Monkey and Princess had a blast at Camp Invention last week. Here’s Monkey getting his very own patent certificate on the last day of Camp Invention. They looked forward to camp every day, they talked about what they would do, what they did, and what they thought they’d invent. They couldn’t wait to tell me…
Happy Monday, y’all! Did you have a nice weekend? We had Laura and her family with us this weekend. We went to a Crawfish Boil, ate a LOT of Crawfish, sausage, potatoes, and corn. YUM Sunday, I introduced them to the Coffee Malt, and while Laura and I sat working on our computers and…

With 6 1/2 days of school left – most of the conversations I hear when around other parents start with: “What are y’all doing this summer?” What Camps are your kids going to this summer?” “Holy cow I have to plan something for my kids this summer!” The lazy days of summer are all well…
Happy Monday, y’all. God Bless and Thank You to each and every one of you who has served our country, loved someone who has served, and to each who has lost someone who has given their life in that service. Thank you.
“Be an encourager. The World has enough critics already” ~ Dave Willis One of my favorite things happening this past week has been my delivery of more del campo t’mates {for whom I am a recipe developer}. I have been blistering and blackening them on my grill for the most ridiculously mouth-wateringly, deliciously, rich, smoky,…
You can say goodbye to your BLT, because you’re never going to go back to a plain ol’ BLT after getting a taste of this Bacon Guacamole Tomato Sandwich on Toasted Asiago Cheese Bread. I have a long standing love affair with BLT’s. When I was pregnant with Princess, I was a restaurant manager,…
