Super Bowl Highlights

Some photographic highlights of our Super Bowl party ....

Super Bowl Party Part II: Home-Made Pretzels

The best part is that they were a huge hit (and yes, the tape measure in the first picture was there because we were measuring the length of the dough strips). Everyone loved them!!

Unfortunately, due in part to my son's illness and in part to my husband's over-enthusiasm, I was very stressed out during the party, and neglected to take any other pictures -- of our spread or of our guests. But, I'm happy to say that it was a huge success.

I love Target

I think pretty much everyone thinks Target is awesome. I've yet to come across someone who has said she hates it. I literally can spend hours in that place. So, mom and I went yesterday, and spent -- you guessed it -- more than an hour! I purchased a new skincare regimen, party supplies for my Superbowl Party (more on that soon), and decorative pillows!

Now being part-owner of an awesome little home decor and accessories shop that is known for carrying unique items, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I found decorative pillows for my living room at Target, but just look at them ... aren't they cute?!?!

I didn't bother trying to "clean up the sofa" ... so the dogs and their toys made it into the photo as well.

And my favorites ...

The bird pillows are from Dwell Studio's, line specifically for Target, so no wonder I like them so much ...

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I also purchased some items for our Superbowl Party this weekend. Here's a picture of all those goodies :)

This is the first party we've thrown since moving down here, so I'm very excited. And I've never thrown a Superbowl party ever. So I'm going a little overboard ... I got the cute plates and cups and a matching tablecloth. Then I got some cute gel window clings that say things like "Touchdown" and have helmets and stuff. They were all out of the coordinating napkins so I had to get those striped ones. But all-in-all I'm proud of the purchases.

More later! Xoxo,
