365 Days of Blogging the Adventures in Aimeeland
It’s Fat Tuesday, Ya’ll! And if you didn’t know, Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday. The New Orleans carnival season is the preparation for the start of the Christian season of Lent. It begins on Epiphany (Jan. 6th) complete with an abundance of parades, balls, and king cake parties. It has traditionally been part of the… read more »
This was not the post that I had scheduled. This was not the post that I probably ever anticipated writing. But there are times when life doesn’t care what you have scheduled on the calendar or what you’d prefer to blog about. Life simply happens. image via When I was really young, my mother married a man… read more »
I’ve made “Monkey Bread” several different ways. I’ve made it with cream cheese pockets and today I made it without. This recipe is by far the easiest! INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar… read more »
You can go all out for Valentine’s Day, or you can go all Aimee which is ten times easier. Due to the husband being out of town for Valentine’s Day, and rather than celebrating when he returns (hello, that’s way closer to my birthday at that point) the day for us has come and gone.… read more »
If you’ve spent any amount of time on Pinterest or Etsy, you’ve stumbled upon a zillion deviations of the burlap runner.

This time last weekend, the husband and I were in New Orleans with giddy laughter and National Championship chatter. This weekend, I’m finally rid of my sore loser attitude and comfortable with talking about how much fun we had regardless of the outcome. The outcome? I don’t want to talk about that. There are people… read more »
It’s an incredibly exciting time around these parts! It’s finally time to head to New Orleans and cheer on the LSU Tigers as they attempt to add the icing on top an undefeated slice of cake that was the 2011 season. Did I mention it’s an incredibly exciting time?? Too bad it means they’ll have to beat… read more »
I’ve wanted to do this post for 2 days now. Yet somehow I have managed to put it off, and once again run out of time. Every year, New Year’s Day comes along and presents us with the opportunity to reflect on the past (I did that) and embark on the future. After a really… read more »
