Is it just me or did we miss the introductory phase into summer and we’ve entered actual pergatory with regard to our temperatures?? Holy Moly it’s HOT… Tthis weekend we were in Ohio and it was humid, overcast, and hot hot hot–and yes, of course the wedding was outside. Thank the Lord they gave us fans […]

I had a reader email me yesterday asking how I keep up my busy schedule, between work and doing calligraphy, and travelling out of town, and decorating a home, and trying to maintain events on my calendar with friends, not to mention still finding time to workout… and my answer was short and sweet: I […]

Yes, you heard me right… a giveaway from yours truly to say a huge Thank You to all my loyal readers and followers. I happened to glance down at my follower link the other day on my blog and noticed I had just reached 400 followers–which calls for an uber:big WOO HOO in my book! […]

Yes friends, another ever-important wedding decision has been made–we have selected our cake lady! I have been waiting a few weeks to declare this publicly, since we had to formalize the important details, etc/etc, but I knew {beyond a shadow of a doubt} from the moment I tasted some of Kellie’s flavors and saw her […]

In the hopes of meeting one of my monthly goals for June, I am attempting to cook at least twice a week and sample out some new recipes for our table. Not to toot the horn too loudly, but I am happy to say I cooked dinner 4 times last week and am anxious to […]

Back to Monday, back to reality… boo hoo, the weekends never seem to last long enough. On the other hand, this was one of the best 2 days I have had in quite a few months, and that’s all because I got to enjoy every moment with just Jeff and me. Friday night, we grilled […]

These are things I am really craving right now… in no particular order, of course: Flowers from the fiance–a  lovely $5 bouquet from Kroger will do the job! A massage to destress and get relaxed An extra 10+ hours in each day to get everything done A nice big pitcher gallon of mojitos to get […]
