Are you ready for some football?!

Yes we are and today's the day!  Preseason is upon us baby!!

Football season is upon us folks!  Seahawks game days are special holidays in this household, even the pug participates!  Can you see this?

I die from cuteness!

Have you ever heard of the 12th Man?  Well, you should probably take note now of who "he" is.  He is every single Seattle Seahawks fan- you, me, Grandpa Jo nevermind, that's Willy Wonka, , everyone!  Did you know that Century Link Field, Home of the Seattle Seahawks, has had the highest average of false starts since 2005?  Yeah- serious business!  You can read more about this stadium that challenges the noise of a Boeing 747, here!

The 12th Man is serious.  In Seattle, we may not have the biggest, baddest team that money can buy, but we will beat you in heart and noise every time!  There is a 12th Man flag in the stadium, the Space Needle flies a 12th Man Flag and they even have their own jersey!  Now, if you choose a 12th Man jersey instead of a player we might make fun of you *tourist* but we will applaud you when you bleed blue and green!  Want to know more about our beloved 12th Man?  Look no further!

In honor of the holiday football season commencing, my beloved Husband created a tailgating feast!

Fire-Grilled Artichokes inspired by Crockett's Public House as seen on the Food Network's Dinner, Drive-in's and Dives!

And of course no tailgating event would be complete with the Seattle Dog!  This is no ordinary hotdog!

Seattle Dogs are comprised of a grilled bun, sauted/steamed onions, cream cheese (crucial) and the hot dog!  These are especially good at tailgating events or after 1 am.  Vendors can be found all around the Pioneer Square area or really outside any good bar or club.  

Feeling adventurous?  Add any one of these to kick up your Seattle Dog experience:

• Bacon - um, yes please!
• Jalepenos
• Ketchup/Mustard
• More onions
• Pepperchinis

The world is your oyster, er hotdog?, people!  To infinity and beyond!  All that jazz!

With our first win in the bag the 12th Man momentum is strong- feel free to jump on the bandwagon now!

Until next time... ca caw!

Cara Box Reveal!

I know, I know... I'm a little late!  Have you read my post on how amazing I am at procrastination , here?  Well I'm pretty much a pro and then you add forgetting my box at work, a full weekend and Monday sick.  Yep, I'm awesome.

                        Anywho...

What's a Cara Box you ask?  Well let me tell you! It's pure awesomeness all wrapped up in a flat rate box!  Ok, so it's a little more than that...

Cara Box is a gift exchange of sorts where you get paired with another blogger (or non blogger, yes- there's a special place for you too), you learn about them and then send them super fun stuff!  There is a different theme each month to spark your creativity!

This month I was paired up with Abby and Brittany!

Abby is pretty much dripping of sweetness and as a Preschool Teacher, it's pretty fitting!  Abby and I hit it off instantly and now gab like we're old college buddies!  Love it!  Abby blogs over at Always Abby- cute name, right?  I learned that Abby is a living in complete newlywed bliss and you can completely see it by the way she talks about her husband.  Seriously, so cute!  Also, Abby has a love for teapots that I totally capitalized on.  Check out the Cara Box I sent her, here.  I think she kind of liked it?  There is all kinds of goodness on her blog from awesome activities for Teachers, Sunday Social link ups and so much more!  Go check it out and don't miss her 25 before 26!!

Brittany blogs over at Adam-N-Brittany, Life in Dixie!  It was so great getting to know her.  This lady has a pretty fantastic blog if I do say so myself- and I do, so check it out!  Brittany and her Hubby moved to the South from Southern Cali and her blog explores that journey, her bucket list, travel and some awesome recipes to boot!  She was very sweet and completely knocked my socks off with what she sent me!  I'm one lucky girl!! 

And now, my Cara Box goodies!

Aren't you jealous?!  You should be!!  I mean can you see this?

And this?  

And seriously.... I die.

Brittany's gifts were so thoughtful and creative!  How did I win the awesome partner lottery? 

Do you Cara Box??

Until next time...
