My favorite female musician of all time is Patty Griffin. Her music moves me at the deepest level. She is a singer/songwriter and a master at her craft. I’ve seen her in concert several times and each show has been a unique and original experience. I first heard Patty’s music when my friend Sarah played…

Trapped in a Box
I posted this pic on Facebook earlier today. This is where poor Mrs Potato Head lives these days. I look at her and feel her pain. When I tried to come up with a quality blog post I kept thinking of her and how that is how my brain feels: trapped in a plastic box!…
Pancake Saturday {Cooking Adventures: Day 6}
Saturdays are for two things: sleeping in and eating pancakes. When I was little, I spent Friday nights at my Me-Maw’s house. Every Saturday morning she made me chocolate-chip pancakes. She would mix up the batter but she would let me help. I would scoot a kitchen table chair up next to where she stood…
The Curse of the Neiman Marcus Cookie Recipe {Cooking Adventures: Day 3}
The year was 1998, the season was fall, the air was crisp and campus life was in full swing at Union University. Our school separated the girls and boys dorms so everyone was outside hanging out in the grassy area between the dorms, enjoying the weather and the socializing. The change of season and the…
Fathers Be Good to Your Daughters
#3. Save the day. She’ll grow up looking for a hero. It might as well be you. She’ll need you to come through for her over and over again throughout her life. Rise to the occasion. Red cape and blue tights optional. I am almost 35 weeks pregnant according to my “dates” but I think…
How To Name A Baby (How We Did At Least)
I wrote a post earlier this year about baby names. At the time, we didn’t yet know if we were team PINK or team BLUE. Since then we have learned and confirmed that we are having a precious baby girl due in exactly two months! Of course we were tickled pink (haha) to learn that…
Homemade Granita: Perfect Cool Treat for a Summer Baby or Bridal Shower
You may remember last year in April 2010 I threw a pink and green bridal shower for my dear friend Amanda. Well, last Sunday I was honored to throw another shower for Amanda, this time for her first little baby girl! As I was brainstorming ideas for this baby shower, I asked the mom-to-be if…
New Music Playlist – Cold Spring, FTL please bring the Hot Summer Sun 2011 Playlist
Its high time for a new summer playlist. However, I am struggling for inspiration because I live in the land of endless winter a.k.a the Mid-Atlantic. We had snow in the forecast twice last week, yes TWICE. I need summer to get here stat. So to cheer my S.A.D. over a looooooooong December, here is…
Romancing the Rome – Ancient Rome – The Eternal City
I am sure I am going to write UNLIMITED posts about Rome. I Love Rome. End of blog. Rome was my favorite city. The food, the city, the people, the atmosphere, the ANCIENTNESS of it all (is that a word?). Rome is the most inspiring city I have ever visited. I can’t really bring myself…
