This year for Father’s Day was a bit hectic to say the least. Sadly, my mom missed Mother’s Day because work had her in Germany. This year, however, work was sending her to China ON Father’s Day. Oy! So we decided to celebrate and go out for Father’s Day on Saturday evening, however hubby and…
Memorial Day Weekend is about honoring those who have served our country proudly. My grandpa was one of them! And if there is one thing I ever learned from him (which I learned way more than one thing!!) he always claimed food was better if you had to travel 45 miles from home or more…
Ok, so one of my favorite side dishes that hubby does in the smoker is his smoked cabbage. It’s super simple, super affordable, and super yummy. 1 head of cabbage. Rough chop it up and get it off of the root. (Is that what it’s called, you know the core, the center, that hard thing…

About a month ago I started thinking about Cinco de Mayo and wondering if it happened to at least fall on a weekend if not a Sunday night. And sure enough it did fall on Sunday night. I sent Earl a text letting her know and then probably became a PITA (pain in the a**)…
He never ceases to amaze me. He had me believing that I wouldn’t get flowers this year, just like he had me believing he couldn’t propose yet (3 years ago). And I had made my peace with it even though I might have been a bit sad… Then he came through! This boy knocks my…
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’ve been trying to decide what to post. And, maybe what better than the story that got my husband to where we are today… Some of you who have been around for a while know the story, but for those of you who are newer, sure you can read the…
