I adore giving food as gifts. Too many of us have too much “stuff” as it is, but something yummy and homemade? That always goes over well. I try to do something different each year, though I have my favorites. This year, I decided to go seasonal in my colors. Instead of my usual chocolate…
“That was the day she promised herself to live more from intention and less from habit” ~ amy rubin flett via pinterest One of the greatest gifts that I’ve given myself, and in turn my family, and friends is to focus on happiness. They say it takes 30 days of doing something to make it…
Y’all! Today is the last day of September. WHERE did September go? I know that we had a birthday, and I spoke at Blog Elevated (and the whole conference was amazing), and that little league started, but that doesn’t seem enough to have made the past 30 days fly by in the blink of an…
December is here, but my Holiday baking season began Mid-November.

Happy Monday, y’all! Hope everyone had a great weekend. We got a pay it forward surprise yesterday when a neighbor walked across the street and handed Nathan an envelope with 4 tickets and a parking pass to yesterday’s Astros vs Marlins game. This was the kids first ever MLB game and they loved it! The…
My goodness but this week has been a doozy. Getting back into the groove after BlogHer Food, and then having my hard drive crash and losing 3 months of photos, post ideas, recipes and memories. This past week has certainly drained me, but y’all have inspired me with your recipes, your love, and your optimism….
