Retro Repin #40

Hi Everyone!! So last week was an adventure for me. If you did not tune in last week. Last week was my birthday and my husband took me out of town to a nice restaurant and surprised me with a dinner with my folks. 

Here is me enjoying my free chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice-cream and fudge and carmel sauce poured over it. When the dessert was brought out it was shining bright with the candle. I have to give the restaurant two thumbs up for that. I was shocked.  Just looking at that dessert again, makes my mouth water.  Do I have yours watering? If I do...

Now on to the party!

The Retro Re-pin Party is a quick, weekly link party where you can share some of your older (or "retro") pinned blog posts and give them some new exposure while growing your Pinterest reach through re-pins.

Good Afternoon Everyone. It's that time again for some fun cookie sharing. This week was my birthday week. My family surprised me with a trip out of town to see my parents and to eat. I had a wonderful blessed birthday. For this weeks favorite pick I chose a desert that reminded me of this weeks past adventures.

My favorite from last week is from:
The Best of Long Island and Central Florida for their "Healthy Oatmeal Brownie Parfait


Does that brownie not look good? On my birthday I received a big brownie topped with vanilla ice cream with chocolate and caramel on top of that.

Retro Repin on my Birthday Edition

Hi Everyone! So sorry for the late party post. If you follow me on Instagram or my personal Facebook you would  already know. But just incase you don't, I will tell you. As soon as I got home from my 8:oo - 5:00 job my husband looked at me and said grab the baby extra clothes, diapers, make sure he has a clean diaper on and get in the car. He had a surprise for me on my birthday. I have told everyone he kidnapped me. I had no clue where we were going. Until we got on the interstate and then I only new what city we were going to. My wonderful husband drove south for 1 hr on a school and work night, just so I could go shopping and go out to eat with my parents for my birthday. I am so blessed to have a thoughtful husband. On that note, I am sorry to announce that I did not do a feature this week. Seeing that is 11:30pm and I have to be up in 5hrs. I love everyones posts and I have a hard time picking a favorite every week. I promise I will pick 3 for next week.

The Retro Re-pin Party

An Easter Get Together


I love Easter time. All of the different bright colors, everything in bloom. There is no better day then to host a get together after Sunday morning worship sevice. We decided on having a cookout that included an egg hunt. Did you know that it is very hetic to host a party right after morning worship service? You basically have to have all the decorations in place and all the food ready to go before you leave your house that morning. 
Here is some of my favorite decorations from the get together. They are simple but it brought that Easter feel to the table. Sometimes simple is the best way to go. 
Silverware carrots

These are so simple to do. Just buy orange napkins, green plasticware, and green pipe cleaners. Roll them up and tie with a pipe cleaner. Yes, it is that simple. Then you just place them in a cute dark brown basket. 

I picked up this cute banner at Target. To make it more colorful I threw in some party poms in the hutch. 
I also hung three of those cute party poms over the food table. I prayed that one would not fall into the food. They survived through the entire party. The great thing about these party poms is that they are reusable, if you have a place to store them. These cute ones hanging up, are working their second party. 

The food was simple hotdogs, chili, hambugers, chips, potato salad, and baked beans. 

        Two items that were a big hit:

                  Deviled Egg Chicks
                              and
                  Carrot Veggie Tray
                

Here is the view of the food table. The hamburgers, chili, and dogs were on the counter. Check out the bunnies I picked up at Target, aren't they cute? 

The dessert table was not fancy. I did buy some cute cupcakes and placed them on a stand, with the rest of the desserts that the guests brought.
I tried to make some Jello eggs and that turned out to be a big mess. I will have to share with you, later about my Pinterest Jello flop.

Outside there was simple decorations also. I loved the sign that was at the stairs of the deck.  

I made this cute chalk board sign that was used as the start line for the egg hunt. I tied blue streamer paper around it and a big flower pot at the other end and had the kids run thru it. 

Over all the party was a big hit! We had a blessed Easter. I hope  your day was blessed also. Always remember the true reason for Easter.
