Lemonade Stands and Lemon Trifle

Walker and his two friends have spent a lot of time this past spring working on a pushable lemonade cart so they can better sell lemonade to the masses in Charleston.  Since they have all been gone all summer, yesterday was the first day they were able to try it out.  They went down to […]

Carrot Cake Doughnuts

This past weekend we spent Friday night out at the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island- a “staycation” if you will.  It was absolutely wonderful.  I felt like I had been on vacation for a week and we weren’t even there 24 hours.  We arrived on Friday afternoon.  It had been raining the whole day in Charleston, […]

Double Coffee Tiramisu

We are finally home in Charleston, and while we had a great time, it is so good to be back.  The last week we spent up in Linville, NC getting ready for Fancy Dress Ball.  This year instead of family with us, we had some of our closest friends up to participate in the fun.  […]

The Best Ginger Snaps

The temperature has dropped to a very lovely 68 degrees, and I went for a great ten mile hike this morning.  Well, it was only supposed to be about 6 miles, but I got lost, and I saw a bear, so it ended up being about 10 miles.  The bear didn’t have anything to do […]

What to do in a heat wave?

The entire East Coast seems to be in a massive heat wave, and Twilight is no exception.  Clearly it is not as bad up here as it is in New York City where the temperature is currently 99 degrees with a “real feel” of 107.  That is not a lot of fun.  So, we have […]

Sierra’s Favorite Cucumber Soup

We spent the most wonderful weekend up on Lake Summit with a bunch of great friends before we picked Walker up from camp.  I can’t believe three week sleep-away camp has already come and gone.  Lake Summit was like camp for adults which is my favorite kind of place.  We sat on the boat house […]

Brownie Dessert

Pinterest always makes me hungry.  I love looking at the wonderful food photography and all of the recipes are great.  I did read a really funny quote from DJ Joe Kelly about all of the food photography that is constantly on facebook and pinterest.  He said: “Remember the old days…when you used to have dinner…then […]

Frozen Strawberry Daiquiris

Tomorrow is Walker’s last day of 4th grade.  He keeps saying he can’t believe how quickly the year went by. I can’t believe how quickly the year went by.  The years somehow keep getting faster.  Fortunately, while summer does seem to disappear on me too quickly as well, I am looking forward to enjoying the […]

Delicious Cream Puffs

Happy Memorial Day!  We spent a wonderful weekend out on boats and at the beach.  The weather could not have been more perfect, and I am now convinced that every tourist who is currently in Charleston wants to move here, so I should probably get my real estate license as opposed to my continuous attempts […]

Beignets and a Fun Wedding

  We went to a friend’s wedding in Wilmington, NC this past weekend.  I have never been to Wilmington, and it was awesome!  We got into town on Thursday and walked down to a restaurant on the river.  The city is so beautiful and strolling along the streets, the historic homes were so much fun […]
