Thanksgiving has been a whirlwind the past couple years since being married. Last year we drove to Kansas and spent Thanksgiving with Brian’s grandma, grandpa, aunts & cousins. Brian’s sweet grandma passed away in February. So, this year things were a bit different for the holiday.  It was the first time in 28 years my […]

It was chilly enough outside to permit a fire. The Christmas tree was lit and candles were flickering around the house and  also along the center of the dining room table in mason jars left over from our wedding almost 2 years ago. The homemade flower arrangements were set in their places on the table. […]

Traditions… I don’t really have a lot of them in my life, or at least noticed if I do. Well, I’m gonna start a new one. It’s my first year to be married and it’s time. I’m going to make the same (and maybe more in the future) Christmas cookies every year for neighbors, friends, […]

Switch threw the lovely Childress couple a baby shower for their triplets. Yes, triplets.  Everyone in the hoffice pitched in with their talent in one way or another. Ashaun drew/painted the large “Shower” signage, as well as, the name banners (I helped cut and construct.) Kelsey made a diaper cake. The McClards’ provided yummy finger […]

One of the cookbooks I received as a wedding gift includes this easy 4 grain batter bread recipe. It called for two loaf pans, which I would have preferred to use just one so that the bread rose higher (because I had 2 different sized loaf pans. Oops.) It was pretty good, but the slices […]

I’m of course behind on blogging. I made this delicious Gumbo a couple weeks ago and I’m just now getting around to posting it.  Just a side note if you make this for two, maybe freeze about half, and the rest should feed you for a couple meals.  The entire pot could easily feed 16 […]

[Scroll down to see photos + slide show] Jennifer and Ryan’s wedding. Wow, where do I start?  It was epic to say the least. Jennifer and I go way back… all the way back to 9th grade. We just didn’t know that until about our sophomore year at TCU. We have a mutual friend that […]

I used to start and end each day with a cup of tea. Green tea, white tea, black tea, English breakfast tea, you name it.  Then I was released out into the workforce and was introduced to coffee. I now begin each day with coffee and try to end each day with a cup of […]
