I am usually all about colors, neons, prints, sequins... you name it! Blame it on the wedding season this time of year, but I am loving all things white. It is so classic and timeless whether you're wearing it head to toe, or sporting a fabulous white accessory. From lace to beading, to leather and gemstones, you can NOT go wrong... white is so right.

And one of my favorite style icons who rocks this color oh so well... Ms. Blake Lively!

I will let you in on a little secret

I realize all of my latest posts have been about sweets. Sorry, I have had a big sweet tooth lately!
When I got married my aunt gave me a cookbook titled, "Every Blonde Can Cook: Two Hundred 69 Ways To a Man's Heart." You can find it here. Not sure I take that as a compliment, but their recipes have been some of my favorites. I discovered a new take on chocolate chip cookies called "Chippin' Away At His Heart." These are my husband's favorite cookies of all time which does make a girl feel good! So I thought I would share it with you. They are super easy and I have never screwed up a batch!

Ingredients
1 box of yellow cake mix (I like Pillsbury)
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon imitation butter
1 (12 ounce) bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together.
WARNING this will produce the best cookie dough you have ever had and you will be tempted to eat a lot of this but this could produce a very painful stomach ache (just know that you have been warned).
Drop tablespoon sized cookie dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

These cookies are best after they have set for a while. This makes between 2 - 3 dozen.

Enjoy!

Cut the Cake

First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our very own Danielle Goates!!!!

Now...this week in wedding planning is desserts! It's time in the planning process to pick out your cake... or not? If you opt out of a custom cake like some brides are doing these days (including my sis!) you can choose to serve cupcakes, cookies (Danielle did this too!), pies, or an assortment of them all. Again, it's all about your style! If you are having a more traditional and elegant wedding, I would stick with the cakes. There is nothing more sophisticated than a beautifully tiered wedding cake. If you do choose to try something new, see a few of these ideas below. Which do you like best?

Jar Decals Giveaway!

via

If you love/hate on pinterest like I do you have probably seen this. Its a how-to do your own jar decals. Click the "via" up there and it will take you right to it. But being me I said to myself, "Self, you could do this so much easier and sell it on etsy and be rich." I made a file in illustrator and then went to vistaprint.com and saved it as a window decal that I would cut up... Here are the results. 

The above picture looks pretty ok... but don't be completely fooled. I thought that it was going to be like an apply and peel off and only leave the actual design kind of decal... false. Its like a sticker. and I'm not in love with it but I don't hate it either! 

So now I have all these extras from my talk with myself SO if you want them it will cost you an email to danielle@sundayhatch.com and your address and they are yours! Shipping is on me! You will receive a

"TEA" "FLOUR" "SUGAR" "COFFEE" they measure about 4inches wide by 1.5 in tall. 

In other news, I found this cake dome at Home goods and love it. 

and this candle smells like Jesus. 

Speaking of Jesus...
"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross. He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him." Acts 5:30-32

Rest in the peace of the risen Savior this week. Be blessed!
