Radio Silence

Wow, has it really been a month since I last posted?  Bad blogger, bad.  Life was so so busy in November, but I am back and have much to share with you.  Since we are already into December, I will share a cheery, festive holiday photo collage with you. These were taken in downtown Franklin, … Continue reading »

Spinach & Artichoke Pasta

Spinach & Artichoke Pasta

Well, the cold has finally settled in Nashville, and I could not be more thrilled! I love summer weather, but it has its place … and that place is definitely NOT in November. With the cold comes the comfort food to warm our bellies.  I saw this recipe on The Pioneer Woman Cooks, and true … Continue reading »

Happy Birthday, Toby!

Happy Birthday, Toby!

This weekend, our dog boy turned 10 years old! We celebrated him by baking his favorite Peamutt Butter Treats, sang him “Happy Birthday,” and had a nice long cuddle in the big bed. I never thought I would be a dog person, and until Toby came bounding into my life, I wasn’t.  Man oh man, … Continue reading »

Butternut Squash & Bacon Pasta

In my search for fall recipes, I came across this one from Williams-Sonoma and just had to try it!

We’re Runners Now

We’re Runners Now

Well, folks, it’s happened. We have officially become those crazy people who actually enjoy running. I never thought I would live to see the day when I could say that about myself, but it’s true.  When Doug’s parents were here in town for our wedding, his dad bought us this Nike watch that he uses … Continue reading »

Never Too Much

Never Too Much

I mentioned here that one of my favorite things to collect is Fiestaware.  I love setting the table with mixed and matched plates and bowls…it’s such a happy, colorful sight!  If you ask my dear sweet husband, however, he will likely tell you that I have too much Fiestaware.  But can you ever really have … Continue reading »

Mystery Mail

Here’s a little fun fact about me: If I am expecting a package that has a tracking number, I am obsessive about tracking it.  Like clicking refresh on FedEx and UPS websites multiple times a day kind of obsessive.  While I do find it interesting to see the path that my packages take en route … Continue reading »
