Everyday Maddie

 Happy Thursday! I am linking up with Holly and Patty today for the April edition of Monthly Musings! Today we are talking all things spring! 1. Do you celebrate Easter, Passover, or another holiday in spring? We celebrate Jesus's death and resurrection. 2. Do you plant a garden? Any tips for those without a green thumb? Unfortunately I do not have a green thumb. We have planted a couple of different flowers in our yard, but we can't seem to keep them from season to season. 3. How do you decorate for spring? A few pops here and there, nothing crazy. 4. Desserts that just say spring to you? Definitely carrot cake! 5. Favorite spring flowers? Peonies are my favorite!! 6. Best tips for hosting spring events? I always love to have a pretty table set with cute themed napkins! 7. Favorite beverage or cocktail that makes you think of spring? I always break out the rosé or white wine when the weather starts to warm up. 8. Vegetable garden, flower garden, both, neither? In a perfect wor...

 Happy Friday, friends!! How was your week?? I feel like it flew by! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from the week. First up, I am loving my new makeup! I shared all about it yesterday! Update on this Trader Joe's meal.... LOVED the chicken. Like, tasted better than Chinese takeout! We did not love the fried rice, but the chicken was a win! It's Masters week! Woohoo! Are you watching?? We wish we were there, but for now.... this will do! I bought this as soon as I saw they were available. Chips, cookies, popcorn- all YUM. BBQ, egg salad, pimento cheese....the bbq is AMAZING. Pimento cheese is very good! Egg salad is a little bland, but it was good on the plain chips- I want to try it with the bbq chips too. It came with all the party hosting supplies! Simple pleasures... I read on the back porch yesterday afternoon for close to an hour. So nice! Why don't I do this more often?? Making it a goal to start doing this a few times a week. Ano...

 Happy Monday!! I am linking up with Holly and Sarah today for Hello Monday! Ok, I feel like I can only share so many pictures of our Friday night Mexican 😂. That being said....we took a little day trip on Saturday, so I'm just sharing about that today! We live about 3 hours from Huntsville, AL, so occasionally we will make a day trip for none other than Trader Joe's! Up and at 'em early for coffee, so we could hit the road. First stop when we got there.... P.F. Chang's! Always our fave! This was our go to spot for "fancy" dates in high school- haha! Always start off strong with crab won tons...yummmm. I have never ordered anything other than Chang's spicy chicken here. The BEST. Caleb got the lo mein- it was good too! Next stop.... Trader Joe's! This is one of my favorite locations! Yes, I have a TJ's obsession and rank the different locations.....Anyway, I'll post a haul sometime this week! 30 minutes later....this was the least crowded I ha...

 Happy Thursday!! Still needing an Easter dress? Or just need to add some new dresses to your spring and summer wardrobe? I've got you covered! I love love love this dress from Avara's latest collection! So pretty and such a good price! Y'all probably already know my love for this dress by now! I think it would make a great Easter dress, and I will be wearing it all spring and summer. It's a bit more a splurge! Ok, this dress is jaw dropping! How pretty is it?? Another splurge, but goodness how cute!! Another great price dress- only M and L left, though.  Rounding things out with one last great priced dress! Low stock, but all sizes left currently. Happy shopping! Have a great day!!

 Happy Wednesday!! Today I am linking up with Jenn for her monthly blog series, Currently! Today we are talking about all of the things we are CURRENTLY.... Loving, adding to cart, reading, watching, and listening to! Let's get into it... Loving COFFEE. I seriously go to sleep thinking about my morning cup of coffee. It's my very favorite part of my day. Here's my current coffee situation that I am LOVING... My K-Cup of choice. And for when I don't need any more caffeine. And my current creamer. Sometimes I like sweet, sometimes I don't. My favorite from Chobani is the cookie dough flavor, but I can never find it anywhere. White chocolate mocha is a close second! Adding to cart Ummmmm.... this is currently IN my cart , but unfortunately I will not be clicking "pay now". Someone with a higher budget than me, please buy (and maybe let me borrow??!!) 😂😂 Reading Here's what I read in March! As for April, I am starting out with Normal People by Sally Roo...

 Happy Monday, friends! I hope you all had a great weekend. I am linking up with Holly and Sarah today to share all about mine. Friday morning views! Packed up and ready to head out to see our families. My Gresham stack of the day. My favorite jewels! We celebrated Caleb's brother's birthday that night with crawfish- can't believe I didn't get a pic of the food! Saturday morning coffee at my in laws. My sister came and picked me up to get a tea, saw my mom for a bit, and then met back up with Caleb and his parents for lunch at.... Our favorite!! Beagle Bagel! YUM. Tuna melt and pasta salad as always. And of course we got a few things to go to have at home. We ran some errands before we headed back home. I laid down for a bit...the pollen is killing me lately. Ugh. Then it was time to decide dinner plans..... I picked Chili's simply for the skillet cookie- ha! So good! Sunday morning we went to church and then had Mexican after! My mom, sister, and I headed to a seni...
