  • 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…

  • Remember the ridiculous restaurant art I showed you a little while ago?   The dude had feet for hands.  Well Gigi and I went back to the same restaurant for lunch again recently and I snapped a picture of our favorite vignette.  I totally get what the artist was going for, but when they tried…

  • 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…

  • If you are a Starbucks fan you need to download the Starbucks mobile app.  It makes it so easy to reload your card and now you can even pay with your phone!  The other day CSP & I were in the drive thru at our local Starbucks.  Before we left the house I reloaded my…

  • 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…

  • I was at my friend Christina’s house the other night for movie night when she asked me did I want some egg nog, that she could whip some up.  Wha?  Make egg nog?  I thought you just opened the carton!   Next thing I know Christina is rifling through her recipe box and pulling out…

  • CSP & I went out for our own birthday dinner celebration.  I wanted to go somewhere low key.   We love Captain Steve’s but hadn’t been in a while so we went there. I got their fabulous shrimp cocktail along with their yummy grilled chicken salad. CSP got his usual salt and pepper catfish &…

  • The night before my birthday CSP & I drove out to his parents house for my birthday celebration. We stopped for cherry limeades at Sonic on the way out.  My MIL had gorgeous sunflowers out on display for my dinner.  They had made a yummy fruity salad with a ginger lime dressing, lasagne, and my…

  • CSP is the grill master.  I swear, that man can grill anything and make it good.  I love Summer grilling because he does most of the cooking and I get to enjoy grilled veggies.  We’ve been really loving squash, zucchini, vidalia onions, and mushrooms lately.  YUM.
