This weekend a lot got started. The fence has begun! Although yesterday was not the day to start it, we (Ben) did it anyways! Yesterday was so hot and just watching it being put up was making me sweat. Poor Ben! I decided to start taking recipes from magazines and actually make them instead of drooling over them. This is one of the recipes that I made yesterday and both Ben and I really enjoyed it! I'll add the recipe at the bottom, but that dang Real Simple was totally right it was real Simple.
My order from Shop Sweet Lulu came today. I ordered some of those fabulous paper striped straws in red and white to match my kitchen. Also I ordered 2 36" balloons to see if the colors will work for my wedding. Can't wait to have them blown up and see the actual size of them and if when the balloons are blown up the colors go a little bit better and look a little more neutral!
Recipe- Enjoy*
