Weekend Inspired

A little inspiration for my Memorial Day Weekend!

What I am most excited for this weekend is the salmon fillets I have ready to grille up tonight.

Close friends are throwing a backyard 'camp-out' engagement party (blog coverage to come) and it's BYO-meat!

I'll also be starting my patio garden this weekend and can't wait for sweet pea flowers to bloom all summer so I can display them in my glass 'Atlas' mason jar collection!

FIY: If you come across 'Atlas' jars while cooking pass them along to me! I collect them, both new and old! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Sparkly Sparkles

Made my first Girl's Only Vegas trip this past weekend and it was a BLAST!

I love a good girl's road trip! Lots of country music, cheese its, fruit snacks and a little craziness courtesy of Autumn!

From the parking garage straight to our pool view rooms and then the Rehab Pool at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, VIP style! We snagged a fantastic hotel deal on

A long afternoon by the pool led us to Moon and The Playboy Club at the Palms and Tao! Some of the girls even made it to Vanity!
I went to bed. :)



Rather early for Vegas we headed to Club Rehab at the Hard Rock's Rehab Pool! What a trip! A must do in Vegas!


Then we celebrated little Liv's 21st Birthday with dinner at Nobu!

Menu Recommendations:
Black Cod with Miso
Rock Shrimp Tempura with Creamy Butter Ponzu Sauce
Lots of water!
Vegas Bombs!

We ended the night with dancing at Vanity!

There may or may not have been some more mischief in between! But, What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!!!
All n all it was a fabulous trip! Can't wait to do another!
