TWENTY SIX CANDLES

Today I am 26! 

How in the world am I going to beat year 25? I feel absolutely blessed looking back on this past year. It was certainly my best year yet {marriage, new job, and lots more}. I really don’t know how it gets any better!

Isn't it funny how much birthdays change when you get older? For example:

  Yep, pretty sure I am going to regret posting that.
Anyway, thank you all for following Carolina Charm this past year. You have no idea how much I love you all!
Cheers to 26!

A Kitchen Shower

Last weekend my mother-in-law threw an amazing Kitchen Shower for her niece {my cousin-in-law}, August, at Bermuda Run Country Club. My goodness, I have never seen so many Le Creuset gifts in one place! A few pictures from the celebration…

She loved it!

Other super cute gifts August received...

Grandmom not only HANDMADE this basket, she put all of her ingredients in it for her ahhh-maaazing chocolate cake. And yes it starts from a box!

A basket full of all the dishes you need for a Mexican fiesta! 

This "kitchen gift" came with a baby bib which sent everyone into hysterics when she opened it. {No, she is not expecting, but I think there are some hopeful family members!}

The bridey was super happy - success!

First Day of Fall {Pumpkin Dip}

Happy First Day of Fall {tomorrow}!

To celebrate, I wanted to re-share one of my most popular fall recipes - Pumpkin Dip. Pinned over 47,086 times {seriously?!?!?!}, my Fall Pumpkin Dip has been one of my top 5 blog posts, ever! Thank you for all the sweet emails, pins, and comments from my original post.

 So here it is again!

Want to make your dip a little spookier? Add a few spider rings (found here)!

Happy Fall Y'all!
