This past Friday, I finally tracked down Kim Nelson of Daisy Cakes- she was in Nashville, TN looking at a new distribution company for her cakes and very generously took the time to talk to me. A little background if you haven’t yet heard of Kim Nelson and Daisy Cakes because the way she is […]
I was asked to write an article for Eat This! Charleston about the Lowcountry Local First Farm Tour. It was so much fun!! Corby, Walker, Nemo (our 11-year-old Springer Spaniel) and I piled into the car and drove out to John’s Island, where we met up with Ian, the photographer (his photograph is to the […]
My wonderful 8-going-on-40-year-old son Walker has recently gone on another health kick. Usually, he comes home from school and has an hour of downtime before any afternoon activities or before he does his homework. He, of course, goes right to the refrigerator to get a snack which is typically lemonade and a bag of chips. […]
With the weather so nice and summer just around the corner, we decided it was time to get back on the water, so we spent the afternoon with friends on their dock at Bailey’s Island which is out at Edisto. It was so relaxing and wonderful to hang out by the water, get a little […]
I recently was asked to write an article for a new food magazine in Charleston called Eat This! Charleston. It is a great magazine about the amazingness of the food in Charleston and all of the wonderful “farm to table” initiatives we have here. The article was on a breakfast hosted at Butcher and Bee which is […]
Walker went on a field trip recently to Bee City (www.beecity.net) as his science class is studying pollination and the different parts of a flower. He had a ball! In addition to the bee hives, they have a petting zoo with llamas, lemurs, monkeys, miniature horses, etc. The best thing though was that he came home with […]
It was over 90 degrees in Charleston yesterday. It is 50 degrees today. Other than the obvious answer of a cold front, how does that happen? I feel like it is colder Easter weekend than it was for Christmas. The one good thing about the cold. I was supposed to go to the Masters today […]
This is Alice Boffin Toft’s Bakery. I am not sure where or when we got this, but as a child, this was a favorite. It was my sister’s, and while she allowed me to play with it, I was extremely jealous, so for a birthday, I got a vegetable cart which you will see in […]
I woke up around 3 am on Saturday morning from a dream that I can’t remember but with the idea in my head that it would be a fantastic birthday present for Corby and his best friend Hank (their birthdays are just a few days apart) to go to Blackberry Farm in Tennessee. Blackberry Farm […]
I am not into basketball. I did not go to a Division I college, except that we were Division I in squash. In fact, Trinity holds the longest collegiate winning streak in history- 252 matches in 14 years. They did not lose for 14 years. I mean, that is amazing. Maybe I can get a […]
