Yesterday I quickly whipped up these three-ingredient peanut butter cookies (recipe here). They are gluten-free for any of you who may be following that diet. And if you are like me, then it's not that you have an intolerance to gluten, but it's that you have an intolerance to nineteen-ingredient cookie recipes. So, if you have a jar of peanut butter, a cup of sugar and an egg in your kitchen, then you are set to create these.

Some of you asked about my pink vest I wore in the mountains -- it is the Lilly Pulitzer Getaway Vest and it seems to be sold out online. I did see a few on eBay so head on over if you are interested!

Recently I purchased the prettiest stargazer lillies for our home and enjoyed seeing them in our kitchen every day. Flowers to me are a reminder of how wonderful it is to not travel for work any longer. When I was traveling like crazy, I rarely spent money on flowers because I knew I wouldn't be home to enjoy them. So they make me smile much more these days because of what they represent.

I'm so excited about a fun dress I purchased from Fickle here in Charlotte (our invite-based consignment selling group). Rachel Pally for $40. Newly listed items are released each night at 8:30 and I love curling up on the couch with my iPad to see what hits the site each evening! If you are in Charlotte and would like an invitation to join, please let me know your email address and I'll get you one.
So, I just caved and ordered Camille this play remote (which I said I wouldn't do because I didn't want her to think of our remotes as a toy). But we have seen that nothing can keep her from wanting to grab ours... nothing! So, a $10 version will now be hers. Thank you Amazon Prime for your speedy shipping and for probably saving us some brain cells trying to figure out what button she pressed that made our display all wonky. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em ... I guess.
TGIF y'all, and hope you will join in on Five on Friday this week! Cheers to the weekend!
Stargazers are my absolute favorite! I love how their smell can fill an entire house!
ReplyDeleteyummmm i want those cookies! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteThose cookies sound divine! I might have to whip up a batch this weekend. Thanks for the share. (Kate @ The Neat Nook)
ReplyDeleteHaha, the remote thing is a never-ending battle in our house. Actually, I guess it's not really a battle if you've given up the fight. Lol
ReplyDeleteMy son had the same problem... obsessed with the real remote. I figured if I got him one of his own, he would play with that and not ours. Wrong! He hated his lol. He continued to play with ours (and put it in his mouth - he was little) and we ended up needing a new one. We kept the old one, I figured he would play with that one... wrong! LOL. He had 2 remotes now and ONLY wanted the new one. Hope you have better luck!! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeletefresh flowers make my day. i have started to buy them every 1-2 weeks, just to brighten up our living room. have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteCaleb had a remote when he was around Camille's age too - and it definitely kept his little fingers off of our real ones, so I would definitely consider it a worthwhile purchase!:) I so wish we had something like Fickle here in Atlanta. Would be so great! I love hearing about all the fun stuff you score there in Charlotte!:)
ReplyDeleteIt's coming to Atlanta!!!!
DeleteMy girlfriend son is Ohhhhhbsessed with cell phones and was literally giving hers water damage, so, old iPod to the rescue! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!
ReplyDeleteRachel Pally maxi's are the best! Hoping I can fit a 7mo belly into mine this spring!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those cookies and recipe! My daughter and I are making them tonight since she gave up chocolate for Lent, we thought it would be a great dessert for her! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look yummy! love the dress!
ReplyDeleteI love a simply cookie recipe and will definitely be trying it out.
ReplyDeleteSimple cookies? Yes please!
ReplyDeleteLovin' that picture of you two and that vest- pink is definitely your color! Hope ya'll have a fabulous weekend! xo
Hah! Good luck with that- my in-laws gave Lawter a toy remote for Christmas and while she does really like to play with it, there is no more coveted item in our house to her than our remote control! Love that best and love an easy cookie recipe! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove that pink vest! It's such a nice pop of color for winter :) and those cookies are perfect for me to bring in next week to work :)

I love that dress (the price is not too bad, too!)! And I am totally making those peanut butter cookies - thanks for the recipe! :)
ReplyDeletePresley has taken way too much interest in my iPhone lately which is a good reminder for me to put it down!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteAhhh BLESS IT! I love Camille's new "remote." And, girl, those cookies are my jam. We know 'em well at our house! xx
ReplyDeleteThose Stargazers are so beautiful.. among my top 3 favorite flowers but unfortunately, I'm allergic to them! Still enjoy gazing at them though... ha! What is it with babies and remotes?? Glad Camille has her own now :)
ReplyDeletejust found your blog today through the link up, excited to follow your adventures! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteWe ordered the same brand baby cell phone because our 8 month old always gets our phone.. Yea, she looked at me like "this is not a real iPhone mommy" haha. She will play with it some, but still gets mine! She also loves our remote too.. The 2 grossiest things, ick!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link-up. I love the flowers and what they represent for you :)
ReplyDelete3 ingredient cookies sound too easy and good to pass up! I can't wait to try them. Have a wonderful weekend. Xo, Stephanie
ReplyDeleteThat dress is going to look great on you! And $40? What a steal! I love stargazer lillies :) They smell so nice too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great consignment find! Love that vest. Miller loves remotes, phones, anything he's not supposed to have he wants!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is beautiful! And I love that cookie recipe...so easy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI think that is the exact recipe my mom uses for her peanut butter cookies (plus maybe a little bit of vanilla?) I definitely want to make them! I wish I was in Charlotte so that I could join that group. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo Jude bypasses the remote and goes straight for the buttons on our tv and cable receiver!
ReplyDeleteEllie was/is obsessed with our remote. Thankfully we have a spare one so we took out the batteries and write her name on it with a sharpie and she loves playing with it!!
ReplyDeleteLilies are one of my faves! My Valentine's bouquet had stargazers and white roses. Most of the lilies hadn't opened yet, so now a week and a half later the bouquet is in full bloom and still gorgeous!
