Sweet Sundays: Cinco de Mayo Inspiration

Apr 27, 2014 · 10 Comments

Cinco De Mayo PartyYou guys! Time flies!! Can you believe that it is almost May…which means it’s almost time for May Cinco de Mayo. celebrated on the 5th of May!

The holiday originated when Mexican troops defeated the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. Mexican-American communities celebrate the day as a way to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy, and in the U.S. it is observed as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride…2 second history lesson brought to you by Wikipedia.

So for this weeks Sweet Sunday I thought it only fitting to share some Cico de Mayo Inspiration for the upcoming holiday. I would like every single one of these items-thanks! Stay tuned for some really delicious recipes I will be sharing this next week.

I’d love to hear from you…do you celebrate Cinco de Mayo? And what are some of your traditions?

When I think of Cinco de May I think of wonderful bright Fiesta colors, margaritas and guacamole!

  1. Margarita 7-Piece Glassware Set
  2. 2 Compartment Taco Holder
  3. Fiesta Paper Fan Decorations
  4. Rainbow Donkey Pinata
  5. Fiesta Tablecover
  6. Bull Bottle Opener and Corkscrew
  7. Authentic Mexican Lava Stone
  8. Fiesta Glassware, Set of 4
  9. Fiesta Drink Cozy
  10. Lazy Susan Chip and Dip (Set of 6)
  11. Authentic Mexican 20th Anniversary Ed: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico by Rick Bayless
  12. Frontera: Margaritas, Guacamoles, and Snacks (I personally have this book and it is fantastic!!)

Enjoy and Happy Cinco de Mayo!

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
