April Pinterst Party



Thank you to Andrea for coming up with our fabulous idea for the April Ladies First Pinterest Party!  Since so many places are closed on Sundays, she has offered her home for our get-together.  We have been working on all of the details and can't wait for a night of fun with everyone. 

Here is what we have planned! 

The Food:
Andrea and Amber will make a Pinterest main dish.  Everyone else is invited to bring a Pinterest appetizer, side, or dessert.  Please be sure to email the site you found your recipe on so we can post them on the Ladies First blog.

The Fun: 
It's the adult version of Show and Tell.  If you have made a Pinterest project you want to show off, bring it along for us to ohhh and ahhh over.  Don't worry if you haven't made anything or don't have anything to bring to show us.  If you haven’t had a chance to make something yet; just tell us what project you’re dying to try.

The Friends and Frame: 
Get to know each other better as we complete the Pinterest frame pictured on the invite.  The cost will be $5-10 per person.  We will have all of the supplies (frames, paper, glue, clips, spray paint) but you are welcome to bring your own paint colors or paper if you want something special.  Don't forget a 4 x 6 picture if you want to finalize the project that night! 

Please be sure to RSVP ASAP so we know how many supplies we will need.  Also, please leave a comment once you pick out the Pinterest recipe you plan to bring so we don’t end up with 10 desserts.  (Although, would that be THAT bad????)

Dixie Quicks

WHAT A CRAZY FABULOUS TIME!!! Dixie Quicks is my new favorite!  Many people commented on how much fun we had, what great service, great friends, and delicious food!  I'm sure that Ladies First will be back again....soon!  I loved it so much I have reservations for this Friday as well!

The menu varies each day by what was looking good at the store that day- they don't hand out menus at your table, you walk up and read the big ol' chalkboard in the middle of the place.  I had heard from so many people that everything you get is wonderful so I just told the waiter to pick me out something--and BOY oh BOY was it good!

We were lucky enough to have the honor of celebrating Stephanie's birthday with her!  Of course we had to have cake to go with the birthday! 

Doug, our waiter, stood on the chair to take this pic... he was trying to take it from down low and I said, "Oh no! That is never a flattering angle"  So, up on the chair he got at my insistence.  The glare from the artwork behind was too big if he took it straight on. 

I tried to take his picture on the chair, but he insisted I take a shot of his good side. 


Funny thing about Waiter Doug was that he totaled his truck the night before, and my CBPD husband was the first one on scene!  Small world...at least my husband wasn't the one who ticketed him for it!!!

If you haven't been to Dixie Quicks yet....run, run, run and get there as fast as you can!  Just promise you will take me with you!

This post was also edited to add:  We missed some of our favorite people this month!!! Hope to see you back in April!
