This weekend we had a small Fall Gather Luncheon. It was a collection of girls from our (Creative Christian Women’s) Gather retreat back in April, as well as, a couple new faces.  It was a couple hours of good food, deep conversation, catching up and laughter.  I’m so blessed and grateful to have these friends. Thanks […]

Click here to read Part 1  and  Part 2. Part 3 is a (looong) continuation of the second day of our Gather Retreat back in April. Each girl had their photo taken and was primped by several other ladies and their artistic talents/gifts.  These women are just so beautiful inside and out! What a pleasure […]

A couple weekends ago Kristin, Laura, and Judy hosted a wonderful baby shower for me/Brady.  I must say props to the hostesses because Judy is due with Millie in about a week, and Kristin is a couple weeks behind me in her pregnancy, and Laura has two little ones at home!   My mom and […]

Warm, cold, or room temperature. It doesn’t matter. I can eat a peach in any form or fashion. I CRAVE them in the summertime. Especially with some vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream. I can even eat them by themselves for dessert. Mmmm… So, it was about time I made the usual summer peach […]

Last night I had the intention of using a recipe to make our shrimp and grits dinner, but I just winged it instead. I was surprisingly impressed by my efforts.  I am pregnant and was starving so there was no time for patience in following a recipe & adding extra ingredients. Here’s what I threw […]

When I got home from work I pulled out the chicken we’d grilled & the onion I chopped the night before and compiled the rest of the ingredients to make my favorite, King Ranch Casserole. It’s kind of my “go to” recipe when hosting a dinner party. The casseroles were completed and ready to go […]

Our winter garden has gone crazy!  The parsley and arugula have taken over the garden so, I gave the garden a little hair cut. I picked a big batch of fresh arugula for our salad, some chives for our baked potatoes, and some parsley  just to have on hand in the kitchen this week. Here’s […]

It was a grey, dark, rainy day. We pulled up to Benny’s Bagels and I grabbed a few props, flip my rain jacket hood over my head and made a run for it. I opened the door to a fresh aroma of freshly baked bread. Shaun, the new manager or Benny’s Bagels, greeted me warmly […]
