Marriage Goals + Nautica Life Gift Set / $4K Cruise Vacation Giveaway

I don’t speak much about my husband except in passing. Not because I don’t think he deserves the recognition but because everything can’t be in the open, some things have to be kept for self and my marriage is one of those things that I like to keep underwraps….except for times like his birthday or Father’s day or when he buys me something really nice!

As Father’s Day nears, I do want to shine some light on this amazing man that asks for little but offers so much in taking care of our little family. September 2 will mark our 10 year wedding anniversary and I must admit this has been the hardest year yet as we journey forward into our next decade together. My husband takes his role as a father and provider very serious. I would venture to say he takes our finances a little too serious but at least we’ll retire with something in the future instead of settling for instant gratification right now. In fact, the flashiest thing he’s probably ever bought himself is the Omega watch from https://www.watchshopping.com/omega that he got himself with on his last birthday because “I deserve it”.

I digress.

My husband is one of those extremely likeable people that can easily fit into a crowd, and is very hard to dislike. We are both energetic and full of life but lately we’ve really been putting taking care of “us” on the back burner in exchange for long work hours and dumping all of our energies into our children, home etc. I’ve put my foot down and the time is now for us to really get back to nurturing one another and our marriage because it is so important to remember why you fell in love with your spouse even when life gets hectic. As the journey begins for us into the next decade of marriage I would love to see us really get back to the things we like, and treat ourselves because life is really no good if you aren’t living.

One of my husband’s favorite things is cologne. Over the years he’s slowed his collection down to halt, but I’m encouraging him to start seeing what’s new on the cologne market. I recently ventured out to Macy’s at Lenox Mall to pick him up a Nautica Life Gift Set to jump start his new collection. The scent is so amazing, like him. It’s cool, light and laid back, and overall likeable. Nothing better than a good smelling man.

The plan is for us to get out together more, you know make date nights a priority and really focus on us now that the children are getting older. I’m looking forward to “dating” a good smelling man again!

Macy’s Sizzle Showdown

I am a member of Everywhere Society. I was compensated for this post. All opinions are mine….you already know.

On Saturday Macy’s Culinary Council Sizzle Showdown went down at Macy’s Lenox Square Mall location. The contest brought together top grillers from across the nation to compete for $10K and the title of Macy’s Great American Grilling Guru.

The dishes were unique and many paid homage to the region from which the contestant was from.

Of course we were able to taste test many of the dishes, and while I can’t remember the names of all of them they were indeed tasty. We were supplied the recipes and please don’t be surprised when you see me post one here on the blog.

The judges were Cat Cora, Marc Forgione, and Stephanie Izard. They had their work cut out for them because the food was delicious. Leah Lyons was the winner and her Surf and Turf was the one dish that I didn’t get a taste of.  Congratulations to her, what a lucky lady!

Summer and grilling are truly great American past times. I can do a little something, something on the grill but nothing like these contestants or my husband. Be sure to be on the look out for Macy’s Culinary Council events in your area. You are sure to have a great time and get pointers on how to make great food.

Of course I got to kick it with some of my favorite Atlanta bloggers in the process.

Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend was slightly busy and I am actually gearing up for my busy season. Pretty much I am booked out on the weekends up until about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. In the midst of all of that Divinitee’s fall line will be coming out and I have to start purging this house of all JUNK. Truth be told half of this stuff “might don’t make it” to the new house. We’ll probably hear our voices echoing off the walls because other than most of our clothes we’ll be starting over from scratch.

Anywho. That’s another post for another day.

This weekend the weather here was rather glorious. Friday my husband worked from home so we all just hung out running errands and such.

Saturday, we got up and headed to my nephew’s football season opener.
