{birthday desserts}

July 27, 2012 By meredith 4 Comments

Since we had most of the food and drinks down at our neighborhood pool for the beginning of the party, I decided to keep the desserts at our house (and more importantly in the a/c).  I served homemade cupcakes and homemade firecracker cookies (see links for both recipes below).  We also had fresh red, white, and blue fruit (that went really fast), red, white, and blue taffy, and … [Read more...]

April 30, 2012 By meredith 72 Comments

Let me just start by saying that this might be my most favorite project I've done since starting {Wait Til Your Father Gets Home}.  Since we moved into our house, my husband has made it his mission to completely yank out everything from our yard (front, back, sides, the whole-she-bang).  The yard we acquired was, to be blunt......a hot mess.  We pretty much have a blank canvas to work with now … [Read more...]
