We arrived in the Catskill Mountains on Saturday to the most beautiful blue skies and 75 degree temperature. The weekend was spectacular, and I woke up this morning to rain and 55 degrees, and that does not upset me at all. I got a fire going and turned on Wimbledon, and I think this might […]
We had some friends over a few weeks ago for a BBQ and asked them to bring dessert. It was one of the better decisions I have made because my friend brought a Creme de Menthe Bundt Cake. I had never had this cake before, and it was amazing. I love mint, mint chocolate chip […]
LAUREN!!!! I am so sorry for the late post about out winner but better late than never! I didn’t have my trusty sidekick Walker with me to help pick the winner, so Corby had to suffice. As you might imagine, he did not recreate the Hunger Games “reaping” ceremony the way Walker did last time, […]

She refused to give my mother the recipe for years which was pretty maddening […]
Still reveling in the relaxation of my girls weekend- I for some reason thought last week was going to be a breeze. I knew there were some things to do to get ready for Walker’s birthday which was on Sunday, but his party had been organized, my mom was making his cake, his dad and […]
This past weekend was girls weekend with my two best friends Marguerite and Jodie, and while it would have been a great opportunity to cook and try a whole bunch of different recipes to share with you all, that didn’t happen. The whole idea for the weekend started a couple of months ago when we were […]
CAROLINE!!!!! Walker hosted the drawing this morning before school with the help of his trusty sidekick Nemo (or the lazy dog on the floor). Thank you all so much for entering the contest, and not to worry, because you still have two more chances to win! We will be doing another cake for Father’s Day […]
We went to two weddings this weekend, and maybe that is not a crazy thing, but one of them was in Charleston and the other was in Arkansas. It felt a little crazy to me. The first wedding was on Saturday morning out on Sullivan’s Island. My very dear friend Kendall married a fantastic guy […]
