Easy Broccoli Slaw

The weather has been nice here for the past couple days.  We took total advantage of it and grilled up a variety of meats yesterday.  Wanting a quick and easy side dish, I came up with this slaw.  And my whole family loved it.  It's a simple, quick, and tasty recipe!!

Serves 4-6 people, double recipe for larger party

Ingredients:
3/4 c. mayo
1/2 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. vinegar
1 10 oz. bag of broccoli slaw (found in produce area next to lettuce)
1/2 c. pecans, chopped

Directions:
1.  Mix first 3 ingredients together to make a dressing.
2.  Pour over slaw mix and stir well.
3.  Add pecans.

Celebration Sundays - Spa Party Theme

Today is my oldest daughter's 10th birthday.  My heart stops when I think about how fast the time has gone.  I try my hardest to treasure every minute.  Making sure to be at all of the school parties, sports games, big events, simple moments, and everyday life.  But suddenly I have realized that my baby is growing up.  She has so many great talents and I can't wait to see what lies ahead for her. 

To celebrate, we had a fun spa party last weekend.  She invited 4 of her closest friends to have their nails done and come back to our house for a slumber party.  It was a picture perfect event that I will treasure.  Hope you enjoy too!!

The first important part of the party...selecting nail polish from a wall full of colors.

The birthday girl enjoying pedicures with her friends.

Next, each girl got their fingernails done.

Even little sis got to be a part of the fun.

Among the silly girl time I took a moment to take this picture.  It made me realize that my baby has suddenly turned into a beautiful young lady.  Wow, where did the time go!!

The finished product!!

Then, they all went back to our house for pizza, cake, and a slumber party.

The cake was so fun to create.  She even helped me make the nail polishes on top.  It was a layered strawberry and vanilla cake covered in buttercream frosting and fondant decor.

Happy Birthday my sweet girl.  May all your wishes come true!!

A closer look at the top of the cake.

Inside layers in her two favorite colors.  
Full details on how to make the cake coming later this week.

Me and my happy 10 year old.
