Little Boy Movie Released

All the buzz is about the Little Boy Movie. It released this weekend.  I am hearing all good things. 

"An eight-year-old boy is willing to do whatever it takes to end World War II so he can bring his father home. The story reveals the indescribable love a father has for his little boy and the love a son has for his father."

Please check out the trailer: Little Boy Movie Trailer. 

We are so thrilled for Luke Custer! Congratulations. Look out for him and enjoy the film, Little Boy. Check out this trailer.  Most exciting is that a friend of ours is in the film.

 Warmly, Carolina Mama

Bonefish Grill Fire and Ice Menu Review

Spring is a perfect time for perfect Seafood! 

So, naturally, we love to taste the latest at our local Bonefish Grill. 

Bonefish Grill Carolina Mama Review 

Date night is a pretty big deal at our home. We love taking our children on all of these culinary adventures just like my parents did.  We had a plan to take the family to Bonefish  Grill. However, this time our children surprised us! They were thrilled to sent us off for a Date Night with only one request just bring back their BEST Cheeseburgers and Fries! They love Bonefish Grill, too. 

Recently we took them up on our night out on the town, we had a pretty sweet date night to Bonefish Grill to check out the incredible new seafood menu, Fire and Ice Pots.  Look at this one, the Lobster Tail three-course meal. 

We carried on the Bonefish tradition and began with their artisan fresh bread in olive oil and fresh pepper and Parmesan. 

This is always consistently a great start to the meal and worthy of the extra calories. Just be careful, it is so good, it is known to spoil your appetite for the seafood - if you let it.

We were all in for the seafood so we made a hard decision - Ahi Tuna or Bang Bang Shrimp for appetizer.  Magically, the Bang Bang Shrimp arrived on our table. We love the salad accompaniment and convinced ourselves we were having a Shrimp salad. 

Next, was the outstanding Fire and Ice Shrimp and Scallop Pot. This was one of the most unique seafood dishes ever.  The sauce was perfect with the seafood. It all complimented each other and the grilled shrimp and scallops were the most developed flavor. Win! 

We're getting personal here - we LOVE the Fish Tacos at Bonefish Grill. So, if you've read our reviews, you know we have tried them up and down the East Coast and always LOVE them. Perfect pico de gallo and sour cream over the lettuce and grilled fish. Twist with Lime and you think you're in the Islands. Food wise, there is nothing finer than the way Bonefish consistently delivers fresh and delicious seafood. 

Have you checked out Bonefish Grill? What is your favorite dish?  Go, check out this limited time Fire and Ice Menu. Enjoy!

Warmly, Carolina Mama

7 Reasons Tieks Are The Best

Spring is in full fashion here. Sunshine, Flowers, the Birds and Bees are all shining brightly. It is always exciting to bring on the been Spring fashion!

Spring means one thing.... it's Tieks Time! We love our Tieks. Check out the 7 Reasons Tieks Are the Best in Mom Fashion:

CarolinaMama Tieks

1) Tieks are really that comfortable. Comfortable, comfortable, comfortable. Tieks were made for the in-between of High Heels. Guess what? I LOVE my Tieks way more than an uncomfortable pair of heels. One of my very favorite pair are my Cardinal Red Tieks. Fall in love also....

2) They have every beautiful color under the sun! We LOVE the variety of colors at Tieks. One of my favorite pair is the Clover Green. I love this preppy and classic Kelly Green look.

3) Tieks really are SO portable.  Here is a great Pinterest picture of the lovely Blue Azure Snake Tieks. I LOVE these. I we are these for an extra special look. They are packaged in a simple black draw string bag that is smaller than my Coach wallet I love. So drop them in your bag and walk until your hearts content. Wear your heels if you can break away from your Tieks. I never do. Okay, rarely which leads me to my next point....

4) They are Elegant. Typically, people consider Tieks as their transition shoes. For me, they are my shoes. With this beautiful Italian Leather, I choose Tieks for most of my outfits. Why torture myself when I can walk in style with classics like this.

5) Tieks are SO versatile. You can even wear them on a bike ride.  Yes, I have. They are simple and classic and no-nonsense. They only thing I worry about if I bike in my Tieks, I just don't want to "muss" them up. They are too cute to be ruined. So a quick spin to town for a date is perfect. 

6) Tieks are UNIQUE. Look at the beautiful patterns. So you can stock up on the beautiful solid colors and you can enjoy these favorites in Leopard Print. I have these and they are my go to for fun with my Black and White ensemble. You've seen before how I love a classic black and white with a pop of red, pink or gold.  Or ,voila, Leopard Print! 

7) Because Oprah's Favorite Things! Stay with me. We all know Oprah has great tastes. So, she is right about this one! I LOVE these Wild Copper Tieks. SO does Ms. Oprah.

Tieks are not your everyday $19 plastic flat. They are worth investing some money in the Italian leather. And car like this.... lol Really, it is fun to enjoy my Favorite Things, too. And Tieks top the list. I am no longer a flip flop girl in Summer. I prefer the classy comfort of a supple Tiek in one of they many beautiful colors. 

Do you love Tieks? Ballet Flats? Let me know if you have tried them.

Warmly, Carolina Mama
