1. My man had a birthday this week! In my family, birthdays mean eating your favorite foods! I served him a manly breakfast of pancakes, eggs and sausage. Paul’s favorite food of all foods is hot dogs (such a foodie, right?), so that’s what I fixed for supper along with deviled eggs and fresh fruit. 🙂 I did make my first ever two layer cake and icing – all from scratch! I’ve made cakes from scratch before, but never a layered one…and I don’t think I’ve ventured into homemade icing. It turned out deliciously! Come back Monday for the recipe. 🙂 We are headed to the Georgia Aquarium with some friends on Saturday to continue the birthday fun!
2. I had so much fun at Gracious Designs’ Grand Opening yesterday! Make sure you enter my gourmet giveaway that they “graciously” sponsored (see what I did there?). It ends Monday at 7 AM, so hurry over and enter!
3. We enjoyed a “cooler” day on Wednesday…the high only reached 82! I went out to run errands after lunch and didn’t get disgustingly sweaty, so that was a nice change. I never said I loved summer!
4. & 5. If you’re tired of seeing pictures of my kitties…wait. Who would be tired of these cuties? 🙂 I think they pose just for the attention. It works.
Have a lovely weekend and don’t forget to enter my Gourmet Giveaway!


I could dive right into that cake! Happy Friday!

Sure was good to have you back in the country in East TN!!
It’s always good to be in East TN!
Happy Friday, Whitney! Nicely done on the cake!! What a sweet way to celebrate your hubby! I hope he had a great birthday!! So glad you’ve enjoyed cooler temps this week! It’s been in the upper 70s here – so different, and SO nice! 🙂 Wishing you, your hubby, and those super cute kitties a fabulous upcoming weekend! xo
