We took 14 people up to North Carolina with us this past weekend, so including us, there were 12 adults and 5 children (and 2 dogs). It was a packed house, but we all had so much fun! Corby, Walker and I drove up on Thursday night which also happened to be Corby’s birthday- we [...]
My sweet son Walker finally got home from New York this week, and I have, of course, been spoiling him rotten from missing him so much. I asked him what he would like for dinner the other night, and he replied meatloaf. This was a little surprising since I haven’t made meatloaf for him in [...]
Saturday was a pretty great day. It started off with pepper jack cheese scrambled eggs and maple bacon and ended with macaroni and cheese fritters with green tomato jam, and in the middle was a fantastic day sailing with great friends and snacking on tater tots.

Last night we went to a Feast in the Field event sponsored by Low Country Local First, FIG, and Garden and Gun Magazine. The setting was a beautiful spot on the river called Dirthugger Farm with lighted Live Oak trees, Spanish moss, and a sun set that was breath taking. The food was even better. Passed hors d’oeurves [...]
