So it’s the end of August..and I’m over it! The heat, the humidity and the sweating. I NEED fall!! This time every year(those of you who know me well, you know its a true story), I get the itch to do a dry run of my fall favorites. I don’t actually decorate for fall until… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie Bars
I don’t know about you, but this summer has seemed crazy hot. I have not wanted to do bake or cook more than I have to. Having said that, I still love to make things that are fun for summer time. These cupcakes were made often when I was a child and they are great… Continue reading Ice cream cone Cupcakes
I love being with people and I love getting to know others. I enjoy being part of a group that seeks to serve its community and always finding ways to be a blessing. I’m apart of a church that inspires me to serve others all around me and I also have the pleasure of hosting… Continue reading Serving, giving, being a blessing
Madeleine tea cakes are one of my favorite things to make to go with coffee or tea. I have started to see them pop up in Starbucks as well, and thought I needed to start making them again for something fun! It looks like a cookie that is shell shaped, but really the batter is… Continue reading Madeleines
I love looking at photos and I love taking photos (if they aren’t of me, of course) It’s a relaxing hobby of mine to dabble in photography and to craft scrape books.

Over Spring break I had the pleasure of taking my daughter Emma on our 1st annual Mother Daughter road trip. I like traditions, and as the kids get older I find myself creating new ones to keep connected to them. Teenage years I find more and more challenging to keep connected to their hearts. I… Continue reading New Tradition
This time of year, I make my yearly trip to our local strawberry patch. I love this place, it’s so relaxing to bask in the sun and leisurely pick berries. It’s mental therapy for me, what can I say. It doesn’t get any better than to end the pickling experience with a strawberry slushy… Continue reading Everything Strawberry!
If you are so blessed; you have a friend that is a forever friend. This person is the friend that no matter the distance between you, she always stays in touch. She always makes time to return your text messages and phone calls. She always calls you on your birthday and gets the family to… Continue reading She is that kind of Friend!
This past month my “little” brother got married…FINALLY. Yes, I can shout it, FINALLY! It’s not so much as I feel relieved because he’s staring 30 in the eyes, as so much as he has had a long journey to make it to the altar of matrimony. His journey to finding “whom my soul loveth… Continue reading Sweet Matrimony
