And the saying holds true! As with most things in life, you really don't know what you cherish until it's no longer an option anymore. This past week, I almost lost all of my blog content permanently. Yes, I learned a few things in the process, i.e. backup plugins (although I'm still figuring out how to use that), I was so overwhelmed at the idea of losing all of the...
Thanksgiving is already next week, and I haven't posted on here since August. Want to know why? Because when I bake around here, I get a lot of this: Usually it also involves a lot of "helping", and definitely a lot of licking, and of course a whole lot of "I taste it". Recipes take twice as long to make, and as fun as it is to do, we end...
I'm in a huge season of "I Don't Know". It's a real struggle for me. I like things very black and white. I like something or I don't, and mostly I'm either good at something or I'm not - meaning I will then pursue it or I won't. When there happens to be an in-between, it's really not my strong suit. I kinda lose patience with myself, with everyone around...
I love to make Christmas treats. I look at recipes all year long in anticipation of which ones I'll make each year. Part of the joy of making all these treats is to give it away! One of my favorite things to do is to make gift baskets of homemade treats to give to friends, neighbors, and maybe keep a bit for myself too! This year, I'm going a little more...
I love cookies! and I love Christmas cookies! Because I love to be in a sugar coma from cookies starting December 1st through December 31st, I decided to once again participate in the Food Blogger Cookie Swap. This is my second year (and the cookie swaps second year), and it as always is so much fun. The anticipation of cookies coming in the mail is almost more than I can bear!...

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did around here. It was a relaxing day that was filled with a lot of blessings... and eating!We weren't able to be with our family this year, but Skype and FaceTime has really made a difference in technology - and I was able to have conversations with family and friends from all over the world (Washington, South Carolina, and even...
It's been a really rough week!You know the theory that bad things come in threes... well they came in four's and fives this week.Life at work was insane! It wasn't just your typical, "Oh that was a really stressful week". No, it was pretty much terrible! Lots of things going on there, one of which include the word "restructuring", and it was really hard! Then my husband got in a...
Whew.... is it really only Tuesday?? It feels like it should be at least Thursday.... I feel like I'm recuperating from last week, when Archie and I had something going on EVERY single night of the week. How do we let our schedules get that way? We keep saying we're going to slow down, and then we turn around and we have something booked for all week. This week we...
Did you know today is National Smore's Day!?!?! I think it seems kind of funny to have Smore's Day in the summer - but I guess it goes with camping. I just think of Smore's as a fall thing. Chocolate Marshmallows I had to post something to celebrate... something like National Smore's Day can't just be ignored! chocolate of every kind I've been asked a couple times to post these...
