Welcome Friends! I am so excited to share a new segment on CCG called “Friday Q&A”. Often, I receive numerous messages and emails asking me various questions (which I LOVE btw). Questions range from what my favorite eye cream currently is to even questions on the status of my recovery. What better way to answer these things but on my blog, right?! Every week, I will ask for questions on my Instagram Stories and who knows, maybe one of your questions will get answered here! Don’t follow me on Instagram? You can click the link here to add me. So read on to see what questions I answer today on Friday Q&A!
Quick little post today on CCG and it’s all about my best buys for January! Did you shop any of those post Christmas sales? I sure did. So read on to see which buys made my list for January.
I am a huge fan of wearing white all year round. It’s crisp, it’s fresh and it’s clean. Whether it’s a pair of white pants or a fabulous button down, I love mixing my white and ivory pieces into my daily looks regularly. So today on CCG, I’m writing about my favorite Winter whites to wear right now.
So, yeah……2019 is here guys! It feels so weird writing that. The last year, for me, has flown by. One thing I have thought about when reflecting on the last year is I want to start making healthier choices and all around just become healthier in general. Today on CCG, I wanted to discuss 5 ways to get healthy in 2019 which are on the top on my list this year!

This past weekend it snowed here in the foothills and now today it’s going to be 80…. Today will be spent gardening. I’ve noticed that when I’m in the yard planting flowers in my flower box and spend time out there, it really makes me happy and relaxes me. What’s something you do that makes you happy?
SAVE AND SHARE THIS TIP! Want your fresh #hydrangeas to last longer? I have the perfect tip for you! You can repeat this tip multiple times on the same bouquet to get maximum use out of your fresh blooms! Simply, cut a small portion off the bottom of the stem, dip in ALUM (found in the spice section of the grocery store) and stick in cold water. I promise you, this trick works. If you are a hydrangea nut like me, and hate spending so much on flowers, then try this out and let me know! #hydrangea #homehack #hydrangealove

SAVE AND SHARE THIS RECIPE! This festive #stpatricksday recipe is the perfect lunch/snack for everyone! Being the Irish gal that I am, I like to make fun recipes for the kids and this one is s favorite.
•puff pastry sheets
•corned beef (or you can use pastrami)
•Dijon mustard
•Swiss cheese
•clover cookie cutter
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Use your cookie cutter on the puff pastry. Add Dijon mustard, corned beef and Swiss cheese to half the clovers. Put the remaining puff pastry on top. Use a fork to put down the sides and seal the puff pastry. Then, brush egg wash over them. These will bake for approximately 20 min. Trust me…..these are super easy to make and soooo yummy! #puffpastry

SAVE AND SHARE MY MOST VIEWED RECIPE ! This is one of my favorite and most watched recipes and for good reason! My Ham and Cheese Croissant Bake is SOOOO easy to make and perfect for brunch! This can also be frozen and eaten later! Don’t take my word for it….make it and let me know how fast it was devoured.
•4 large croissants
•12-16 oz of cubed ham
•6 oz of shredded gruyere cheese
•6 oz of shredded cheddar cheese
•1/2 cup chopped chives
•6 eggs
•1 cup half and half
•1 tsp. honey
•1 tsp. Dijon mustard
•salt and pepper
Preheat your oven to 375. In a baking dish (spray with non stick spray) add in croissants, ham, cheese and chives. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, honey, mustard and salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the bake and press down with a fork.

Gosh, I love tulip season. They’re in every vase right now 💐
Here’s to hoping this week is a less chaotic week than last 🙈 #mondaymood
Been a little MIA the last couple weeks. It’s been jam packed with root canals, kids with pneumonia and double ear infections 😑. Spent yesterday at the Drs and then hospital for chest x-rays. In between that, Neil and I got away for a weekend to Las Vegas (my first time) and it was so fun and MUCH needed. I also loved that Neil planned it all this time (usually it’s me). He had shows and restaurant reservations all taken care of. It was a nice treat! Now, I’m dealing with getting all the germs out of this house and cleaning from top to bottom. I started with our room first, love when it’s clean and pretty 🤣 #mainbedroom #primarybedroom #masterbedroom #blueandwhiteforever
