The only part about traveling that I don’t like is having to leave my sweet fur baby behind. If I could take her easily with me, I definitely would! Thankfully I have awesome friends and family who shower her with love on my behalf when I am away. But I’m always so glad to get […]

TBT to Iceland – A year later and I still can’t stop talking about it
Exactly one year ago today Marc and I boarded a plane headed to Iceland. The trip was so amazing that I still can’t stop talking about it and I am CONSTANTLY telling people to run, not walk, to get themselves on a plane to Iceland immediately. And even though I’ve been on about five or […]

Happy National Pet Day – Belated
I may have missed National Pet Day (so many “holidays” to keep track of) by one day but it doesn’t mean I love my little ray of sunshine any less.
End of an era (trying to hold back the tears)
I grew up on a 200 acre thoroughbred horse farm in Ocala, Florida. I cannot imagine a better way to be raised as a child. In the summers I was outdoors 10 hours a day. We didn’t have Nintendo and weren’t allowed to turn on the TV until the sun went down, and even then it […]
Reunited Adventurers
Exactly one year after we met volunteering in Africa, my young Australian friend Eli and I were reunited! This time she came to visit me in the Georgia. She was only here for two days as part of her world wide tour. The girl has been traveling all over Africa, Europe and the US since […]
Happy National Puppy Day!
Way back when Pooka was a tiny little puppy and I just brought her home. She’s still the same rascal now as she was then. And I love her for it.
The (free!) round coffee table
I love my new free round coffee table for so many reasons: Duh. It was free I saved it from being crushed and thrown out, so: it’s recycled It gave me a project to work on with a product I can be proud of It has opened up the space in our living room so […]
The Best Superbowl Sunday Dip: Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip
There’s a dip I’ve been making for years that I am always requested to make or bring to parties because everyone loves it, but I have one rule: I will only make it during football season. There is something about wings and football that just go hand in hand. And outside of football season, to […]
Doggie birthday cupcakes
Pooka’s 10th birthday was on Feb 1st and being the good dog mom that I am, I baked her a birthday cake. Actually they were birthday cupcakes. She’s a little thing so I thought it would be smarter to go the cupcake route. She’s a dog, she doesn’t know the difference. Pooka loves fruits and vegetables. […]
T E N!
I can’t believe she’s 10 years old today! I’ve had her since she was 10 weeks old. I love this stinking dog more than any human should love a pet. Can’t help it though, just look at her, she’s so darn cute! Ten years old and still as spunky and frisky as when she was […]
Snuggly New Year
Wine cork Christmas wreath
I’ve been wanting to make fun things out of these corks for a while but never got around to it, I was always too busy. But the corks were finally starting to get close to overflowing so I had to do something about it. I know it looks like a lot of corks but I […]

Ginger Layer Cake with Salted Whiskey Caramel
I don’t know about everyone else, but when I host people at my house I am torn between going with one of my tried and true recipes or experimenting with something new. As long as I haven’t served my go to recipe to my guests before, it’s still new to them so definitely a safe […]
