Buckhead Betty ... on a Budget: Guest Post: Lifestyle Maven

I am so grateful for Cailen at Lifestyle Maven today -- she has agreed to guest blog for me while we are down in Florida! I love Cailen's blog. She has such a fab sense of style. She may not be a local Betty, but that doesn't matter, because her posts make you feel like you live right next door. Be sure to leave her some blog-loving here and over on her main site, too! XOXO, KJM

hi there! my name is cailen, and i write over at lifestyle maven. a blog about good food, good drinks and living the good life. katherine was sweet enough to ask if i would write a guest post for buckhead betty while she's on vacation in warm, sunny st. augustine, florida. though i'm jealous of her good fortune, i was completely flattered that she thought of me : )

ok, so when thinking about what to write, a few ideas flitted through my mind. perhaps a recipe or a spring wishlist. but nothing was sticking. i finally settled on writing about a few things i love. simple things that enrich my life and make me happy. i always enjoy when bloggers share a bit about themselves...so here's hoping you do too!

1. craig & olive

our dog baby, olive

craig, my handsome fiance, and our little dog, olive, never fail to make me smile. the three of us enjoy our happy home (actually a little cottage) in bucks county, pa...not too far from philadelphia. life is pretty sweet : )

2. happy hour(s)

our favorite happy hour www.ilovebobbys.com

my favorite cocktail is a vodka, st. germain and champagne martini. (it's actually going to be one of the signature drinks at our wedding this november!) st. germain is a completely delicious french liqueur. it has a sort of pear flavor and makes everything taste better. can't wait to try it? you can watch me make (and enjoy) this lovely cocktail {here}.
