I can see clearly now!

I can cross one thing off my new year's resolution list. I finally made it to the eye doctor. I got stronger contacts and will be sporting some new frames.... I went with caramel colored, oversized frames, a little retro and a throw back to the 80's
They will be replacing these, which I have worn for years.
And I use the word "wear" lightly, I only wear my glasses right before bed or if I have had too many bottles of wine the night before. I am not going to bed in this picture so we know what leaves us with!!

Yay or Nay?

When I first saw these shoes, I immediately thought they were awful.Of course, over the weekend I saw someone with this exact pair on and I thought they were so cute!! I am still undecided, what do you all think? If you're a yay, you can find them here.

Food, Snow and Football

Those 3 words just about sum up my weekend! I kicked off the weekend Friday night with a friend, a bottle of wine, and the best sushi in town!!We woke up Saturday morning to......you guessed it, more snow!!! We took the kids sledding on Art Hill, which is a long standing STL tradition. There is a huge hill in front of the art museum, how they got the name, just perfect for sledding. Anytime we have a major snowfall, Art Hill is packed with sledders, snow boarders, kids, grown ups, and dogs!
Here is my favorite artist rendition of Art Hill
With all the snow and snow days we've had this past week, a date night with Dan was in order. Saturday night we bundle up and headed out for dinner, drinks, and adult conversation.

Superbowl Sunday was the perfect excuse to indulge in more great food. We had some friends over to watch the game and drink some wine. I made these, which were absolutely delicious. In my book, anything from Southern Living is a definite winner. I used slider buns so they were a little bit smaller,
so I could make room for this... Spicy sausage dip
1 pound spicy sausage
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. mayo
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
1 small jar of pimentos drained
5 green onions, chopped

In a skillet, brown the sausage. Drain the fat and transfer to a bowl. Mix in sour cream, mayo, parmesan, pimento and green onions. Place dip into a baking dish and bake at 350 for 30 min. Serve with triscuits, enjoy, and run an extra mile in the morning!!

Dan's the man!

For Christmas, I gave Dan this pair of pants............These are the most flattering pants on my man. He looks so damn cute when he is wearing them!! He loved them so much he ordered a second pair for himself.
I just ordered this third pair for him....

Valentine's Day is less than 2 weeks away, how cute are these red cords for a Valentines night on the town. To make this even more enticing, free shipping!!

Get your hot pants here!
