Christmas Eve is only 5 months from today! Now I know there are lots of people who cringe at the thought of uttering one line of "Jingle Bells" before Thanksgiving. If you're one of those people, hear me out. 🙂 I don't believe in skipping over the fall season either (it's my favorite!). However, I… Continue reading Christmas In July!

Getting Into Focus: Taking Pictures or Valuing Family Time?
Last Saturday my husband and I visited the Georgia Aquarium with some friends. Paul loves aquariums and science, so it was a fun way to celebrate his birthday. Of course, this is peak season for the aquarium - they were expecting 13,000-15,000 people on Saturday alone. It was pretty crowded! The thing that stood out to… Continue reading Getting Into Focus: Taking Pictures or Valuing Family Time?
Simple Summer Menu – and birthday cake from scratch!
Last week wasn't very exciting on the menu front. We ate out for two meals (a rare occurrence!) and I kept things very basic for the meals we ate at home. However, I decided to make my husband's birthday cake from scratch. I do a lot of baking, but somehow I'd never made a cake… Continue reading Simple Summer Menu – and birthday cake from scratch!
High Five For Friday!
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.… Continue reading High Five For Friday!

Organizing in the MAN CAVE
Today is my husband's birthday! Instead of writing a long post detailing my deep love and admiration for him (which I totally could do), I am bringing you a post about an organizing project I did for him. 🙂 Paul isn't a messy slob of a man. He's actually much neater and minimalistic than I… Continue reading Organizing in the MAN CAVE
{Summer Decorating} Working With Green
I've always loved the color green. Both my high school bedroom and my dorm room were decorated with shades of green and white. I shared my first apartment, but all of my allocated decorating space was covered in green - this time with pink accents. Marriage caused me to move into a more neutral bedroom… Continue reading {Summer Decorating} Working With Green
My Small Budget, Oven-Free Menu Plan!
I am really trying to spend as little as possible on groceries right now. You can't control things like taxes, mortgage bills or unexpected expenses, but you can control how much you spend in the grocery store. I chose to pick up a lot of fresh produce to round out all our meals - it's… Continue reading My Small Budget, Oven-Free Menu Plan!
High Five For Friday!
Happy Friday! I know the week after a long weekend can be tiring (especially when you work in an office), so let's celebrate making it to Friday! 1. My dad snapped this picture of the hubs and me last weekend. It's not often that we get a good shot of the two of us (Paul's… Continue reading High Five For Friday!
Accomplishing The Dreaded Chores
My Gramma was a funny lady. She hated washing her hair. Gramma got her hair cut and styled once every few weeks, and in the mean time she'd wash it as little as possible - because styling it was such a chore to her. She was even known to sleep propped up on the couch so her… Continue reading Accomplishing The Dreaded Chores
