We got back from Vail last night to 80 degree weather- a very welcome change despite the fact that I was still wearing my wool socks and my feet almost melted off walking to the car. Vail was amazing! I have not been to Colorado in over 20 years and never in the winter, and […]
We had an engagement party on Sunday for my sweet friend Kendall and her fiancé, Robert. It was a very casual backyard cocktail party, and we had a blast. Since we had gotten back from Disney World the night before, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to get ready for the party, especially […]
We surprised Walker with a trip to Disney World this past week. Corby and I have been planning this since before Christmas, and I was looking forward to his reaction more than to the trip. We had it all planned out- we would pick him up from school and tell him we were taking him […]
I went to a party this past Thursday night at Heirloom Book Co. for the Lee Brothers. I worked for the Lee Brothers for a week in September while they were doing all of the food photography for their new cookbook. I love the Lee Brothers- they are the best, and their cookbooks are amazing. […]
Charleston Wine and Food Festival starts this Thursday, and I am going to Texas this weekend. While I am very excited to go to Houston to see Radiohead in concert and see some friends we haven’t seen in a very long time, I am so bummed to miss the festival. Thanks to my awesome friend […]
As it turns out, my previous post about Corby not being all that into Valentine’s Day was a bit off. Corby, the sweet, wonderful, handsome, talented, brilliant man that he is, gave me a cooking lesson at Charleston Cooks! as a Valentine’s Day present. Here is the drawing in my card- it is of Meg and […]
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 […]
I love Valentine’s Day. I know that it is a cheesy Hallmark holiday, and other than getting jazzed up to help Walker make his Valentine’s for his classmates, I should just treat it like any other day, but I really love it. I really love those hearts with the sayings on them- I actually don’t […]
I admit that I am pretty slow to the game when it comes to new social media technology. I am terrified of this new facebook layout and won’t even look at friends pages that have the new layout because I don’t understand it. I don’t twitter or tweet or whatever you call it even though […]
I made Red Velvet Whoopie Pies last night to take as dessert to a dinner party. The recipe was a very simple recipe for the red velvet part- a box of cake mix, eggs, water and oil. I made two different fillers: a marshmallow and a cream cheese icing. Everything went very well, and they […]
