Dunkin Donuts Coffee

Everyday I start my morning with Dunkin Donuts Coffee that I brew in my coffee maker.  I have tried many different coffees but I am 100% partial to Dunkin Coffee.  You can imagine my excitement when I was walking through a store and saw the Dunkin Donutes display of 3 flavored coffees.  I chose the Mocha Mint flavor and it is yummy!  They also have Pumpkin Spice and Vanilla Nut.  I would recommend them for both iced coffee and hot coffee.

ENJOY!

TOMS

I just got a pair of Red TOMS.  If you don't already own a pair of TOMS you should look into them.  Not only are they very comfortable but they serve a great cause.  For every pair you purchase they donate a pair of shoes to a child in need.  You can't beat that!




French Onion Soup

Today is a rainy and cool day here in North Carolina so it's the perfect day for soup.  I am making my favorite French Onion Soup today and it is smelling so good!

French Onion Soup Recipe

4 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Flour
6 Onions chopped
8 Cups Beef Broth
1 Cup White Wine
Swiss Cheese
French Bread

Melt butter in large saucepan and add flour.  Then slice up onion and drop them in pan and saute them over medium heat until lightly browned and softened.  Add beef broth and white wine, cover and let the soup simmer all day. 

When you are ready to serve the soup put it in soup crocks and then top with a chunk of french bread and top with sliced cheese.  Bake in oven on 350 until cheese is bubbly and brown.  Serve and enjoy! 

**I improvise this recipe to taste.  I usually add some garlic and salt and pepper as well.

Boys Diaper Cake

Last week I was busy working on fulfilling an order for a Diaper Cake for an expectant mom having a baby boy.  My customer was taking it as a baby shower gift and I wanted to share now that the gift has been given and was a huge hit.  These cakes are super easy to make but time consuming and you really need an extra set of hands to make it less difficult.

Pink Danskos

I am in love with PINK, really it's an obsession with the color.  It just makes me smile and feel girly.  I also love Dansko Clogs and so when I saw these beauties at Nordstrom I knew they had to be mine! 
What is your shoe of choice?  I would love to hear!



Yellow and Blue Treasury

Here is a fun Yellow and Blue Treasury on Etsy.  I am in ♥ with the Titanium Band with the Blue accents. 

Fun Friday Finds

Today, Friday Finds is about {WREATHS}.  I love a good wreath and think it has a way of transforming your space.  It is also so much fun to see unique wreaths.  I think just about anything can be made into a wreath, don't you?  I hate it when I don't have a wreath for my front door because it just looks so "naked". 
 I hope some of these will inspire you to create or at least decorate.
