Yep – we did it again. 🙂 To say this has been a busy couple of weeks would be an understatement. I’ve taken on several new freelance projects, and while I’m really enjoying the work, the days are flying by faster than ever. It hasn’t been all work, though. Last weekend I had the chance […]

Two Pairs Of Socks
Why do golfers wear two pairs of socks? In case they get a hole in one! (Cheesiest joke ever to be told on here? I make no promises.) It took nearly 27 years and what I would estimate to be thousands of attempts, but last Saturday the big “one” finally happened for me, and it was […]
Happenings (vii)
1. Breaking news: I finally tried a new recipe last week! Though I am certain you aren’t sitting at the edge of your seat anticipating recipe posts these days, it was refreshing to change things up. Mama Bender had once made this Pistachio-Crusted Chicken, and it was so good that I had to try it […]
Books in Review: January
Since I have a fictional page goal this year, I thought it might be fun to do a monthly roundup of the books I’ve read as a way of checking in. Some books – as in anything by Rainbow Rowell – may get separate review posts, but this method will ensure I at least mention […]
Book Reviews: Eleanor & Park, Fangirl and Attachments by Rainbow Rowell

When Nicole listed Eleanor & Park as a choice for our December book club, I was really intrigued by the storyline. Although we didn’t ultimately select it, I added it to my ever-growing list of things to read…eventually. Almost […]
Sixty-Two
Yesterday, we celebrated another year of corny jokes and sage advice – and I don’t mean tips on how and when to use the herb. Although with Papa Bender, that wouldn’t be surprising. The festivities were very similar to last year, including one of the most delicious batches of Mama Bender’s Beef Stroganoff ever made and […]
Twenty Fourteen
The new year started off on the right track thanks to a breakfast made with love. These bacon breakfast cupcakes were super easy to make and crazy delicious, especially when topped with salsa. I have a feeling they’ll be added into our rotation with the brunch egg casserole. I also was thrilled to obtain a […]
Looking Back
Overall, 2013 was really good to us. We started the year settled into our new home, but had no idea just how much out-of-state adventure Bobby’s new job would bring us. We ended the year with a nice change of pace, however, and in 2014 are looking forward to exploring more of what’s right here […]
