Things I learned over derby

As always for this fine Monday, I am here to link up with Katie Que and tell you about all the things I learned this weekend while celebrating Bradley's favorite Holiday aka the Kentucky Derby

//Chocolate chip cookies taste better with Bourbon and sea salt in them.


//A horse with the name A Rod will never treat you right and is totally overrated.

//I am really good at making messes while preparing to host a party. Flour and Bacon grease were poured ALL OVER MY KITCHEN FLOOR on separate occasions. 

//Brad takes his Derby outfit very seriously.

//I am bad at remembering to take photos when I am enjoying the people around me. 

//I am not sorry for not taking many photos while co-hosting an awesome party. (also not sorry for using the word not too many times in this sentence.) 





//The best way to top off celebrating the Derby is honoring Cinco De Mayo and getting Mexican food. Yum!

Cheers to the Derby!

The only thing I took from this was that I need to make those cookies stat because that picture was so distracting/arousing.

Happily Ever Parker said...

Brad's outfit is on point. Is that something he bought for the occasion or something he had in his closet? And I bet you didn't know that today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day (because there is a national day for everything apparently)

Margaret said...

Bourbon and sea salt??? Mmmm. Sounds especially good because I'm seriously in the mood for chocolate chip cookies and milk right now!
