When it is someone’s birthday at the Library Society where I work, we all sign a card and pretend that it is not their birthday until about 12:30 when we assemble for cake and then finally say happy birthday to said person. It is kind of funny since there are only about 8 of us […]

We are on day 6 with the 5 kids, and I can’t believe how smoothly it is going. Don’t get me wrong, I am exhausted, but so far, they are all alive, do not seem sleep deprived or malnourished and in general are pretty happy. I could totally handle this every day- no, no I […]
Tomorrow morning our good friends and neighbors are heading out of town for 11 days. Last week their babysitter had to cancel, so we are going to take their 4 children while they are gone. I love these kids- ages 3,5,9 and 11 (and of course add Walker in who is 10). They are exceptionally […]
One of the easiest and best breakfasts is to make a German pancake. First they are delicious, second they poof which is fun to watch at any age, but especially for kids (I am talking really poofy if you are lucky), and third you can serve it with anything- fruit, syrup, powdered sugar, nutella etc. […]
For some reason this year, I don’t feel like Valentine’s Day has been hyped or celebrated (at least in my family) at all. Maybe it is because of yet another fake snow storm that closed schools and bridges Wednesday and Thursday. Maybe it is because Corby’s birthday is this weekend, and I am focused more […]
As this is a baking blog, I am not sure if I have mentioned my preferences in alcohol. I like beer. Light beer. Ultra light beer. That’s about it. I will occasionally drink red wine and perhaps a glass of champagne, but I have never enjoyed liquor. I, of course, tried shots of liquor in […]
Tomorrow morning I am running my first ever race, the Folly Beach “Save the Lighthouse” half marathon. Here is a picture of the lighthouse- who wouldn’t want to save that! I am getting fairly nervous as it has been snowing and icing since Tuesday which means that I have not gone for a run since […]
It is supposed to snow in Charleston tomorrow. People are initiating emergency guidelines. We are preparing for total shut down for the forecasted one inch of snow. I haven’t heard anything yet about potential school closings, but I am getting prepared to have a rambunctious 10 year old home from school either tomorrow or Wednesday. […]
In the last two days, trailers for new television shows about South Carolina have been aired. Please please please do not believe that South Carolina is anything like what is depicted in these shows. The first one I saw (and I have been hearing about this upcoming show for a while) is called Southern Charm […]
This past Saturday, we were invited to a friend’s house for a chocolate making lesson which might be the best kind of lesson ever. Chefs Mark Gray and David Vagasky have started Cacao’s Artisan Chocolate in Charleston (www.cacaoscharleston.com), and their chocolate is really really amazing. They sell their chocolates in Southern Season in both Charleston […]
