Happy Hour

Happy Friday My Friends!

I have a very special Happy Hour Post from my sister in law, Vicki in Portugal. 

My family has had an incredible opportunity to live

in Lisbon, Portugal for a few years with my brother Jon's job in the Navy.

They are courageous and adventurous and all sorts of fun.

Of course they are on the most amazing European Travels daily!

So, I live vicariously through their fun...including the Winery Tours.

These Wineries are beautiful! Today, Vicki is sharing some of her gorgeous pictures from

Bacalhoa Winery.  If you haven't had a chance to tour a Winery and learn 

first hand the process of making wine...put it on your bucket list.

Wines have wonderful stories that go back generations. Family history.

And usually some great juice. It's fun and fresh...and most wineries have

their special wines that never even get released. So ...touring a Winery

is Must Do! Check out this fabulous Tour from Bacalhoa Winery of Portugal.

Bacalhoa Winery of Portugal is one of the biggest and innovative

Wineries of Portugal. Bacalhoa is family owned and been producing

wines since the 1920's. Some of my favorite White Wines are from Portugal.

And Vicki said her Top Favorites from Bacalhoa were White Wines too.

If you haven't had the chance to try a Moscato ...she recommends the 

2002 Moscatel Roxo. These are delicious sweet wines.

Great with Coffee or Dessert. Intense aromas and layers of flavors of Orange Blossoms, Caramel,

Almonds, and Honey. Portugal Wines are Terrific Values too. 

Another top favorite from the Bacalhoa Winery is the Catarina White ...It is a Chardonnay.

Pale Yellow in Color, very delicate and elegant. It is a mouthful of Light Fresh Peach and Pineapple.

Terrific Wine for those hot days and relaxing outdoors. 

Both of these Wines are Great Values for under $15.

Thank you Vicki for sharing your Winery Fun with us!

Take the Time to Cheers to the Ones you Love!

Here's to a Happy, Healthy, and Fun Weekend!

Cheers My Friends!!!

Game Truck Party

When you are talking about a Level 10 Birthday Party..

It's not your average Bounce House kind of thing!

My Big Guy turned 10 and of course we rocked it in style!

Check out some of these adorable details with a 10 year old "Game Truck Party."

The Game Truck Party was seriously fabulous. It accommodated a lot of kids

and every kid loves a Truck full of Games!!! I love a party...so I had my fun spin

on the details too! I had these VIP Game Truck Passes made for all the kids.

And I am pretty sure the kids felt pretty special with their VIP Pass!

Party Prep was in full swing! It's all about the details and everything in between!!!

Definitely my happy place!

Etsy Shops were my friend for pulling this party together.

It's so easy to buy Paper Goods on the fly.

Of course ...my son Brooks is a Proud "Level 10" now!!!

The Favors were the cutest! All kids love a Favor! 

And with this being a 10 year old birthday party...not sure what to give

the kids...I was excited when I saw these adorable Gum Balls for the gifts!

I ordered Plastic Craft Tubes that fit 1" Bubble Gum Balls from Amazon and each Tube fit 

8 Gum Balls. I jumped on Etsy and found this great Thank you Tag "Thanks for getting your Game On! Brooks' 10th Birthday!" Tied the Tag with Black and White Bakers Twine ...and Voila....

Cuteness Overload! It was a hit!

We used a Gaming Revolution Franchise and they were terrific!

The Trucks are so fun. They offer all the newest games. 

Their is fun inside and outside the Truck. Very Clean and they were very friendly.

Definitely the Ultimate Gaming Experience!

Cake Pops are where it's at...my son Brooks is not a big Cake person...

but is all about these Cake Pops from Kathy's Love of Cakes!

These Cake Pops and Sugar Cookies were a huge hit!

Adorable, but delicious. I love all the details of these little Xbox remotes!

Sugar High. Check. The Colors were simple with the Game Truck Theme...used

Lime Green, Black, and White. Now...it's all about my next Little Man...he wants

a Game Truck Party....no surprise there! It was a great party!

Enjoy all your Parties and Life's Charming Details!

Happy Hour

Happy Friday Friends! Lately I am obsessed with my Yeti Cups! My hubs and I got them for Christmas and it's such a fav! They are fantastic. Worth the hype! It's a game changer for drinks on the go. Keeping Coffee hot and Cocktails Cold. I always have one going with my Lemon Water, but  these are great for a Friday Happy Hour too! Yeti offers several different products.  My favorite is the Rambler Tumblers which comes in a 20 oz and 30 oz. We have both and they are fantastic. It's even fun to monogram. They make great gifts.  One for you and one for me!

Check out different Etsy Shops to dress up that Rambler Cup with a cutie decal. There are so many options to personalize your cups! Everything looks better with a Monogram!! Check out a few of my favorite's here and here. Grab a Yeti Friends and Enjoy your Happy Hour! Cheers!!!
