Hi Darlings, I hope you guys are having a great week so far. I am sitting in my office writing this blog post and drinking a cup of coffee. I have always been a huge fan of Coffee-mate Creamer and all of the amazing flavors they have but my all-time favorite is the Coffee-mate Classic Vanilla Flavored Creamer. Yesterday I posted one of my favorite #TBT pics on my Instagram. This picture was taken on Thanksgiving Day with my son who loves being in the kitchen with me while I cook. He was helping me (more like just licking spoons) make my favorite cake frosting using Coffee-mate Classic Vanilla Flavored Creamer. I found this recipe online and was so excited because not only can you make it with the Classic Vanilla but you can use any of the flavors you love like Toll House® Chocolate Chip Cookie, or Caramel Macchiato. I started using use Coffee-mate Classic Vanilla flavored creamer in my daily cup (okay, okay…cups) of coffee on that same day and have not had a day since where I don’t enjoy it. I even buy it when I travel and keep it in my hotel room. It makes me feel like I am close to home and my family. My son is so big now and although he still loves helping me in the kitchen and licking the spoons of frosting I cant help but to look back at this picture and miss that little boy who is now a wonderful young man. It’s amazing how moments are often linked to foods or smells or sounds. My Perfect Classic Vanilla Frosting ½ cup room temperature butter Add a pinch of salt 3 ½ cups of powdered sugar ½ cup of Coffee-mate Classic Vanilla Flavored Creamer (or any Coffee-mate flavored creamers) Mix with electric mixer until light and fluffy, let sit for 20 minutes and mix by hand one last time. To add color simply use a bit of food coloring. *If too thick add a bit more flavored creamer and if too thin add a bit more sugar until you get the consistency you prefer. It is fast, easy and delicious! What is your favorite flavor? Disclosure: This is a sponsored post by NESTLE Coffee-mate.

Hi Darlings, Happy Monday 😉 I had the most amazing weekend with my girlfriend Tieko and her family up in Big Bear. I have been away from my family for a few weeks now working on the conference and so having this time to get away and spend it with a wonderful group of people really made me a little less homesick. I had never been to Big Bear Lake before so I was truly amazed at how gorgeous it is. I spent a lot of time taking pictures, lol. I need to grab them off my memory card so I can post and show you guys how lucky I was. Today’s #OOTD is an Old Navy Dress I got years ago. I love this dress because it is so comfy and flattering and most of all it has pockets…. we al love pockets right? I wish I could link to this dress but like I said it is several years old. I did however find some really cute Maxi Dresses currently on sale at Old Navy. Check those out HERE, HERE or HERE.

Hi Darlings, Happy Friday! I am getting ready to head to Big Bear for a relaxing weekend with my girlfriend before the madness of next weeks conference begins. I am so EXCITED!!! It is going to be a blast. I cant believe this is year four 😉 The skirt I am wearing is one of my DIY pencil skirts from THIS freebie TUTORIAL and the T-shirt was a gift. The wedges are so old! I got them at least 5 years ago from Steve Madden but since I don’t rotate shoes that often they have kept really well. I forget how cute they are until I wear them lol! Have an amazing weekend Darlings! xoxo SIMPLICITY / MICHAEL LEVINE / SULKY / STYLEARC / OLISO / FISKARS /CREATIVE BUG / SPOONFLOWER /ROBERT KAUFMAN / AURIFIL / THREADS / HANCOCK FABRICS #Easy #pencilskirt #tutorial #Freebie #DIY
