Frankie's comes to town!

John is always on the search for the next great Sports bar in Fort Worth- trust me, they have been hard to come by. So, when our friend Eric suggested the new Frankies (Dallas sports bar) that opened a location right outside Sundance Square- we decided to try the place out. And, wow- I only have great things to say about it!

Ben was a smart guy

The beer was super cold- (I forgot my thermometer- darn- will have to go back!). I loved that it came in this football- shaped mug.

Cute Mug

There were TONS of T.V.s. There was not a spot in the place where you couldn't see a game. They even had T.V.s in both the women's and men's bathroom mirrors.

Charging station- LOVE it! My cell phone is always needing a charge-and this is genius. This wall mount carries all the different chargers for every phone there is- and more than that- this could be a great place for a Meet. Cute.

Awesome!

So, cold beer, T.V.s, and well, that's all it takes to make this crew happy! Frankie's- you scored a touchdown with this one!

Smiles all around!

John's happy with Frankie's!

Hostess with the Mostest

A few days ago, John and I hosted our first Thanksgiving for 20 guests. I learned there are 5 things you need to have a successful Thanksgiving.

1.  A husband who smokes the turkey so I don't have to worry about ruining or drying it out.  #Biggest fear

John carving his 1st Turkey

2. A great sister (I mean sous-chef) who came Wednesday night to keep me calm and assist me in pie making, carrot peeling, and potato mashing

Sisters

3. A very, very helpful family who all volunteer to bring parts and pieces to create an amazing feast!

Turkey and Ham!

Feast!

4. An apron to complete the look! (That is part of being a great hostess after all- the outfit!)

Thanks Linds for my cute apron!

5. Plenty of Cold Beer.

Shiner? Yep, we are in Texas after all

 Yep, folks that's all it takes! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hottest Fall Trends- Buyer Beware!

This weekend my sister Terri came to stay with us. She and I went shopping Saturday afternoon for some of the latest new Fall trends. We found some super cute stuff at the Gap- including a cute scarf, a flannel shirt- super cute (and a little farm-like as well), and.....wait for it....

Terri found Green-Jean-Leggings!

If you know my sister at all- this is a bold buy for her- but she did it and I applaud her. They are really cute and totally hip- right off the runway!

So, of course, she needed to take a crash course with them on-so, we hit the town last night. (The things I do for her...)

Well, folks let me tell you- Green Jean Leggings...oh what the heck- Green Jeggings...that's better...were NOT made for beer! Beer was made for elastic pants, casual day on the couch, or being around someone who already loves you. (That's how I get away with it ;) ).

"This beer clashes with my jeggings!"

When accessorizing your jeggings- cocktail style-we can say from experience- Vodka is the way to go.

So, when you are buying those new fall trends and getting ready for a night on the town- remember your drink is more than just a drink- it's an accessory.
