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 [...]

Walker and I have a morning routine that really never varies during the school week- I guess that is why they call it a routine. I wake Walker up at 7- we get dressed, and he goes downstairs to fix breakfast while I make the beds. Corby on the other hand, usually gets up around [...]
Now that it is finally getting warm out and hopefully staying that way, there is nothing more refreshing on a hot day than the taste of lemon. For some reason to me, the taste of lemon always seems cool. This is a great recipe for a glazed lemon bread which is really a dessert, but [...]

I am getting married in 8 days. It is amazing how fast this has gone- granted I didn’t want much time between engagement and wedding, and everything is all done- except that I still have to make the wedding cake. This is the only thing that I am feeling at all stressed about, but I [...]
I just read that over 362 billion Oreos have been sold since they first came out in 1912. That statistic is very relieving since I thought that I might be partially responsible for a decent percentage of their sales. Clearly, with that many sold- I am not. However, it just proves that there are many [...]
I came across Bayou Bakery located in Washington, DC while searching for new recipes and places I want to visit, and I think a stop here on my yearly drive to New York this summer is going to be a must!! Not only that, I think I need to own this cookbook DamGoodSweet – Desserts [...]
