“The Elvis” Sliders

I might as well declare this week Elvis Week!

I just got so inspired with those Three Olives Elvis Presley™ Coconut Water cocktails (Shake, Rattle & Roll and Tropical Bliss, in case you are interested)! I don’t know if you are aware, but Elvis had a favorite sandwich – peanut butter, banana and bacon. These adorable sliders have all those things PLUS jelly AND a toasted pretzel bun! GAH, I could eat another dozen of them RIGHT NOW. 

Oh yes, I said another dozen…

If you saw on Instagram, you already know that this week I received the most amazing planner ever made. Like EVER. It’s called the Day Designer and it’s perfect for all those planners/list makers. Well it’s really perfect for anyone who has a dream they want to come true. In my experience, it’s easy to have a dream, but much harder to find a real way to make those dreams come true. Whitney English is, to put it simply, a genius for creating this amazing tool. Seriously, it’s so worth checking out.

Ok I shall end my day planner preaching now. Back to these little guys…

This combination is a serious winner. I could easily see children flipping out over these. I mean come on, it’s PB&J on steroids essentially. How is that not every kid’s dream snack??

I know it’s my dream snack and my maturity level rarely gets above the average 10 year old’s…
