Last night was Kitchen Queens and the theme was Derby Night with Southern Food. We all dressed in dresses and derby hats. I had the hardest time finding a cute hat....until we hit TJ Maxx in Little Rock earlier this week. Wow, they had some awesome hats! However, I didn't realize how expensive those things were! One was on clearance for $160!! Mine was a deal at $30...it was a polyester blend:).
Check back soon! We have a big weekend coming up! Today my friend Amanda and I are taking the kids to the Fayetteville Botanical Gardens...hoping to get some good shots! Tomorrow, lake, and golf tourney...yes, I said it, I'm playing in a couples Grill and Chill Tourney...scary, Sunday....not sure yet....and Memorial Day, MORE LAKE...WAHOO!
I first planned on making Fried Green Tomatoes from a Paula Deen's Cookbook...then I realized there are NO green tomatoes to be found in Rogers...I mean, NO WHERE! So I switched to Fried Okra...from my mom's recipe book! I thought I burned it, but turned out everyone liked it..thank goodness!
Here is a picture of the beautiful table at Kim H.'s house...she is awesome at decorating and party throwing!!:
Here is my friend Amber and I...she really wore this hat to the derby;)!
And here is 
The Queens!
And now for an update on the game room! I've had lots of people ask about it so here is more information. Haven't made too much progress yet, but I have bought a couple of items to go in it. Right now I'm waiting on a painter to come and get started. In the meantime, I'm collection some things that Kirsten told me to get.

First of all, here is a pic of the game room we are working on. BLAH! Can't wait to get some color in here!
These are some pillows from CB2...a store I had never heard of before Kirsten...its owned by Crate and Barrel...but cheaper.
Here is a screen (IO Metro) that is going to divide up the room a little better.
And this I LOVE!! Mirror from IO Metro...Not sure where it will be hanging, but I just love it. If you've ever been to my house you know my taste is really traditional, so it's been fun buying this modern stuff! Changing it up in the game room!
