Appetizing Aprons

My entrepreneur husband has struck again!  We are VERY excited to announce the launch of his first online store - Appetizing Aprons!  Ben with the help of his business partner and his wife have been working diligently to get the site up and running. 

Why aprons your may ask (I obviously asked the same thing)?  Cute aprons, girly aprons, sexy aprons, vintage aprons, etc. are searched hundreds of thousands a time a day online.  Who knew? 

These aprons are SUPER adorable and "Courtney-approved"!  There are aprons for EVERYONE!  From women to men to kids and toddlers, the entire family can be dressed for a fun night of cooking!  Aprons are GREAT gift ideas!  I actually gave super cute aprons to hostesses for one of my bridal showers and they LOVED them.  I was able to get different aprons that matched each of their personalities!  I can't wait for the next bridal shower I go to so I can add a stylish apron with a gift!  Your gift will definitely be a HIT to the bride and all the guests!

You can also ship an apron directly as a gift.  The packaging is super cute and the recipient will love the unique gift!

If you have a shower, house warming, or birthday coming up OR if you just want to look FABULOUS when you cook that mean pot of spaghetti, visit www.appetizingaprons.com so you can be the diva in the kitchen that you are meant to be!

We are BIG time now...

I've suggested a few times that we needed a Costco card. (LA peeps - Costco is basically Sam's)  Hello!!  I'm always throwing a party or shower and need stuff and lets be honest....I love the samples during lunch time.  He usually just ignored the thought and out of the blue a week ago he said "why don't we have a Costco card?". 

Costco and Home Depot are in the same parking lot, so once we left Home Depot on Saturday I had him drive on over to Costco.  The Worley's are official Costco members now!  We feel big time and so very grown up :) 




Ben was basically mortified when I told him to stand there with the new Costco card in hand so I could take a picture!!  His response "is this for your blog"?  Why else would I need to take this ridiculous picture??

Whirlyball

Our newly married community group at church is FULL of August and September birthdays.  One of the guys has celebrated his birthday the same way for 15 years!  He gathers a large group to go play Whirlyball.

If you are like me, you are asking yourself, "what is whirlyball".  In short, it's Lacrosse in bumper cars.  Ben decided to play a game (which lasts 13 minutes) and I was a spectator.  I did realize while watching Ben play that if we are ever blessed with children, I will not be the "screaming mom" at games, but instead I will be Ms. Penny!  If you are from Sterlington and reading this, you know what I mean when I say this.  Ms. Penny was like a second mom to me and she NEVER left home without her camera!!  She probably has an action shot of her three children doing everything and thanks to her, there are many of me too!

Needless to say, Ben scored a point during his Whirlyball match and I almost missed it because I was trying to get the best photo shot via my iphone and through the glass walls!

 

30 is really happening....

My Big 3-0 is coming up in 1 week.  Since my birthday is on Labor Day this year, Ben planned me a little celebration on Saturday.  When Ben mentioned planning something like this, I told him SMALL and not fancy!!  I have had my big party of the year (aka - wedding) and didn't need another.  All I knew was there a a celebration on Saturday and I needed to be ready at 6:30.  I obviously bought a new dress but it was difficult since I did not know where we were going. 

The 30th birthday celebration was held at Front Page News in the Little Five Points area.  It's very "Louisiana themed" and they serve everything from Abita beer to jambalaya egg rolls, to amazing bread pudding!  About 20 fabulous friends came to socialize and have a good time. 

My friend Sarah Cook helped Ben with the location and my friend Sarah Durling had the area all "jazzed up" in Mardi Gras flair.  The best part was Ben ordered a King Cake from New Orleans for my actual birthday cake!  It was DELICIOUS!!! 

Thanks to everyone for helping me ease into my 30s with friends, good food, and lots of laughs! 

Who says marriage gets boring after 6 months?

It's been awhile since I've blogged because between my work travels and Ben's work travels, we have just been everywhere!  Since the last time I've posted, we have eaten peaches from our random peach tree in our backyard, had Ben's family visit us for a few hours, I helped throw a Monograms & Margaritas bridal shower, started the Insanity workout, and Ben turned 29!!  I'm terrible for not posting about Ben's birthday but he was traveling for work on his actual birthday so we had to celebrate early.

Over the past few days, the weather in Atlanta has been unbelievably amazing!!  On Monday night we were cooking turkey burgers and Ben suggested us eating outside because it felt amazing.  Unfortunately, we do not have patio dining furniture yet (one of the many things we still want) so we pulled out our TV trays and enjoyed the beautiful weather while grubbing down!

Since Ben and I have been eating "healthy" - lots of "good fats" - I have been craving something that doesn't consist of natural peanut butter or hummus.  When I got home from work, Ben suggested that after we work out, we get TCBY and then take a walk around Chastain Park before we made dinner.  Hearing the words TCBY made me smile and I probably did a little jig!*

After the Insanity work-out, we headed to TCBY and both got Key Lime Pie yogurt.  I little slice of heaven!  We started walking around the park and decided to stop and watch Pee-Wee football practice. It was VERY entertaining!

I made a comment how we were so not very "routine" anymore after work and Ben's comment was "who says married gets boring after 6 months?".  Well, it's true, the Worley's hit our 6 month "anniversary" this past weekend and we both forgot - HA!  Ben was actually at National Guard and texted me the next day to tell me.

So that's what's been going on in our life lately!  Nothing crazy, but still having fun!

*TCBY is greater than all the "new hip yogurt places"!  Just my 2 cents....
