Not really. But I do like that song by Brad Paisley. It’s officially flea and tick season here at our house….well mainly ticks, and we seem to be finding them EVERYWHERE!!! They give me the heebie jeebies. A couple nights ago, Steve wanted me to come look a bug on our wood floors that heContinue reading “I’d Like to Check You for Ticks”

Our Furry Babies
Yesterday I went a little camera happy with my Sigma lens and took several pictures of my furbabies. There’s just something about this lens that I LOVE! It takes such wonderful pictures, even though it doesn’t have a zoom on it, which can be a little inconvenient at times. But it’s definitely a favorite lensContinue reading “Our Furry Babies”
The Smokey House Rehab (Part 4)
We’ve made some good progress on the Smokey House rehab. For the past few days we’ve been concentrating on painting the ceilings and some of the trim. Boy has that been a painful task! Painting ceilings is super hard on the neck, shoulders, and arms. But the transformation has been incredible! See for yourself! It’sContinue reading “The Smokey House Rehab (Part 4)”
The Smokey House Rehab (Part 3)
This past weekend after all the bridal shower festivities Steve and I got back to work on the Smokey House rehab. Luckily it’s starting to smell a lot better in there after we ripped out the carpet. We’re enjoying doing the work ourselves, even though it can get really tiring. This lovely lady gave usContinue reading “The Smokey House Rehab (Part 3)”
Bridal Shower Sugar Cookies
I was a little naughty last week. My Aunt Sally sent our wedding gift a couple months ago, and I’ve had it sitting in my sewing room unopened, because after all, it’s bad etiquette to open wedding presents early! However, a few days ago I was updating my bridal registry and noticed that one itemContinue reading “Bridal Shower Sugar Cookies”
Elizabeth’s Bridal Shower
So the reason I have neglected my beloved blog this past week is because I’ve been super busy preparing for Elizabeth’s bridal shower. This was the first shower I had ever hosted, and I wanted it to be perfect! I spent 3 days making and decorating sugar cookies, cleaning, and baking cakes and cake pops.

Dad’s 70th Birthday!
Martin (Butch) Pentland is the best man I know, and last Thursday (April 21) he turned 70! My dad was born in 1941, the year that Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese. He was a teenager during the 1950s, and to this day, one of his favorite cars is the ’57 Chevy Bel Air. Continue reading “Dad’s 70th Birthday!”
Steve’s 5 Minutes as a Politician
Steve and I went to a sub-committee hearing for the Tennessee Agriculture Committee in downtown Nashville today regarding the sale of electronic cigarettes. Since we are the owners of an electronic cigarette company, of course we wanted to be in attendance. The bill was originally written to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes, but fortunatelyContinue reading “Steve’s 5 Minutes as a Politician”
My First Time Decorating Sugar Cookies
I’ve been enjoying looking at several baking blogs lately, and many of them display beautifully decorated sugar cookies. I’m planning on incorporating pretty sugar cookies into my wedding design, so I thought I’d practice on my Dad and my friend, Katie. Their birthdays are this month, and what better way to celebrate than by eatingContinue reading “My First Time Decorating Sugar Cookies”
Got Weddings on the Brain
It’s wedding season, and I’m getting married in 3 months! I’m also hosting a bridal shower for my best friend Elizabeth next weekend, which has me completely stressed out! Last night i had a dream nightmare that I had somehow forgotten about the bridal shower and everyone started showing up to my house and IContinue reading “Got Weddings on the Brain”
