The Ultimate Jewelry Organizer

Win a $50 credit to One Blessed Mommie...where you can pick out your own Ultimate Jewelry Organizer. This thing is seriously rocking my world!


Meet my new friend, Natosha! She's the gal behind One Blessed Mommie.
Her story is AMAZING and has truly touched my heart.



The Reason Behind this Unique Shop:
One BLESSED Mommie is just that...a mother who has been richly blessed with 5 beautiful, amazing, quirky, loving children. Natosha's oldest and youngest daughters,  Denalli and Ryka, were born with a rare genetic disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type II. SMA is a genetic disorder that affects all the muscles in their bodies, and it is the number one genetic killer of infants. 
Originally this store was opened to raise funds for a specialized power-chair that would give Denalli the independence she needed. But, because of an overflowing wave of generosity, Denalli now has her specialized power-chair!! Hip-Hip HORRAY!!! 
Now, due to the extra medical costs incurred by not only one, but now 2 children with a life debilitating disease, 50% of profits go to help offset medical necessities. Furthermore, One BLESSED mommie donates 15% of all profits to a non-profit organization called "Families of SMA" or FSMA. The organization is fueling the fire to CURE SMA and give hope to families affected by SMA. One BLESSED Mommie's goal is to raise over $2,000 for Families of SMA in 2013. Please spread the word and help touch thousands of lives around the globe!

I'm absolutely in love with the jewelry organizer Natosha sent my way. Isn't it ADORBS? I never knew my jewelry could be so...well, organized! And so pretty at the same time. 

And y'all know I'm a clip-wearin' fool. Even my little clippies fit in the mesh part. Perfection. 


Natosha is giving an awesome discount to my fabulous friends {that's YOU}, as well! Just use the code MOPPING for 15% off of your order at One Blessed Mommie


She has so many beautiful patterns and different organizing systems. 
It's hard to choose one!

How about $50 to spend as you please at Natosha's shop?

I'm not shy about my love affair with my Keurig. Where would I be without Single Cup Coffee? And now...something awesome has come to the K-Cup section of my store: New Gevalia Signature Blend and Columbia Blend! Gourmet Coffee Beans all prepared and ready to go in the perfect size. #CupOfKaffe #cbias

I even have a fabulous way to incorporate this awesomeness into your favorite brownie recipe!

So, I totally met Johan at Blissdom in March. Um, yeah. He's every bit as Johan as he is in the commercials. He joined us the second morning of breakfast at the conference. And so did all of the yummy Gevalia coffee. It was such a treat {I'm referring to the coffee...okay, maybe I'm referring to Johan, too. Blush.}! At the time, I remember thinking...wish I could get this in K-Cup form {the coffee, not the man}.

Ask and ye shall receive:

They hopped right into my buggy.
I decided I needed to try both varieties.

And out came the fabulousness.

I added a little cream and settled in for pure perfection in my mug. 
And let me tell ya...it did not disappoint. I've been drinking the Gevalia single-serve coffee for a few days now and I absolutely love it. I prefer the Columbia Roast in the morning and often go back in the afternoon for a cup of the Signature Blend. And just like its bagged coffee, the Gevalia single serve coffee isn't even a little bitter. It's just a mug full of AWESOME.

Oh, and the brownies! Eek! I added some of my new Gevalia coffee to my favorite brownie mix. You know what it made? Brownie Perfection, my friend.

I just brewed a Gevalia Single Coffee on the smaller setting size...
right into my measuring cup.

Friday's Freebie: Blame it All on My Roots

I had a totally different {graduation-themed} printable all ready to go last night. But then...I kind of hated it. The more I looked at it throughout the day, the more I was embarrassed to post it. And back at Blissdom, I made a promise to myself to only post awesome {or at least my own standard of awesome...we all set our bar somewhere}. And awesome it was not

So as I sat here at my desk, listening to my {constantly-in-the-background-Luke-Bryan-Jason-Aldean} Pandora-station, I realized I was just in a country kind of mood. I grew up on Dolly & Kenny and not a lot has changed with my music tastes in 35+ years {except for that darned thrifting song. Geez-a-lou}. So, here ya have it...this is the stuff that makes my speakers go boom-boom {if you're a Luke fan, you got that}:

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots printable.
Thank you, Garth. You kind of rock. 

Blame it all on My Roots Free Printable

This is sized at 8x10, but prints onto a letter-sized paper for trimming and framing.

Glazed Caramel Macchiato Muffins

The doughnut muffin obsession continues. 
And creamer-incorporated-into-a-recipe obsession, as well. Today, I bring you these 
Glazed Caramel Macchiato Muffins in all their glazed-doughnutty-glory. 

Glazed Caramel Macchiato Muffins: An easy 10-minute recipe with a dunk-n-soak glaze that takes these WAY over the top!

Once again, I took my basic recipe for the Cowboy Muffins
and put a spin on it with a flavored creamer in place of the milk.

Glazed Caramel Macchiato Muffins: An easy 10-minute recipe with a dunk-n-soak glaze that takes these WAY over the top!
This time...Caramel Macchiato was up to bat.
And he did not disappoint his fans.

Glazed Caramel Macchiato Muffins: An easy 10-minute recipe with a dunk-n-soak glaze that takes these WAY over the top!
 And a little glaze dunk made these AHHHHHH-Mazing.

Glazed Caramel Macchiato Muffins: An easy 10-minute recipe with a dunk-n-soak glaze that takes these WAY over the top!
To make these, you'll need:
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup Caramel Macchiato International Delight Creamer
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons Caramel Macchiato International Delight Creamer
In mixing bowl, cream together first 1/2 cup sugar, shortening and egg. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture and the creamer alternately to the sugar/shortening/egg mixture, beating well.
Fill 12 prepared muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for 20 to 23 minutes or until done. Combine remaining powdered sugar and creamer to make the glaze. While muffins are still warm from the oven, submerge muffin tops in glaze. For extra sweetness, allow glaze to harden and then repeat for another layer of glaze.
