Thank you for assuaging my holiday shopping fears! I know homemade gifts are often the way to go and I will definitely be doing some baking. But I appreciate all of the other tips, too — I’ve got a good list going now. Now if there is someone out there who is able to help […]
Breakfast
‘Zona
Thanks for all the well wishes and understanding as I took some time off from the blog! We had a wonderful weekend in Arizona. Friday was spent with my family and Saturday was devoted to Bobby’s co-workers and holiday event. He works with some really great people and we both had a nice time. The […]
Cheers For 6 Years!
Yesterday was one of the best Mondays I’ve had in a while – November 16 is a very special day around here. Last year, it involved a 5k for the Special Olympics. Perhaps you remember this goofy video? It just so happens that this date is the anniversary of when Bobby and I first decided […]

The amazing Jessica — who I am chatting with […]

I realized this week that I’ve been using my Nature’s Pride Bread from Foodbuzz to make a lot of toasty dishes. Many of said dishes have been inspired by fellow bloggers. The first toast goes to Rose for her endless […]
I’ve Got Lucky Taste Buds (Food on Fire)
Do you know how fantastic you all are? If you’re ever looking for some cheap, quality wine recommendations, just read the comments in my last post. I wrote them all down and plan to go on a scavenger hunt 🙂 Last night at Trader Joe’s I bought “Two Buck Chuck,” so I’m on my way! […]
