Two for Tuesday....YAY...a BRAND NEW item!

I'm just lovin' The Teaching Tribune's Weekly link-ups.

I especially love Two for Tuesday.

from all of you terrific TpT creators.  

Thank you!

Tried it Tuesday...Two for Tuesday

Did you know that out of all the linkys, I have been most loyal to 

Tried it Tuesday?

Do you think it's because I have some major love for Holly at 

Fourth Grade Flipper?

I think so!

Tried it Awesomeness #1: Updated Blog Design

So...what do you think about the new blog design?

I am in LOVE!

Erika at Honey Bunch Blog Design is a SAINT...I'm serious!

She is SO patient and truly takes her time creatin'

EXACTLY what you want.

I truly don't know how she does it, but I couldn't be

more ecstatic with what she has created.

I really wanted to try somethin' new and brighter for my space. 

She completely captured my personality while

still keeping some of my elements from my original

blog design, which I love.

If you are considerin' tryin' an update, head over to 

Erika and tell her Alison sent you!

You will love her!

Tried it Awesomeness #2: Hog's Breath Inn-Carmel, California

This wasn't a new experience for me.

In fact...I've eaten at Hog's Breath a TON!

The atmosphere cannot be beat.  

It's quaint and invitin'.  

You feel like you are in a little hidden world and want to stay

there forever...enjoyin' the surroundin's, the drinks, the food...

the whole shebang!

It is owned by our dear friends, Kaiser and Claudia.

They also own many restaurants that 

you should check out if you are in CA.

Kaiser Grille-Palm Springs

Chop House-Palm Springs

Jackalope Ranch-Indio

Grind Brgr Bar-Palm Springs

Kaiser Grille-Palm Desert

Here's what I had....Dirty Harry

(yes...after Clint Eastwood)

DIRTY HARRY

cut of prime sirloin, garlic mashed potatoes, asparagus,

mushrooms, whole grain mustard sauce 

It was sooooooo DEE-LICIOUS!

I'm so glad I tried this!

Y'all...I would've licked the plate if I wasn't 

with all these snazzy people!

My parents seriously have the best friends in the world.

They are so fun to be with!

Aren't they cute?

I also picked up another Hog's Breath Inn long-sleeved t-shirt.

It's a tradition for me.  

Tried it Awesomeness #3: Homemade Hummus

Who is absolutely crackin' up at all this time 

I have been spendin' in the kitchen?

Maybe it's because my mama has every appliance,

spice, ingredient, etc. known to mankind in her pantry?

Maybe it's because she has enough counter space for 

me to spread out?

Maybe it's because it's summer and I'm tryin' to expand 

my horizons?

Who knows, but eventually it will stop...right?

Please say, "Yes!"

I have made hummus before with the help of Jerm...okay...

quit yellin' at your computer...I'll tell the truth...

Jerm actually made it and I watched.

I thought I would be brave and try it on my own because I was cravin' it.

How hard could it be right?

I can open cans and dump in beans and garlic.  

I can sprinkle spices and drizzle olive oil, but 

I cannot...I repeat...CANNOT work a 

food processor without gettin' stuff EVERYWHERE.

There was probably more hummus on me than in the bowl.

You know what though?

I don't care.

It was GOOD!

I'm just gonna go ahead and link up again with Christy from

Teaching Tales Along the Yellow Brick Road for 

Eating, Drinking, Linking...Oh My! because well...

this post was dedicated to food again and I know Christy

will be proud I made food because she is awesome like that!

I'm also linkin' up with The Teaching Tribune for Two for Tuesday

where the idea is to put two products on sale for 50% off for Tuesday.

#1: Rockin' Behavior Beads

This is my most wishlisted item and very popular!

They are on sale for $2.

#2: Red, White, and Blue...my teachers says I have to mulitply by more than TWO!

Head over and check it out!

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Tried it Tuesday and Two for Tuesday...

Hello, Tuesday!

It's time for me to link up with my super sweet BBB Holly from

Fourth Grade Flipper for Tried it Tueday.

Today equals week one of my summer gone.

Why is it movin' so fast?

I am tryin' to take pictures every day to document 

my vacation with my family.

I am savin' them to my camera roll on my phone, so I can

print them out when I get home.  I'm backin' up often

since I've broken my thumb drive and dropped my phone

in a toilet the past two months.

So disgustin'!

Here are a few that I have shared on Instagram after

creatin' collages on Instacollage Pro.

I think I have shared this app before...it's free in the iTunes App store.

It's fun...kind of like me! 

First day in Cali...spendin' the day with my mama.

Not missin' the Florida humidity!

Day 2 hangin' with mama at Tehama while dad golfs.

Day 3 Cali...hangin' with dad at the vineyard...checkin' on the grapes.

You will find these grapes in bottles of Bogle, Cupcake or Mark West wines.

 Day 4 Cali...lunch date at some friends' house for Father's Day.

Day 4 Cali...continued.

Day 5 Cali...bein' lazy...all of us got new covers delivered for our 

iPad minis from Amazon Prime.  Watched some 

soccer and helped make dinner. 

I took advantage of Target havin' iPad minis on sale last week for $199

and got my mom one and my dad one.

I used my Red Card and it was $189 a piece.
