Recently I drove Mema and one of her friends home from the mountains. A sign was made that read,
“Honk if you think Cougars are hot!”
As we rode down the interstate, we saw plenty of weird looks and even got a few honks.

Lettuce in the Dishwasher?
“Mema, why is there lettuce in the dishwasher?”
“Jill, over the years I’ve picked up a few tricks!”
The trick: wash your lettuce in the sink and let it dry out in the dish washer 🙂

Seared Scallop Success
My mom brought me some delicious scallops that she caught over the weekend. Thanks Mom!
I decided that it was time to venture into the seafood world with a seared scallop salad.
– avacado – apple
– pear – greens of your choice
– walnuts or almonds – edamame
– seared scallops
The scallops were super easy and fast. Just patted them dry and threw some salt and pepper on them and cooked them with a little olive oil.

How do you throw the most rockin’ three-year-old birthday party? Well, just see for yourself. My older and wiser stepsister Brandi is the #1 party planner.
My twin nephews Day & Ford just turned three and had an art party theme complete with a finger paint station, canvas painting station and coloring station. Not to mention, there was a professional face painter to paint the faces of the more than 20 + kids that came!
The paint cans hung on a wire and said “Day & Ford are 3.” Such a creative, fun idea.
Party Favors: keep pARTying!
Day & Ford are 3!

Feels So Close
Football Season… only 50 days away.

This is also Mema and I’s favorite season. I can already hear the warchant, feel the energy of Doak Campbell stadium and smell the mixture of delicious food and whiskey drinks.

Party in the USA
It’s almost the Fourth of July – hooray!
This weekend I had the privilege of wearing my party expert hat again—in Chicago.
I was excited for multiple reasons:
• Love America
• Like to chant USA loudly
• Got to meet new friends and see the city
Here are some of the photos and this time I actually have a video 🙂
Happy Fourth of July, folks! Hope everyone has a great Independence Day!
