I have SO much to catch you guys up on this week... last week was CRAZY... but also very fun. Last Sunday, Evan and I woke up to a broken air conditioner (for the second time in a week and the third time this year). We ended up having to purchase a new unit and the company that installed it was SO busy in this hot Arkansas weather that they couldn't get to us until Wednesday. So, once again, we had to live with my parents... for four days!! The crazy (and fun) part was that we weren't their only guests for the week. They were also keeping these precious kiddos while their friends (the kids' parents) were on an anniversary trip.

I have several kid friendly recipes that I will be sharing this week that we made for Lucy and Brandon last week... so get excited about those! :)
Then, last Thursday, I packed up again and headed to Hot Springs, AR, for the wedding weekend of one of my best friends. On Thursday night we had a lingerie shower/bachelorette party for her so I will also be sharing those pictures this week and maybe a few recipes too!! :)
And because I am too tired to actually blog about any of the things that I just told you about, here's a delicious salsa recipe that I made during our first extended stay at my parents' house (when we cooked through the July issue of Southern Living magazine, remember?)... haha bless their hearts! I am sure they are glad to have their house back! :)
