I have plenty that I can
share here, so let’s just go ahead and dive right in, shall we?
Adult Beverages
I was not one to ever break
the rules and drink before I turned 21, but man, from the moment I hit that
milestone birthday I have loved indulging in a good drink. Domestic beer, craft beer, wine, margs,
Moscow Mules, other specialty cocktails, I love it all! Give me an ice cold beer in a Georgia
The picture below is one of
my Vodka Strawberry Lemonades. It’s perfect for this time of year… well, if
the weather would hurry up and stay warm, that is. ;o)
Reality TV
Namely, The Bachelor and The
Bachelorette. Yes, these shows are
definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, and yes, sometimes I swear I lose brain
cells as I watch, but there’s nothing like being lazy on the couch and counting
how many times Chris Harrison can say, “It’s the most shocking finale in
Bachelor history.” Ha!
Social Media
Hi, my name is Lindsay and I
love social media. What can I say? I love keeping up with people and I LOVE
taking a peek into people’s daily lives.
My very favorite part of social media right now is watching people’s
stories on Instagram. I know it provides
zero intellectual stimulation, but it is a nice way to unwind at the end of a
long day when you just want something mindless.
And if you want to follow
along with my Instagram stories, you can do so here. I’ve been decluttering and reorganizing our
house for the last couple of months and I’ve been documenting some of my
journey there. I also documented our
entire Disney World trip in my stories as well.
Just click the story highlights right above my pictures to watch!
Dessert Before Bed Every Night
I loooove sweets so pretty
much every evening after the kids go to bed, B and I treat ourselves. Most nights I choose Halo Top because it’s a
healthier version of ice cream, but sometimes I just want a big ol’ piece of
cake or a brownie or a slice of cookie cake.
I’m making myself hungry just thinking about it! ;o)
This dessert below is one of
my Blueberry Lemon Drop cookies. These
are so unique, light, and delicious, and again, perfect for this time of year! They are so refreshing… if cookies can be described
as refreshing, that is!
Taking Weekends Off from Cooking
I typically try to cook
Monday through Thursday each week (although during soccer season some of those
nights involve leftovers or something quick), but on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, Momma does not cook. Friday evening after a long week the last
thing I want to do is spend the evening in the kitchen, so we almost always go
out or bring home pizza or takeout to enjoy.
We typically attend church on Saturday evening at 5:30 so we pretty much
always go out to eat for dinner afterward.
Then Sundays are known to be our family days with our extended families
and typically my MIL and my Momma cook.
Every now and then my Momma won’t cook and I’ll cook instead, but other
than that, I don’t pick up a pot or pan on the weekend!
The recipe below is my Beef and Parm Pasta with Zucchini. It only dirties one pan and it's super easy to make!
Rap Music
I love love LOVE rap
music. Always have and probably always
will much to my Daddy’s dismay. The
louder the better, and do not give me
the clean versions! I want the original
versions, cuss words and all. Yes, I’m
aware that some of the lyrics are pure filth, but there’s just nothing like a
good beat. I still know all the words to
Gangsta’s Paradise, Baby Got Back, In Da Club, 99 Problems, and loads of others
and, yes, I am the mom riding up to
the car line blasting Dr. Dre, Snoop, and Jay-Z. But don’t worry, I turn it off before the
kids get in the car. ;o)

pleasures! Be sure to link up with us

Those cookies look amazing!!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves to indulge in the Bachelor as well!!! - Shannon @slayitagainshan.com
ReplyDeletequick side comment- I made an oopsie in linking up my blog! I linked up twice and the first submission (#6 without an image) is a bad link! I've been trying to figure out how to delete it but am clueless! Would you be able to delete it from your end? I'm so so sorry!!
Don't worry, you're definitely not! I love it, too! I can't wait for Bachelorette!
DeleteAnd no worries, I don't moderate the link-up, but I'll see if we can get it taken down. I think sometimes if you hover over your link in the link-up a trash can will appear and you can then delete it. I can't remember if that's an option for Linky Tools (the one we're using) or InLinkz, though. That might be for InLinkz.
Oh Baby Got Back.... Love that song!! :) Those vodka slushies look amazing! The perfect drink for sipping on the deck (if spring ever decides to show up).
ReplyDeleteI agree - I love a good drink! AND yes, to dessert. I eat those peanut butter cups every night!
ReplyDeleteI love the bachelorette/bachelor. And some good rap too!
ReplyDeleteSocial media and reality tv....my favorites!!!
ReplyDeleteSarah at MeetTheShaneyfelts
Hahaha these are great!! Realty tv was on my list too!
ReplyDeleteI love a good drink. Give me all the trashy tv. ��. I need to take a sabbatical from social media ;)
ReplyDeleteRap music brings me back to high school! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love not cooking on weekends, rap music and reality tv. I need to try those drop cookies. They look really good.
ReplyDeleteYes to rap music!! It makes me feel young again and no way I cook on the weekends unless I have to.
ReplyDeleteI should have added not cooking at all to my list! I make Dave do it!
ReplyDeleteHaha these are great! Cracking up at the rap music. It was big for me in high school and college but those days feel long gone lol. Yes to all the social media and taking off from cooking! Sierra~Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteno beer in a can for me either haha! I would not have pegged you as a rap girl so I learned something new!
ReplyDeleteOooh I want to try that beef and parm pasta! It looks SO good!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look SO good!
ReplyDeleteThank you! They are one of my favorites ever!
DeleteLoved this link up - you have a great guilty pleasures list - love the fact you rank the craft beers and cocktails - I am a sucker for those too. But the best part was the RAP - I love old school R&B and rap - I downloaded a load of old favourites the other week on you-tube and knew all the words to SHOOP by Salt and Pepa for goodness sake. I can't listen to it much now as I used to as Caspar and Andy hate it. I love it. I think the bad language went over my head when I was younger and now I have to select the you-tube options where the really bad swears and so on are blipped out. That's how I know I am now officially old, ha! Great post - Joanne x
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look so so good!! I'm a sweets girl too. My husband is the rap lover in our house... but I swear he's played it so loud that he can't hear well anymore and always has the tv insanely loud when watching!
ReplyDeleteWe have so much in common!! I wish I could break my "dessert every night" trend, but I just love it so much, haha! Instagram stories are currently my favorite right now, too!
ReplyDeleteGirl, tell me about it! I wish I could, too! It's so hard!
DeleteIG stories are my absolute FAVORITE! And, dessert every night before bed?!?! YES!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have dessert every night before bed - what a treat! I opt for Halo Top sometimes too as it's just plain fun to eat as much as I want minus the calories of my actual favorite from Ben & Jerry's - ha! Do you have a Halo Top favorite? I LOVE that you take weekends off from cooking! Sounds great! That drink looks delicious! Thanks for sharing and for co-hosting this fun link up! I was glad to get in on it this time around, even if a day late. lol. Wishing you a wonderful upcoming weekend, friend! xo - Brenda // ChattingOverChocolate.com
ReplyDeleteI truly love all of the Halo Tops except for vanilla! My faves are Candy Bar, Red Velvet, and the Chocolate Almond one. They are all so delicious! And thank you so much for linking up!
DeleteYyyyyeeeeessss!!! To all of this! You rock the social media, girl! I'm loving IG stories as well! I love to watch you, k8_smallthings, houseofrose, athomewithnatalie, andhattiemakesthree and andrea2220!!! I listen to rap when I'm at the gym and I sometimes remove me earbuds to make sure nobody heard what I just heard because I'm sure I'd be removed from the gym. LOL!!! And AMEN to not cooking on the weekends. I still have to cook a little bit, but I give myself one day a week to eat out and it's always so nice!!
ReplyDeleteVodka Strawberry Lemonade sounds delish! I'm not much into beer. I like to watch The Bachelorette too.
ReplyDeleteIt is really good! You should try it!
