Yesterday was an absolutely gorgeous day -- the perfect day to do something I'd been talking about for awhile. I rolled down the windows, turned up the tunes and went out in search of the perfect country road to practice my photog skills (or lack there of).I took about 100 pictures, but only ended up loving 7. Is that normal? Oh well, I'm still learning.I felt a little dorky just pulling over and walking down the road with my camera in tote, but lucky for me, there wasn't a single passerby. ...
Better than a…
Remember that game we used to play in college…"xxxx xxxx, xxxx xxxx, better than a xxxx xxxx"? Just humming the tune takes me back to drinking Natty in the Sigma Chi basement with the checkered floor. Oh the good old days…sighhhh. Well, we brought it back this weekend. That should give you an idea of how our few days with Adam and Whitney went :)Friday was a girls day and it was just what I needed. Pedicures, lunch and Nordstrom Rack. Does life get any better? It was great to spend some ...
What’s Happenin’
It seems like there's a lot of exciting stuff going on right now...so why not write about it?Whitney and Adam get here tomorrow! I literally cannot wait. I've never ever spent time with these two when we didn't have a blast. Plus, we're not the only ones they're coming to visit...Adam's sister is Lauren...you know, the Lauren who's married to Brian, who lives 3 minutes from us, who we hang out with a lot down here? Make sense? :) So the 6 of us are going to take on the Houston Rodeo BBQ ...
Easy As Pie
This recipe came from my mom's aunt Carol Lee in Iowa. Good recipes always come from Iowa, but this is the first one I've made that didn't contain multiple sticks of butter or a pint of half and half :) Not that there's anything remotely wrong with those ingredients!I haven't made many pies in my day, but if I had, I could probably still say that this was the easiest. And the healthiest. Here you go…1 graham cracker crust2 packages of sugar free jello 1 cup boiling water2 yogurt cups1 ...
How Could I?
I'm a pretty forgetful person -- but not usually when it comes to things like this... How could I forget?!? I bought this little number for Hazel last summer, knowing it would be the perfect size come February 14th. Well, as we all know, that day has come and gone…Wal-Mart is already selling Easter stuff! But because I wouldn't let something so freakin' cute go to waste…Hazel and I had our own V-Day Glamour Shots photo shoot on February 18th. In a couple years we'll never even know, right?She ...
Forget You!
I took a little trip to HEB over lunch today for some bay leaves -- I'm attempting this Adobo Chicken recipe tonight. I have a knack for screwing up even the simplest of recipes, so stay tuned for the result :)On the drive home I heard Cee Lo Green's "F*** You". I just can't get enough of that song! It put me in the best mood ever so I decided to share it with all of you...the censored version (you're welcome, Mom). This kid just kills me...Of course, you could also just read my friend Katie's ...
