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! : – )

Beautiful Spring

Beautiful Spring

This is why I didn’t get anything accomplished last weekend when it came to being productive with schoolwork. As you can clearly see, the sun was out and the flowers were in full bloom. It was warm but not hot. The sky was clear & blue.  The Cherry Blossom Festival was in full swing. It [...]

I Love Tuesday Nights

Tuesday night marks the almost-middle of my busy week, it’s when I get home early from class and make a beeline for my PJs and then camp out on the couch in front of the fire (especially nice after such a cold & wet day!). Jerry often has an awesome dinner waiting for me, and [...]

Vegan Love Day

Vegan Love Day

A week ago today, my honey & I celebrated Vegan Love Day. We made up our own holiday. We prepared a vegan feast of made-from-scratch split pea soup, fresh sourdough bread, and coffee-chocolate cupcakes. We lit candles and actually sat down to eat at the table. We cooked, we laughed, we took pictures, we talked, [...]

I alternated playing in the snow with sitting by the fire, which made for an awesome day. Jerry took lots [...]

We’re McDougall-ing, and I think it’s safe to say we are both already feeling a spring in our step. I sleep better at night, and we’re both jazzed about getting [...]

Anniversary Trip, Part 2

Anniversary Trip, Part 2

We got up early and braved the rain to grab some coffee & do some shopping in Savannah before making our way to our second destination, the lovely city of Charleston. The weather was far from perfect, but in truth it didn’t slow us down much at all. With Starbucks in hand (piping hot Awake [...]

Anniversary Trip, Part 1

Anniversary Trip, Part 1

Our first stop was Savannah, and we had an amazing time in this eclectic little coastal southern city. We dined Paula Deen style at her awesome restaurant, The Lady & Sons, and let me just say we left fat and happy. We then attempted to walk off some of that delicious food by strolling along [...]
