A day of cooking

I started my day off making orange cranberry bread, washed and prepped my fruit for Christmas Day, made chicken noodle soup, and finished with lime coconut chicken and coconut rice. While I didn’t take a picture of my whole day, I will show you what pictures I did take. Hit me up if you want any of these recipes, all from Pinterest! Tomorrow is…

Ahhhhhh!!!!

I have not been able to do yoga for months. MONTHS. While you don’t quite realize how bad a shape you are in before an exercise program, you sure as hell know how bad you can get when you aren’t doing one. I have tried to do yoga a few times the last few months, to no avail, all because of the vertigo, but…

Elvis was in the building!

Last night, at our beautiful Majestic Theatre, we saw Kavan perform 4 Shades of Elvis. To say that I saw Elvis in real time, is not an understatement. While I was taken to a different era, or two, the ladies in the audience were definitely transported back to a different time, their younger years, and they were living a dream through the mighty talented,…

An early morning jaunt

Have you ever heard of Crumbl cookies? Have you ever had one? Well Brooke and Avery introduced me to them last year, and the first cookie I ever had from there was a Brownie Sundae cookie. Don’t you know it was delicious and they have never had it back around here since. Until this week. It was the mystery cookie at the Dublin store…

Christmas Lights

Bill and I spent this evening going to Hobby Lobby, picked up some outdoor replacement lights that decided to die this year, a couple fun gifts for our girls, and earmarked an item I would like to go back and get when it is dirt cheap. We then had dinner at IHOP, and I drove Bill around for 2 hours looking at Christmas lights…

Random photo

Do you ever see something that just feels so pleasing to the eye, that you have to take a picture of it? I usually only get this feeling at hotels, or around fields, but I forgot unlike parking lot scenery too. I took this as I was standing at the Elks, waiting on the Rudolph Run to start. Tell me, do you find yourself…

On a day like today…

On a day like today, we all need some inspiration for the next coming year, when it is warmer. Do you have, or have you ever thought of putting in garden art? I have always considered it, and after visiting the Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham NC this past summer, I am more certain it will happen. I may have to scale down,…

Did I mention…

Did I mention to you that sometimes I like to do edits on a photo that take me somewhere different, to a different time, from a different thought process? I do, typically I keep those to myself, but today I will share with you one I did of Brooke. Brooke loves the 80s and 90s eras and this put me in mind of of…

2022-Looking Back, Looking Forward

Do you ever look back on something you have worked so hard to overcome, and you are amazed at just how far you have come? It can be awe inspiring, even though you are the one that managed that feat, spurring you on to accomplish even more, to go farther than you already are. How far are you willing to go for yourself? How…
