Blogtember: 5 Photos

September 30, 2016

A few days ago the topic was 5 Photos That Describe Your Year. I'm late to the party but let's round off the month with this! Oh, and just FYI I went with 6 and could have easily used 20. First off, this particular recipe has been super popular on my blog, Pinterest, and in the Whole30 community. It's a favorite of mine too, and I'm thinking of making it next week. Here's the link >>>...

Today's topic:: Something that made you laugh or cry recently? Y'all know I'm not about crying, too much to cry about to bother with it. So here's a few things that made me laugh. Now for my favorite, I wanted to post the whole Larry King Reads Mean Tweets but was unable to find it. Instead here are two of my favorites. (I would have posted a video that had them in it but it had...

Instead of just sharing one recipe, I thought'd I'd post the pinterest board where I share my recipes from this site. I'd say about 90% of my recipes are family recipes, and most came from my grandmother. So browse around, pin a few, and if you really love pumpkin make my Pumpkin Better Than ... Cake. ...

Today's Blog-tember topic is: Something you wish more people knew or believed. I'm just going to talk about right where I'm at in life now. I'm on my 8th year of teaching, and for 6ish years of it I was constantly told that if I were a mother I'd be a better teacher. As if suddenly you have compassion for kids because you were in labor at some point. One year I even had a parent yell at me over...

Today I'm listing my favorite blog posts, and since my main focus for the majority of my time blogging has been food I'll share my top 5 favorite posts from my recipe vault. Enjoy! Oh and true story, I thought I'd share more than breakfast recipes... but I'm just sharing my favorite breakfast recipes. It's my favorite meal of the day. 1. Coconut Apple Breakfast Bowl This recipe is a Whole30...

Today's topic is to list one product that simplifies your life. Is it weird to say that I'm having trouble thinking of it? Forget it, I'll go with two and explain why... In the event you blogged pre-smart phone & data plan, you'll identify with this. Back in the day if you had a post due for a company or for an affiliate company life BlogHer you had to wait until who knew when you get on...

So true story, I'm not doing the vlog day. I just don't have time to do it today. Although It would be interesting to redo the accent vlog from 5 year ago to see if I've been overtaken by the Cajun accent yet or have stayed true to my Southern girl roots. On to today's topic, de-stressing, it's my favorite. What better day than today to write this, Jeremy actually surprised me with a massage...

Today's topic is:: What's the craziest adventure I've ever been on? That would have to be in time in Naples, Italy. Which also includes getting there and leaving. It was just nutty overall. We missed our train due to miscommunication, then were threatened to have the cops called while we all sat in a train station because there was such an issue with protesting that it wasn't safe. We went...

I've stumbled all over this one today trying to decide who I'd swap with. I'm going with my obvious choice though, The Duchess of Cambridge. (source) I've always been intrigued by the royals, so stepping into her shoes would be interesting. Especially on a off day. Catherine's day without a press opportunity for a charity, just at home (albeit a pretty grand home) with her kids. I'd...

I put this post off from Saturday until today because, honestly you don't care that I swept and then took a nap at some point... and possibly figured out a way into Ulta. So here's today... so far. 6:00 - Wake up, shower, makeup, and figure out how much dry shampoo it takes to look like I washed my hair recently. 7:00 - Make breakfast, tested out a compostable coffee...

September 11, 2016

Day 11 of #blogtember and today's topic is favorite instagramers. I thought I'd take a #ff (follow friday) vibe and pick 4 people who I love to follow. @mrskellystamps :: I've been following her blog since Harper was a baby and in the hospital, she's such a great woman of faith and it's so fun to see her adorable Southern style. She has always stuck to the way everyone blogged back in the day...

I'm swapping today's post (a day in the life) with Monday... there isn't much that happens on a Saturday. So it isn't really a true day in the life. So instead, we talk books. READ >>> The last book I really read was Eat Dirt and I loved it. There was a lot about gut health and how we try to over purify our environment. Basically, eat more dirt. Use less GermX. Simple. READING >>>...

I skipped yesterday, there just wasn't time to photograph the house, but trust me you aren't missing my scarcely decorated messy house at all. So onto the next topic, travel. I know a few people that won't be surprised to read this, but... I wish I had photos from the last time I went, but that was way back when you didn't automatically get a CD when you printed your disposable cameras. I'll...

Today's #blogtember topic, obviously from the title... 5 Things That Bring You Joy. I'm pretty easy to please, and pretty inexpensive to please, as you'll see. I tell Jeremy all the time he should be thankful he married someone who doesn't tote an expensive bag and need fancy things. The simple things make me happy. 1. Reading or watching documentaries about monarchies. Particularly the British...

Today's topic is to create a playlist of your favorite music, I'm going to go with my top 12 all time favorites... because CDs only held 12 songs people. I refuse to upgrade my system. See also, I'm not wasting precious iPhone space with music, it's all pictures all the time. On to the music, in no particular favorites order. 1. Criminal - Fiona Apple 2. 1999 - Prince - because we danced the...

I couldn't decide if I wanted to write about the ten or so birthday parties growing up that I ultimately hated, nothing against my mother... it's that dang song. Or that one party that was rained out and some parent suggested we tie balloons to our feet, everyone try to stomp them out, and the last man standing one. I hid under the table screaming my head off, I was 5 at the time. I can even tell...

September 4, 2016

Summer Favorites

September 3, 2016

Today's post topic is to list your favorites from the summer, so in no particular order here goes our list of what we did this summer. I (with lots of help from Dad & Jeremy) started a garden. We maybe got 5 tomatoes and 3 zucchini out of it... but my shallot, green onion, and basil growing skills were good. I wish I could have found the pic of Harrison eating figs...

I'm late to the game, but I recently saw a few blogger friends doing this and thought it would be perfect. Especially since I've been wanting to do a back to blogging basics theme for 31 Days in October. So let's bust out the first two days of Blog-tember! About Me If you're new around here I definitely haven't done...

Chicken Fromage

September 1, 2016

I dug out another of Nanny's recipes last week for dinner. I made a few changes to this one though, mainly so it fit my tastes. The original recipe called for Grouper, but chicken fit it perfect without the fish taste I so despise. I used my beloved Gordon Ramsey method for cooking the chicken before adding the fromage topping. Which, by the way, the leftover was amazing on...
