YoTaco Wednesday

Yippee, it's Wednesday! Every Wednesday we have a family tradition. We typically don't eat out, but this is the one day that we look forward to each week. Our local Tres Amigos has a customer appreciation event in which they offer $1.25 tacos and margaritas.

Tres Amigos

Rarely, we will indulge in the margaritas if it's been an especially trying week, but typically we just stick to the tacos. Nothing fancy. No sides (with the exception of the tortilla chips and salsa). It's a fun atmosphere and cheap eats.

Tacos!

Then we head over to Yogurtology to get our dessert on. There are several "pay by the ounce" frozen yogurt places around us, and we've tried them all. Yogurtology is by far our favorite. It's nothing fancy. In fact, it's minimalist. I love the stark white room with modern furniture and the employees are super friendly. They have unique flavors and tons of topping choices.

I love the fresh fruit toppings.

Plus, they are super clean. I've seen employees pull out a little dustbuster after each customer to clean around the toppings. It makes my heart swoon. If you "like" them on Facebook, they notify you of new flavors and special discounts. Score!

My youngest came up with the "YoTaco Wednesday" phrase on the way to school a few Wednesdays back. She was really looking forward to that night.

Yum!

I hope you have created some special traditions with your own family. I can't wait for next Wednesday!

Easy Baby Sweater and Hat

After searching and attempting to create the perfect - and quick/easy - baby sweater to give as a gift, I finally just combined a few to make the one I wanted. This particular one is more what I would envision for a girl (regardless of color) because of the lacy pattern created with the shells. My next step to find/create one for a boy. This one is simple enough to work up quickly. I only have a few hours of crochet time at night and I completed the set within 3 days. I imagine if you had half a day you could easily finish it in one setting, depending on your skill level. Sweater Materials: 3-4 ounces 3 ply baby yarn Hook - size F for newborn size G for 3 to 6 months size H (and 4 ply soft yarn) for 6 to 9 months 2-3 button for closure Pattern: (Shell = 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) Starting at neckline, loosely ch 38. Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook & in each ch to end. (37 stitches) Row 2: ch 2, turn (counts as 1st dc throughout) 1 dc in each of t

Organize It - Shoe Rack Grips

Do we really need all these shoes? You can only wear one pair at a time. I guess it's a necessary evil. Shoes aren't my thing. I have more flip-flops and athletic shoes than anything else. I'm happy with that. My favorite shoes are actually my slippers. I could wear them all day and would wear them out if I thought I could get away with it. My hubby, on the other hand, can't have enough shoes. Our youngest K takes after him. We have a fairly large rack for our shoes in the closet to accommodate all those shoes. It's nothing fancy and fulfills my two requirements. It's functional and doesn't take up a lot of space. But there is one huge flaw. Our shoes don't stay put! It ok for shoes that have heels on them because they hang on the back bar. Shoes like this: But if they are flat, like tennis shoes or flip flops (like most my shoes) then they slip right off and I trip over them trying to get to my clothes. What's a girl to do? I

Crocheted Adventure Time Fiona Hat

Well, my cosplaying kid asked for another crocheted creation, but I don't watch Adventure Time. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but this was easy enough and I get to share a free pattern with you. It straps around the chin with a crocheted button and I had the yarn stashed away. I love projects that use up leftover yarn, don't you? I started out with Lilana Wofsey Dohnert's Finn hat pattern on Ravelry. She's brilliant. Then I made adjustments to make it Fiona and fit a bit more snugly.
