Wait…someone take a moment to document this momentous occasion (I guess the blog does that)…..I am blogging…at 8am. This is crazy. Tyler and I woke up early this morning and made our way to my brother’s house where the apartment construction is taking place. So far I haven’t joined in with the building. Mostly because …
Things I love about today: – oranges – family – construction (it’s for our new apartment!) – sunshine! – crinkle cut kettle chips (I am resisting eating the entire bag) – the fact that publix now carries Caribou Coffee – seeing Tyler in a gas mask (he’s using this crazy cement cutter thing!) Just thought …
I’ve posted about Mumford & Sons a lot, claiming that they have amazing music, but I’ve never really gone into detail about why I like them so much. Here are a few bullet points: -Their instrumentation is remarkably simple, and it works extremely well. There are four members. They play upright bass, guitar, keys, and …
Last night Tyler and I tried our hand at making homemade pasta. We recently purchased pasta maker. It took us a little while to get the hang of it, but the end result was amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever had pasta that good. We went with angel hair (my favorite!) and tossed it in …
Good morning friends. It’s a dreary day in Nashville, but in a sort of beautiful way. Does that make sense? The greens and yellows in the grass seem to be a little brighter in the drizzle and the gray. And with good coffee within arm’s reach, it’s shaping up to be a good day. I’ve …

If you’ve read much of my blog, you’ve probably gathered that I enjoy food. Specifically desserts and baked goods. I’m a huge fan of chocolate. Mmmm… Due to my desire (or the reality that I am actually doing this) to bake delectable desserts as much as three times a week, I’ve decided to make a …
Last night Tyler and I attended a benefit concert for The Contributor, a street paper in Nashville. The Contributor is sold by homeless or formerly homeless vendors throughout the city. They buy the papers at a low cost and then sell them for $1 to Nashvillians. The paper is filled with articles, poems, and short …
Hello friends. I’ve been meaning to post some sort of New Year greeting for a few days now. In fact, I wrote a lengthy blog yesterday and didn’t end up posting it. It’s 2011 and we’re officially into a new decade. Where did the time go, right? I’ve heard a lot of my friends talking …
New Year’s Refreshment (there is no mention of food in this post! crazy!) Read More »
I have returned. I hope you all had a really wonderful Christmas. We had snow in Delaware much to my delight! I spent Christmas morning baking cinnamon rolls. Oh. My. Goodness. They were so good. I’d never made them from scratch before and thought I’d give it a shot. I found a recipe on foodnetwork.com …
Guess what?! We’re in Delaware. But that’s not all…we’re in Delaware and it SNOWED!!! I’m terrible at driving in snow. I avoid it at all costs. But, I love looking at the beautiful white stuff and making snowmen. I love the smell of snow and the sound of snow. Have you ever noticed that when …
