Welcome Everybody! Come on in! Does it feel like a party in here? Of course, I had to put up a few decorations. Do you like the party music I have on for today? Of course, I have some refreshments for you. I finally twisted my husbands strong arm hard enough to get him to […]

January 15, 2009 by 5 Comments
It must be a special occasion, because Baker Barry has finally agreed to share the secrets of his amazing Molasses cookies. I asked him to way back when we held the auction for Nie, but he was reluctant. He has finally decided to share but asks that if any of you open a bakery and […]
Quite A Catch!–Fishing B-day Ideas
January 14, 2009 by 6 Comments
I nearly titled this post, “Something Fishy is Going On”, but I didn’t want to give the wrong impression. When we decided to spend Christmas in Utah, the one thing my husband was really excited about was fishing. Yes, in the cold. Yes, in the snow! Yes, he clearly has less sanity than I have, […]

January 8, 2009 by 31 Comments
So, in the blogging world, is it fashionable to come late to a party, or is it rude? Because I am doing it every time! But you know I hate to miss a good party, so I dash over for a little bit, anyway! Today (it’s today for 20 more minutes!), Southern Hospitality is hosting […]

January 7, 2009 by 8 Comments
This is normally the kind of thing I might reserve for my personal blog, but because it is a great idea, and because Tip Junkie told me to, I’m sharing my word of the year with you. I think Ali Edwards may have been the first one to come up with the concept of […]

I was really excited about the gifts my kids gave their teachers this year for Christmas. (The pictures really don’t do them justice.)
