Last night was the last big landmark before Adam and my wedding November 28… Adam’s sister got married! It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony in a gorgeous gazebo. The weather was iffy most of the day, and just before 5 p.m. when the ceremony was to start, the clouds cleared, and we were met with [...]

Nope, I’m not infallible. I don’t always make meals that are fantastic. In fact, today was a downright FAIL. At 5:30 this morning, I put a chopped up onion, a lean pork loin, ketchup, diet coke, garlic, and hot pepper in the crock pot to cook for 12 hours in the hopes that I’d come [...]

The only thing stopping it from being FANTASTIC was the everlasting stuffy head and cough that just won’t go away! Oh well… I went to bed early last night, which then caused [...]

The original recipe was quite simple and delicious when I made it the first time, but I couldn’t help [...]

I have to brag for a minute. <brag> I did NOT want to go to Jazzercise tonight. I was tired, it was gorgeous out, and all I wanted to do was sit outside and read a book. But, JUST in time, I saw a message from Stephanie at Back In Skinny Jeans that said something [...]
