Poolside Perfection

Poolside Perfection

Now that school is back in full swing, I find myself daydreaming of my recent week of freedom. The pool is always so serene and inviting, especially during this extra hot summer we’ve been enduring. Bliss.

Lazy on the Lake

Lazy on the Lake

Due to work, I’ve missed the past few family gatherings held at my aunt & uncle’s awesome lake house, so I decided weeks ago that I wanted to venture north for a lazy lake day of my own, first chance I got. That chance came this week, with my freedom from both work and school. [...]

Happy 95th to My Sweet Granny!

Happy 95th to My Sweet Granny!

On Monday, the 9th of August, my Granny turned 95. We celebrated a day early, with cake, other sweet treats, and lots of family. She is an amazing woman, and is as graceful and gentle as they come. I love you, Granny, and happy birthday. Many more to come! <3

Pizza Party

Pizza Party

On Saturday night we hosted a dinner party featuring homemade pizza, accompanied by caesar salad, and a tasty pecan pie trifle flanked by fresh chocolate covered strawberries. It was YUM-O! We enjoyed our company & conversation. Thanks to all who joined us! : – )

It’s a Cruel Summer

It’s a Cruel Summer

I think this is the hottest June of my life. It is not unusual to have scorcher days in July & August, but this is becoming the new norm. Everyday holds a heat index of 100-plus-degrees, and the summer has really just begun! Already, a good family friend of mine who works outdoors has been [...]

Broken

Broken

I truly baffles me that we cannot band together as Americans and bring change to our scandalously broken health care system, namely from the health insurance aspect. I am covered by not one, but TWO insurance companies, and neither one will pay for my routine physician visit from last fall. Seriously? I swear the only [...]

Reminiscing

Reminiscing

How can it be that we’ve only been home for a week after our beautiful vacation in celebration of our 4th wedding anniversary, and I am already ready to get back to the beach?! I need another one. Florida was so much fun. The beach in Lido Key was wonderful. The eateries in St. Armand’s [...]
