Chex Lemon Buddies + A Gift Idea for Mom


Mother's Day is just around the corner! It's time to start making decisions on what to get for those wonderful moms out there. When my husband asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day I told him
jewelry!

I LOVE jewelry and cannot get enough. And these days my favorite place to shop for it is

ShopLately is my FAVORITE one-stop shop for all things jewelery and accessories. This shop has everything you need and a lot of it. There are all kinds of earrings, bracelets, rings, and watches to shop from. And it doesn't end there! We're talking handbags, scarves, hats, clothing, and more! It's a fabulous website.

The quality of every piece of jewelery I've ever bought from ShopLately is just the best. It has such a high quality feel for an AWESOME price.

One of my favorite parts of ShopLately: the sale racks.The sale racks change all of the time and feature all kinds of jewelry and accessories. We're talking $5 for earrings that are regularly $25. Or $11 for a necklace that's regularly $33. Awesome deals. They last about 3 days each time. When you sign up with ShopLately you'll get a daily e-mail of what is on the current sale rack so you don't miss out on any deals. I love it!

And did I mention that the shipping price is ALWAYS $2.99 no matter how much you're buying? It's seriously a dream come true.

A few things I'm eying on the sale rack right now:




I've been able to get some seriously fabulous gifts for lots of ladies in my life over the last few months, thanks to ShopLately. For example:

My sister-in-law got this great necklace from us for her birthday in March. When I saw her wearing it I immediately regretted not getting one for myself. I want it in red too!

A few more things I have my eye on:


I have those Chevron Earrings in Multicolored but I want them in Neon Orange! Honey, if you're reading this post today, this is my way of helping you out! I'm giving you hints and it's going to make things much easier for you, I promise. :)

Ladies and gents, head over to ShopLately and take a look around. You're sure to find something perfect for those special women in your life this Mother's Day, as well as for future gifts. Sign up for those daily e-mails so you won't miss a single sale rack. You never know what you'll find!

Now that we've got Mother's Day figured out it's time to plan what's going on the table for dinner! Or in this case, an after dinner treat. I am a HUGE fan of Chex Muddy Buddies. They're one of my favorite indulgences and I could probably eat an entire bowl by myself, if I was given the opportunity. These Chex Lemon Buddies are a fun twist on the classic treat and perfect for spring time. That zest of lemon mixed with white chocolate is just what this mama needs for an after-dinner sweet treat on Mother's Day. They're easy to make and even easier to inhale, so watch out! :)

Big thanks to Chex.com for the image!
