I don't know if you are like me, but there are certain foods that remind me of things or people. I get a little nastoglic when I think and eat them. This is so true about "my Grandad's" banana cake. Since Scott and I have been married, I have told him how much I LOVE this cake and would always add that my Grandad used to make it for me. The odd thing is I couldn't ever remember him ACTUALLY baking.  Yesterday, I called my Memaw to see if I had just made this whole scenario up in my ...

Mantel Update for Spring
How's your week going? Mine is slowly and busily chugging along. It seems my brain is in hibernation mode lately {I've been so forgetful and NO I'm not pregnant!} and the weather has been downright ugly. So to jump start my thinking and brighten my mood, I though I would add a little "SPRING" cheer around the house. I spent a little bit of time on my mantel, yesterday. Remember the clock I turned into a mirror? I'm sure it's no surprise to you that I changed it again. I like it so ...

Disney Trip 2013
We got back last Wednesday from our first family Disney trip. It was so much fun!! BUT I've been paying the price since we got back! ;) I'm still struggling with a cold and trying to catch up on work and things around the house. I thought I would share a few pics with you from our trip... Both girls LOVED the roller coasters and rides of any kind. Even my 4 year old rode the Tower of Terror...I was a proud mama! It was cold the first few days we were there, but it didn't stop us. ... Read More about Disney Trip 2013
One of My Favorite Tools
For the past 5 days, my family and I have been at Disney! It's been a lot of fun and I will have a lot pictures to share with you soon. BUT, I thought today I would share an old post with you. This is a tutorial I did last year for a bench. I have to admit I just watched my video and it's a little embarrassing...but I'm among friends, right!? {I could have at least cleaned up the garage!} ANYWAY, the tool I'm using in the video is one that I still use on a regular basis. It's totally ...

Dreaming of Spring
Spring is my FAVORITE time of year. I don't know if it's because I just really don't like being cold and I look forward to the warmer weather, or the fact that everything is "new" again? As I've said before, one of the perks of blogging is that I can look back. And dream of Spring...even if it's still a few months away. Of the time when everything is in bloom... When the girl's can play outside again... Even though I know there will be a lot of rain... (and mud!) When we can ... Read More about Dreaming of Spring
