2 fun days of cooking and entertaining this week and I thought it would be fun to post some crowd pleasing recipes that are sure to impress the senors as well as mommy dearest… Cinco de Mayo Favorites Pico de Gallo and Guacamole via Tasty Kitchen Poblano Chicken Chowder via Paula Deen Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits […]

In the everyday mundane world of so many ups and downs, I think it’s absolutely necessary to pay attention to the GOOD we have occupying our lives…why do people choose to focus so much attention to negative? That I’ll just never know {and likely never understand} but you can’t sit and be a worry wort […]

Hello friends and happy mid-day Monday to you. This weekend was one for the books…through travel and lots getting completed, Jeff and I still managed to relax and spend time together soaking everything in and enjoying each other’s company, just the two of us. Friday night, we took it easy–cooking dinner, sipping on a glass {or […]

Short and sweet, just like what I’m hoping work will be today… My friends and colleages at work are throwing a shower for us during lunch–cannot wait! Jeff’s coming to join in on the fun, though bless his heart he just doesn’t like the opening presents in front of people stuff. We’re heading to Atlanta early […]

Yes, I gave in and managed to wake myself up at the crack of dawn this morning to watch Wills and Kate tie the royal knot! Let me mention that it was HILARIOUS at the gym this morning with every TV tuned in for the blessed event and even all the hard core bodybuilder men […]

After yesterday’s horrific tornadoes and storms hailed through the south, I had the worst feeling in my stomach…feeling of sadness for those who lost everything–the people they love, the house they call a home, their normal way of life–and all I could do was thank God for His many blessings and for watching over my […]

Alright, first of all, I loved all of your funny comments and antics yesterday in reference to my “annoyances” post… I find it funny that so many of you equally loathe Leann Rimes and that though we’re excited about the royal wedding and seeing the new Princess Katherine, the national news has gone haywire over […]

Not much annoys me so much that I have to publicize it out loud via blog, but I fear as though the time has come to do so… 1. The Royal Wedding…Otherwise known as the only newsworthy story to report as of now. Forgive me, but what about the devastated people of Japan, the people in […]

That seemed to be the theme for this weekend…rest and relaxation, and lots of it. I told Jeff I didn’t want to plan much of anything–I wanted a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of time and that’s exactly what we did. Friday night, the boy cooked us a marvelous dinner…grilled mahi and steamed mussels and it was fantabulous–he assures me […]

Happy and blessed Good Friday friends! I can’t believe Easter weekend is here…happy for those of you who get to enjoy this day off in celebration, but for those of us who have to work, I know we’re all trying to make the best of it. This weekend in Nashville looks very promising…more sunshine and spring weather with lots […]
