I’m sorry for not writing for the past couple days. This weekend has been a little busy. Yesterday, I spent the whole day cleaning and hanging up new pictures…. ….such as this one of Fancy…. …and this one of our sweet Kaylee… …and this ridiculous one of Lazarus. ButContinue reading “The Patio is Finished!”

Triple Toe Loop
I had some amazing friends growing up. And what’s more amazing is that I am still very close with almost all of them today! Some of these friends were in the nursery with me at the school where our mothers were teachers. We were practically friends from birth, and we made up some awesome gamesContinue reading “Triple Toe Loop”
A Surprise in the Mailbox
I love getting real mail. You know, the kind that is delivered by the mailman? I rifle through all the junk mail, newspaper coupons, and credit card pre-approvals each day, and once in a while there’s actually a little treasure worth opening! Whether it be a note from a friend or family member, an invitationContinue reading “A Surprise in the Mailbox”
My Name is Not Amanda
After Steve and I (and the furbabies) moved to Tennessee, we changed our phone numbers to match the local 615 area code. It made us feel like official Nashvillians (not to be confused with Nash-villains). Unfortunately, ever since I got my new Nashville phone number 2 years ago I’ve been getting phone calls for aContinue reading “My Name is Not Amanda”
First Mow of the Season
Steve mowed our lawn today! The first mow of the spring season. Living in California my entire life, until 2 years ago, I never knew that you didn’t have to mow your lawn all year round. From what I think I remember, you normally have to mow your lawn in the winter in California. OrContinue reading “First Mow of the Season”
Teriyaki Chicken & Pineapple Bowls
I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for more chicken recipes. And when we don’t want to go out to a Japanese or Chinese Restaurant but still want some teriyaki chicken, I make this delicious teriyaki chicken & pineapple bowl. But if you think I just throw some chicken and pineapple in aContinue reading “Teriyaki Chicken & Pineapple Bowls”
Wedding Mania
Yesterday marked the 4 month countdown of our wedding. I can’t believe how fast the time is going by! (I apologize to all the English teachers of the world for the preposition at the end of the sentence). Yesterday, Steve and I met with our wedding venue Historic Cedarwood in Nashville to finalize all theContinue reading “Wedding Mania”
Just Ridiculous
This evening, Steve and I were hanging out on the couch doing what we do best, watching TV. The Biggest Loser and V to be exact. Oh how we love those shows! Nothing like a good alien lizard to get your blood pumping. (“Anna” on V that is, not Jillian Michaels. I actually happen toContinue reading “Just Ridiculous”
Honey Chicken
If you’re looking for a chicken recipe, this one is amazing. Steve’s mom, Toli, gave me this recipe per Steve’s request, and I have made it many times much to his delight. If I can’t think of what to make for dinner, I usually go back to this since I know it’s a winner. Here’sContinue reading “Honey Chicken”
The Pioneer Woman Book Signing
This weekend Steve and I drove 4.5 hours to Atlanta, GA for the Pioneer Woman book signing! She was there promoting her book Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, which is the story of how she met, married, and started a life with her husband “Marlboro Man.” It was a long drive, and I wanted toContinue reading “The Pioneer Woman Book Signing”
