These Three Things - Peas and Crayons


Hey y'all! It's time for my new guest series again - These Three Things! This is seriously becoming my favorite day of the week! Today we have one of my blogger besties here, Jenn from Peas and Crayons! She is not only the greatest cook alive, but she is super gorgeous, absolutely hilarious, and sweet as can be! She really is the total package, but don't hate her for it. ; ) Y'all are going to LOVE her!! It'll be total girl crush at first sight. Promise. Jenn, you're up!

Hookay so today the lovely Miss Mackey is letting me take over her blog.  
She has no idea what she has gotten herself into! Muahahahahaha!
I kid I kid! <3 

So today I'm here to talk about the three [FABULOUS] things that describe me best. Isn't this the perfect way for us to get to know each other? I think so! I expect all you lovely ladies to comment with your 3 things in the comments section at the end of this post. So I can get to know ya!

Anywho! Let's do this!


1. My "Toolkit"
This describes me to a T. A little artsy fartsy [notice the paintbrush?], a little glam, and a whole lotta foodie! I wouldn't have it any other way! While my friends like to picture me wearing shades while painting an apple hot pink... it doesn't quite go down like that... No. There's usually some hot pink glitter involved when THAT happens =)


2. My Veggie Garden
Besides the kitchen, this is totally my happy place =) I move all the gosh darn time thanks to my Marine husband so my little leafy babies have to spend their days in pots so they can travel from place to place with me. Last year I was especially attached to my buddy Hal the Jalapeno Tree. He made the trip from Pensacola, Florida to Jacksonville [J-Vegas!!!!], North Carolina with me.


I'm a total hippie at heart and I love watching my little leaf babies grow up big and strong. Mainly because they grow food. Food that I get to EAT! It saves me money, keeps me healthy, and makes for colorful eats in the peas and crayon household. It also leads to really pretty recipes for the blog! Win-Win-Win situation here! Haha!


3. My Camera
I almost never leave home without it! This beat up little point and shoot has been with me for YEARS and It still works like a gem! I dream of the day I can upgrade to a "big girl" camera but for now... this little darling is capturing all my memories, recipes, and smiles each and every day =) I love it. So So much!

So there you have it! <3
I'm a little bit glam, a little bit hippie, a LOTTA bit foodie with some arty fartsy for good measure =) 

What would your 3 items be? I'm dying to know!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is she not the cutest thing ever? So hilarious, right??

Jenn, you rocked it total P&C style! I love that Hal has basically traveled the world with you! I can't wait for our slumber party in October...I expect lots of delectable treats! : ) Thanks for being here today!!

Love, love!

PS: I'm guest blogging over at Katie's blog today about my summer must-haves, dream versus reality. Go and check it out and let me know what y'all think. I think I was pretty clever, but that's just me. ; )

Michelle said...

YAY Jenn! Love you J! I love your "tool kit". We so need to cook together. I'm more a baker, but I think I need your expertise in my life ;) Although, I'm not a jalapeno fan, I do love Hal and that he traveled with you.

I can't wait for our slumber party, you both are amazing. LOVE YOU BOTH!

Young and Fabulous said...

This is amazing because Jenn, I seriously picture you singing and dancing while you cook. Like, I imagine you being the happiest person ever, rockin' out to some hip hop music while you stir a pot and decorate your plates.

I LOVE JENN!

Ahh! Jenn you are the cutest! Your utensil holder looks like me too! Lotsa food with a lil glam and artsy in there too. :) And I'm jealous of your little garden. I really need to get started on mine before it gets too hot. And completely random, but we have the exact same camera!! I just upgraded to a nicer one, but we still keep the Canon around as a back up. It really is a great little camera. :)

Also, Megan, I love your blog. Seriously. You and your husband are crazy adorable! :)
