Surviving Hump Day...

...Let's just hope you did a better job of this than me. You want a wellness tip? Some chick that opened a "Cat Cafe" in D.C. says kittens lower blood pressure. Yeah. You know what lowers my blood pressure? Saving money, so have this coupon.com app.

What? Were you expecting a real post? I already told you I barely survived today. In fact, the last 15 minutes of school, the kids started shushing each other. "Her hair is getting all crazy. You know that means she's mad." Apparently they gauge their discipline level by how fast my curls are bouncing. I can't make this stuff up.

RSVP and bring an app!

What to bring? We all want to bring something everyone will love and gush over. Well, I'm usually not that person. But I do have one super awesome recipe that qualifies as gush-worthy...

This appetizer is NOT easy to make, but it TASTES FABULOSO! I got it from my mother-in-law but I have also seen it online (here). I make it at least once a year and it always gets rave reviews. But I say again, it is definitely a PITA to make, even with my shortcuts. 

Here's the recipe peeps:

BLT Bites!

16-20 cherry tomatoes
1 large jar bacon bits
1/2 Cup mayo
1/3 Cup chopped onions
3 T parmesan cheese
2 T parsley

Clean out the tomatoes. Mix the rest of the ingredients and stuff into the tiny tomatoes. Enjoy!





Bonus Party Planning Tip: For a large event, expect only 1/2 of the invited guests to come, then plan for 3/4. And serve what you like because you'll probably have food leftover!

And come back Friday for our first GUEST POST - by the adorable Mama Diaries blogger and children's book writer, Sherry Ellis!

It's party time!!
