Five On Friday

January 31, 2014

While I'd happily take a zillion snow days, this week needs to see its end. I swear nothing sends students into a mood like a random day off, it's like pressing reset on Christmas all over again.  1. Last Saturday after a snow day (sleet day) we escaped the house to search for Jeremy a new pair of running shoes. That was a total bust, but the man randomly took me to La Madeline's for coffee...

January 29, 2014

With it being the 3rd snow day in a 7 day period, (holy sleet-pocalypse Louisiana!) I thought I'd do a little "things you may not know about Louisiana Bride" post. We have some new friends around here, so pour yourself some coffee and let's chat. Little Known Facts About Emily 1. It's well known in the family... but I am deathly afraid of lizards and snakes. I have grown to tolerate frogs, but...

Chocolate Mug Cake Two Ways

January 28, 2014

Since we've been married I've been on a mission to prefect my mug cake recipe, or maybe since I've been teaching. Some days just call for cake.  This past weekend I finally perfected the recipe, so today I'm sharing my mug cake along side my Nanny's recipe for her cake.  As far as mug cake goes I've tried everything to make it moist enough. They seem to easily dry out and...

Meal Pinning Monday

January 26, 2014

Rumor has it we should have another Cajun Snow Day this week... let's only hope that's true.  [What is Meal Pinning Monday?] MPM is how I meal plan for our little family. I once spent a lot of time searching the web and my recipe books hunting for new recipes and ideas for what to cook every week. Then, Pinterest came along and made meal planning much easier for me. Every...

High Five For Friday

January 24, 2014

Today is a true High Five for Friday! We are having what I'm deeming a Cajun Snow Day, weather below 60 and rain. It's 30, but raining... and not a thing else ha! 1. Jeremy finally had to buy us a new grill. I'm the actual griller at our house, and the handle has been wonky for ages... but I can deal with that. The issue came when our poor rusted out grill top nearly hit the ground after I opened...

Someone Deserves To Be Shamed

January 22, 2014

So, we've had a little problem around here lately.  Someone decided she had the best of ideas. An idea so good it landed me cleaning dog barf for in between the couch cushions. And once.... slipping and falling in diarrhea in a dark hallway. Y'all this dog is about to make me insane. This brings me to why I'm posting this today, my all time favorite weenie dog needed some serious Dog...

My Grandmother's Recipes: Banana Pudding

January 21, 2014

The one dessert I recall my mother making quite often when I was a child was banana pudding.  I could even point out the bowl she always made it in.  Her mother was also quite the banana pudding maker.  While Nanny could make an awesome Banana Pudding, her mother wasn't exactly the best of the best. I've heard my mother and Nanny joke for ages about how they didn't understand...

Five on Friday

January 17, 2014

It's finally Friday, and a long weekend!  Let's celebrate with a little weekly recap. 1. We surprised Pop for his birthday last weekend and had a blast, you can read about it here. 2. On my way to Vidalia for this birthday surprise I ended up in a 6 car pile up on the up ramp of a bridge in Baton Rouge. The car that started it was just stopped due to overheating, but seriously they...

A Little Birthday Cake Surprise

January 15, 2014

This past weekend we surprised my grandfather for his birthday a little early.  The band he is in plays every 2nd Saturday at the Shrine in Natchez, so what a better time to show up than right before their break with a massive sheet cake!  He's turning 75 at the end of the month. This is yet one of the many combined reasons we are going to Puerto Rico in the summer, mixed in...

What To Do Once You've Hit a Wall

January 14, 2014

We're halfway through the school year. There are also only about 8 weeks until state testing begins. Those two caked on top of each other can only mean one thing, there are a lot of parents and teachers at their wits end. These days thanks to our over scheduled world, constant social media interaction, and the mental hamster wheel we all live in life can become over done at time.  It's...

Meal Pinning Monday

January 12, 2014

Is it weird that I like weeks that have nearly nothing on the schedule except working out and cooking dinner?  Plus next weekend is a long weekend... and we could all use a few more 3 day weekends in our lives.  [What is Meal Pinning Monday?] MPM is how I meal plan for our little family. I once spent a lot of time searching the web and my recipe books hunting for...

Five on Friday

January 10, 2014

one I found a new breakfast shake love... and it saves me time getting ready in the morning. Svelte. I actually prefer the Vanilla, for some reason I am never partial to the chocolate in premade shakes. I really want to try their Cappuccino next week. two Aside from planning periods being my favorite thing, this new desk calendar from Wal-Mart is amazing. I even opted for a day planner from the...

A Waterfall, an Amish Village, and a Photo Dump

January 9, 2014

Over Christmas break we headed out to Tennessee to visit with my in-laws.  I absolutely love being out at their house and am super sad that this is actually the last time we will probably be going there before they move closer to us. Which is a big yay, but I seriously will miss where they lived in Mt. Pleasant.  The pics I took are from there house, the waterfall by their house,...
