WIWW: NCAA Tournament Edition

First of all, my bracket is toast. My South region is a mess, and worst of all my mom is beating my dad and I. (She is definitely letting us know about it too!) We're supposed to be the basketball pros, and here she is whipping our tail. (Love you Mom!)

If you want to read about my tournament experience, you can find it here!

Wednesday's mean that I link up with the Pleated Poppy to show you my outfit! Today, I wanted to show you what I wore during the NCAA Tournament in Pittsburgh!

I wanted to look cute, but sporty. I didn't really have any affiliation to the teams that we saw, (except Butler. Along with Duke, I love me some Butler basketball!) so it wasn't necessary for me to wear a shirt with a team name on it.

So I wore my ESPN shirt. My shirt read "ESPN YES, YES, YES!!" The back of it read "Yes I'm a woman, Yes, I know the game, Yes I watch ESPN."

That shirt could not have been more perfect for me. I paired it with jeans, and my red tennis shoes. Now, I find it a fashion faux paus to wear jeans with tennis shoes, but for this occasion, it looked good, and turned out being a really cute outfit!

Again, another outfit photo with no shoes!

Outfit Details:

Shirt: ESPN Zone in Baltimore
Jeans: T3 from Lane Bryant
Shoes: Avia from Wal-Mart

This was a simple way to look cute and sporty, while still cheering on the teams! I would definitely wear this outfit again, even to get groceries in!!

How would you dress for a tournament game? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness! In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...

It's Been Awhile...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough. I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here! I...
