I had our evening planned down to 15 minute increments. We were behind schedule from the get go but lucked out when we were able to get seated and fed quickly. We then headed upstairs in the Epicentre to Howl at the Moon. A mean, tiny man with Subway sandwich breath came out and told…

I can’t believe she is all grown up! She is a junior at USC (University of South Carolina) so she celebrated her 21st birthday with her friends in Columbia on Friday night then came home to celebrate with us Saturday night. We all met up at Courtyard by Marriott City Center. By we…

You may not know this, but if you go to a circus that features animals, namely Ringling Brothers among others, then you support animal abuse with the money you use to pay for a ticket. So many people seem to think that it’s PETA getting all worked up. But just Google “circus animal abuse” and…

I wanted to make fun party favors for Shannon G’s baby shower so of course I decided to try something I’ve never done before and make chocolate lollipops. I found a mustache mold online and bought the dark chocolate melts at Party City. I melted the chocolate in the microwave and spooned it into the…

For Shannon G’s shower I wanted to find some fun shower games. She was not into the whole “let’s measure the Mommy’s belly” thing or the melted candy bars in diaper game (thank goodness- that just seems gross to me!). So I looked around online and found the Don’t Say Baby Game. As guests arrived…

While planning Shannon G’s mustache themed baby shower I had to decide on a traditional cake or go with cupcakes. Her favorite flavor of cake is almond (like me), so I knew I could pull that off. But making a cake that would reflect both the mustache and baby girl theme was proving daunting. Plus,…

As soon as Shannon G told me she was pregnant I started mentally planning her baby shower. I knew instantly I wanted it to be Mustache themed as she’s married to Senor Mustachio. I started looking for invitations and party goods right away. You’d be surprised at how slim the pickings are when you’re looking…

CSP & I were reminiscing about our wedding day, all the things that stand out in our memories. He stayed at his parents house the night before while I stayed with my Mom & sisters at the Hilton where our reception would be held after the wedding. We woke up and took our time getting…

Today I drove down to Columbia with Papa & Gigi to see Momo. We toured her apartment, went to lunch, then saw I am Number Four. During the movie Papa complained to Gigi that “Shanny’s really beating me up over here.” Gigi said “That’s why I didn’t want to sit next to her!” There were some…
