"Just Add Ice Cream"

 I got this adorable Idea

from Pinterest to create a Gift Basket

full of all the fun Ice Cream Fixings!

So here we go...I made it for 

some good friends that just

moved into a new home!

Do you like it?

I think it came out really cute!
It was a big hit...since the
family we were giving it to
had 2 very excited kids ready
for an Ice Cream Party!
I used some great Crafty Supplies from the
Martha Stewart Collection and Stampin Up
...including my favorite Baker's Red/White Twine!

"Just Add Ice Cream!"

The Tub Included some of our

favorites: Sprinkles, M&M's, Reece's Pieces,

Chocolate Chips, Chocolate Syrup, Marshmallows, and Nuts!

And even more....and more than enough for kids to go wild!

The Color Palette was Adorable....from the Martha

Stewart Collection of Papers...Turquoise, Red, Pink, and Yellow!

I made cute little Circle Labels layered in different patterns of

paper to label all the yummy candy for the Ice Cream Toppings!

You know I love my labels!!!

I love the Turquoise Bucket vs. using a basket!

It all came together Super Cute...even the old 

fashioned Mason Jars! Like it! And so yummy!

Now...I owe my boys an Ice Cream Party Night!

Thank you Pinterest for all the inspiration!!

Congratulations!

"Just Add Ice Cream!"

Apple Nachos

 My girlfriends and I got together 

last week for a Birthday Celebration and they 

 inspired me to make something

sweet and healthy rather than

my favorite yummy love of desserts!

You gotta love a health kick!

Camping

 It was an exciting evening at the

 Pepin House for all the boys!

Yes, actually all the way to
 our backyard we went "Camping!"

We all got into it and had a lot of fun!

The boys were enjoying an evening of 

staying up late, playing in the Hot Tub, 

and of course loving their Tent all set up!

Check it out Campers!

The boys had a blast together with 

all their Glow Necklaces and Toys!

Brody is always up for a good time!

Brooks was all about the whole experience!

Mike and I had a great time too!

We grilled some great eats and enjoyed 

some tasty treats! This was my 

kind of Camping!

Happy Weekend!

Long Boat Key

 The Beach is a perfect way

to welcome the Spring!

So we did....in Long Boat Key!

A little Family Relaxation = Priceless!

It has been a Seasonably Warm Winter, so we 

are still clinging on to the Cool Mornings and Cool Evenings

as we approach 80 Degrees during the day this Spring!       

Here are a few snapshots of

our Spring at the Beach!

"Peace and Love!"

I love a Peaceful View like this...

Long Boat Key is great!

Brooks was all about some Relaxing at the Beach!

The Boys were thrilled to run and chase

the Seagulls! The Beach is so

Fresh and such great fun for all of us!

The boys are always ready to take

a break from the relaxation 

for some Playing in the Sand!

Brody looking oh so cool in his shades!

Mike and I and the boys

made a Cabana by the Beach our

new fort for the day!

I was all for some Lounging in the Cabana with the Boys!

The Long Boat Key Sunset!

We had a great day of some

fun filled Spring Beach Time!

I love all my boys!

Welcome Spring!

Going Disney

 The Celebration continues for

Brooks' Birthday as we do it up

Disney Style for some fun in the sun!

I guess I am teaching Brooks right

to embrace your Birthday and Make it

the Biggest Celebration Ever every single year!!

We went to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios

for a fun filled few days!

Disney is just so Magical!

Brody with his favorite "Jake and the Neverland Pirates"

We just loved the Green Army Guy from

Toy Story! All the Toy Story

Rides were hit for us!

I have to admit I was all about the Rides,

the Characters, and the Shows!

Disney is such a great place!

The Dad of the year

with the boys down Main Street in 

Magic Kingdom!

The "Pirates of the Caribbean" 

was definitely a must see..

my boys were all about it!

There was so much eye candy 

for all of us....we did as much as 

we could...but we do look forward to 

going back to Magic Kingdom

for another round soon!

There is so much hustle and bustle 

when you are plotting and planning

your mission of events at these parks...

that I think some of our favorite rides

...were the relaxing sit back and chill rides!!

Is it nap time?

All Smiles at the JW!

The Boys were in charge of' their

own suitcases and took their

job very seriously! It was a great

Disney Trip! They were at a great age to 

really embrace all the great shows and rides!

It was a thumbs up experience for the Pepin's!

"Going Disney" is really where the magic begins!

Six has Arrived

 A love note to my

sweet Brooksie!

The Big 6 Year's Old!

Wasn't it just yesterday that you were

so tiny in my arms?

You have grown to be quite the little 

gentleman. You are such a Blessing in 

all of our lives! 6 Years Ago

you gave me the gift of "Motherhood!"

Thank you...you are so special!

You amaze us all everyday!

Happiest of Birthdays...my sweet boy!

You have my heart!
