BCS Weekend Wrap-up

011

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 »

13 down, and 1 to GEAUX

LSU Post 1

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.

Resolutions…

Ooey Gooey 2

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 »

Oh, the places you’ll go….

Dr. Seuss

This blogging everyday thing isn’t going so well for the human in my life. She mentioned something about being overwhelmed with Christmas, her out of town trip to watch the Tigers win the SEC Championship game, learning to juggle her new part time job, and my recent trip to the vet’s office yesterday. Oh, did… read more »

Weekend Wrap-Up (Part One)

Monogrammed Stockings

Exhausted. The last 5 days of my life have been super busy, and incredibly exhausting. My mom came in Thanksgiving Day and we successfully got the Christmas tree up and began preparing for my weekend Holiday sewing party. Putting up the tree alone exhausts even sweet, little Lucy. It was a whirlwind of a weekend… read more »

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sweet Potato Souffle

From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! As a child, I grew up requesting my mama’s “sweet potato boats”. Basically a twice baked sweet potato, served in the skin. She would top with toasted marshmallows and a cinnamon sugar streusal. It’s still my favorite to this day. Making them on my own sure does make… read more »
