks.  

We're home.

A few things I have been up too:

1. beach with the fam

The boys with their "Machi."

Seriously?  

This is my attempt at a "brother" shot.  Story of my life.  Anyone else feel this way?
