I have a crush on vintage cars! I have been on the lookout for a vintage Fiat 500 for quite a while now – seems like there aren’t a lot of them available in South Florida. Aren’t they adorable?
I saw a vintage 1965 Fiat 500 on Snail Trail awhile ago – however, she isn’t available anymore, however they have an adorable assortment of retro rentals and vintage cars available for rental for photos shoots and more. And sometimes they sell one of them too. So fun!
Do you like croutons on your salad? Of course you do – they are yummy, crunchy, deliciousness! You don’t have to run to grocery store to pick up a bag, you can make your own – they are really easy to make! When we have bread that is getting iffy or has been in the freezer for a while, the mister pulls out a piece to make croutons to go with our dinner salad. Do you have a little leftover bread laying around, read on to whip up a quick batch of these yummy croutons:
Ingredients:
bread (any kind)
organic extra virgin oil olive
garlic salt
Preparation
Cut the bread into 1/2 inch cubes, toss in a bowl with organic extra virgin olive oil until mostly coated, then add garlic salt to taste. Bake at 350° or until crispy. Pull them out as soon as you think they are done or they will burn.

Hello, Friends! How was your week? I am busy trying to finish everything up today so I can enjoy our newly found 3 day weekend due to school closing because of an unexpected “rain day!” I want to finish up in time to have a little one-on-one time with Eben before the mister gets home for the weekend.
Tomorrow night, the mister and I are heading on a date night. One of my goals for 2014 was to spend more one-on-one time with my guys. A long evening out with my husband is exactly what I think we need to jump-start it! During the day we are taking Eben’s great-grandfather out for lunch, followed by a family sailing trip on Sunday. Sounds like a great weekend to me – how about you? Do you have any fun plans?
You have heard of a snow day right? Well, today all of the schools in our county are closed due to rain. That’s right – it has been raining for the past 4 days and last night it poured all night long dropping 12 inches of rain on our county. Luckily, we live in a new area that was build with proper drainage and retention ponds, so we feel fortunate not to be negatively affected by the water. However, my thoughts are with those who have been impacted by the flooding.
I hope everyone stays home out of the rain and safe. I am secretly excited to have Eben home today – I am thinking we should bake some cookies and snuggle up with a great movie or craft.
