After holding off on all of the pre-Thanksgiving Christmas ruckus, I was able to allow myself to give in (happily) the day after Thanksgiving. We “kidnapped” my youngest sister Taylor on Thanksgiving and she helped Johnny and I put up the lights outside. Later, she and my other sister Sarah along with friends Melissa and [...]

How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was pretty nice. Of course, every year we find ourselves shuttling from one house to another to share in the festivities with each of our families. This requires packing a lot of food and driving into our day but it’s totally worth it to spend time with the ones we [...]

We want to wish everyone a very happy, safe and full Thanksgiving!

- My husband and wedding this year, the fact that we were finally able to get married!

These sound really healthy, and they are - but they are also really delicious. And I’m not just saying that to trick myself into thinking that some bland dry muffins are actually tasty. They’re sweet and moist! Seriously - these are really good. Great for the season, too! I took the recipe from Green Lite [...]

What did you say you wanted to be when you grew up? A doctor? An astronaut? A firefighter? Did these dreams for your future change when you got older and carefully contemplated your interests in hopes of determining which profession you would pursue? That seems pretty typical, right? When I was a kid, I wanted [...]

On of the things that excites me about the upcoming holiday season is the fact that we get to be grown-ups and send out family Christmas cards. So, with the camera and tripod in hand, we headed up to Mill Mountain to take advantage of the scenery as a backdrop.
Let me just say, I had [...]

We woke up this morning to find a dusting of snow on the cars and in shaded spots around the yard. Old Man Winter is making his grand entrance for the season!
Come back soon, snow. Bring more next time!

I love our closet. Not only does it give us plenty of room for our clothes and shoes, but it also has enough space for us to store some of our little-used/seasonal/miscellaneous belongings. When we moved in, the top shelf seemed to lack some of the strength necessary to hold a lot but being the [...]
