Five on Friday

Linking up again to share my 5 things!

1. So much fun at our wine tasting party Wednesday night! Thanks to Rachel for hosting!

What we did was everyone brought 2 bottles: one for the competition and one for the prize pool. The competition wine was brown-bagged and numbered, so you didn't know which wine you were drinking. We had papers to record the number of the wine we were tasting and we rated each on a scale of 1-10. Dee was nice enough to add up everyone's scores of the different wines at the end of the night to declare a white winner and a red winner. 

2. My wine won the contest for the whites!!! (Which means I got to take home the white wines from the prize pool, yay!) In case you are interested, it was Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling which Trav picked up the other day because it was on special at Harris Teeter!! 

Even more surprising, the red wine winner was from Aldi of all places! Who knew?! 

3. Everyone brought an appetizer, but since we all know I hate cooking, I baked and brought cookies instead. 

Here is the recipe! 

(We also served these at our wedding as part of our cookie bar!) 

4. Do you all watch Southern Charm?!? 

I'm kind of addicted, now that it's over!! I can't believe Cameran got married....and I'm also convinced Kathryn is not the same person. Crazy!! Also, one of my Facebook friends ran into them while in Charleston! 

Anyone up for a road trip to Charleston?!? Haha.

5. My first Mother's Day is coming up and I can't believe my husband actually asked me yesterday what I wanted!!! Woohoo!!! His suggestion was to put in a new light fixture in our breakfast area (always so practical, remember he paid off my car as my push present!), but I kinda want a new necklace, especially one with Ella's name. Although I probs wouldn't get it in time for actual Mother's Day....

Or I wouldn't mind something like this, with part of one of my fav poems on it...

Any other good ideas to tell my husband about?!? And what should I get myyyy fabulous mama and MIL?! 

Have a great weekend!
