…is the perfect day for an indoor picnic and movie. I love these two. And I love that they wanted to sit right next to each other.
Dinner Tonight: Stew
I’m not a big “stew” person. My dad looooooves stew…I’ve always thought it was chewy and blah…until now. Almost two years ago (when I was 9 months pregnant), I got to craving me some stew, so my mother-in-law sent me…
A girl and her (borrowed) dog
I have a sad confession to make…back in July, Tulip went to live with another family :(. At first, it was a temporary trial arrangement but they fell in love with Tulip and we fell in love with not having…
Bundt Cake #16: Red Velvet
I made this for my husband and his family. My husband ate his first piece and then called me the Devil. That’s because he went back and ate at least 3 more pieces. If you like red velvet, you’ll looooooove…

Chocolate Monkey Bread
I found this recipe in the 2010 edition of Paula Deen’s Holiday magazine. I’ve made it many, many times over the last 12 months. This is the perfect Christmas morning breakfast (hint, hint Mom!!). I’ve also made this for girl’s…
Dinner Tonight: Roasted Florentine Meatballs
Roasted Florentine Meatballs…sounds fancy, right? It’s not. These yummy little meatballs can be made in a snap and changed a million ways. We love spinach in them but if you’re not a fan, leave it out. If you prefer, shred…
Sittin’ with Santa
Tonight, we took the kids to the Galleria to sit in Santa’s lap. They were P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S. This year was so easy that it kind of went by as a blur. We walked into the mall and right up to Santa…
Peppermint Sugar Cookies
Aren’t these cookies cute?!?! I’m not going to lie…when I bake stuff for the blog, I usually have a bite (maybe two bites) but when I made these cookies, I had four cookies. FOUR. They are just sooooo good! They’re…
Set your DVRs…
…for Michael Buble’s Christmas Special tonight on NBC. (You guys know mine has been set for a month!) XOXO,
Dinner Tonight: Brisket in the slow cooker with smashed potatoes
My mom likes to pretend like she isn’t a cook. It’s a lie. She is a fantastic cook and brisket is one of her specialties. This is the most basic brisket you can make. It’s a no-fail, one hundred percent…
Christmas Cheer!
All of my friends have taken their kiddos to the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Resort this year to see the Christmas lights and since Lovie and Papa Jay live right next to it, we decided it would be foolish not…
