Chocolate Chip Cookies
Good Thursday Morning to everyone! How is your week going thus far? Mine has been going rather quickly actually. Can’t complain about that! Makes the weekend come faster. Ever heard of Christmas in July? Well I got Christmas in August. I would just like to say that I have the best boyfriend in all of the land (ok, yes I did just say “in all of the land”, but maybe that is because he make me feel like a princess 😉 ). He found this sale on Onieda.com. Holy frekkin’ moly! Talk about getting things for dirt cheap. He is such a good deal finder. Just like me actually haha.…

Bachelorette Cookies
Good Monday Morning to you all! How was your weekend? I am hoping well. Mine always go too fast. Especially when you are doing things. Always seem to go quicker. This weekend was spent mostly celebrating my Mom’s birthday, going to a bachelorette party, and looking for things for the new house. Patrick and I made our first purchase this weekend. A new washer and dryer, since the house didn’t have them. We went to a store closing out sale at Sears and got the appliances for a steal! It was a deal we couldn’t pass up. I have a feeling this purchasing things for the house is never going…

Banana Spice Muffins
Man, what a tornado these past few weeks have been. Most of you know that Patrick and I have been working to get ourselves our first house. We had our home inspection on Monday afternoon. Overall things went pretty well, here and there things that have to be taken care of…but that is a house right? Our major concern was that the inspector said that the roof needed to be replaced. Knowing that the seller was going to be paying all the closing costs, we knew this was going to be a battle. We thought we would start at the beginning and send in a unsatisfactory inspection form to the…

Carrot Bread
Do you have a show that you love to watch on TV? I am rarely home to watch TV let alone get obsessed with one. Back when LOST was still on, I was an absolute maniac about that show. I started watching it in college and my love affair with that show continued for its entire duration. After LOST went off the air, I really didn’t have anything that I raced home to watch or that I was really upset that I missed. I have friends that are fans of The Bachelor and other reality TV shows like that. I have really never gotten into them. To tell you the…

Curly Parsley Potato Biscuits
Happy Monday! (don’t worry I am not one of those overly hyper Monday people, just trying to be positive haha) How was your weekend? I hope it was good 🙂 Mine was pretty easy going. I did a lot relaxing after Friday night. Which was needed really. I have this little tickle in my throat, I am SO hoping that doesn’t mean I am getting sick. Blah to getting sick! Patrick and I went to Noel and Jim’s wedding on Friday and it was so much fun! We had a great time dancing the night away. I think the best part of the night was the photo booth though. They…

Cinnamon Chip Scones
Moms are seriously amazing. Aren’t they? They always know just how much love to give you when you need it, or just the right amount of Jell-O when your tummy hurts. They always know what kind of advice to give you (and are 9 times out of 10 right), even when you think you have it all figured out. They always know what is best for you, even though you hate what that “best for you” is. I am amazed at Moms. They are patient, wise, overwhelmingly kind and unconditionally loving. Sometimes I wonder if I could be a Mom… My friend Becci and I were having this conversation about…

Football Cookies
How was your Superbowl Sunday? Did your team win? I wasn’t really partial to either one of the teams. I don’t care for Brady or Eli all that much. Truly, I was hoping to see the Packers in the Superbowl. Not that they are a team I follow closely, but I thought they deserved it. I am a Chiefs and Steelers fan, so both of my teams were gone long before the Superbowl. Although my Chiefs did win against the Packers so that was exciting. Not that it had any kind of bearing on the Packers at all, but delivering their first lost was definitely a proud moment for my…

Orange Scented Buttermilk Scones
I feel like I haven’t posted in like a week…wait, I haven’t! haha…things have been SO busy! Thanksgiving was wonderful and very low key, which I enjoyed VERY much. I was able to enjoy it with my parents, Patrick, and some of our neighbors and it was a very lovely, and stuffed, Thanksgiving. I also was able to meet Patrick’s bother and his wife. We went out for dinner in NYC. Very interesting place we went to called the Gotham Bar & Grill. A tad on the expensive side (*ahem* with tip about $600 for 4 people, just a TAD on the expensive side 😉 ). It was really nice…

Whole Wheat Waffles with Strawberries
This week is Thanksgiving and I cannot tell you how excited I am. I love the holidays! Like love them. The parties, the family, the food, the snow. Just love it. I have a lot of exciting things happening in the next couple months. Not only is it going to be Thanksgiving this week, but I am also meeting Patrick’s bother (Justin) and his wife (Lindsay) the day after the holiday. We are meeting in NYC, which should be fun. Maybe go see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller center and have a nice fancy dinner in the big apple. If you haven’t ever seen the Christmas tree in NYC, you…

Strawberry and Apricot Stripe Cookies
I would just like to point out that next week is Thanksgiving. GAH!!! ::sings:: gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble giggle, I wish turkey only cost a nickel. <—if you don’t know what that is from click here. I cannot believe how fast this year has been going. I mean really. Christmas is going to be here before we know it! I am trying to help my mom design a Christmas invitation. What do you all think of the following picture for an invite? Would you like to get this for an invite? I don’t know about you but when it starts to get around this time of year all…

Apple Muffins
This has been a sad week for me. I am sure that you all have heard about the things that have been happening at Penn State. It is almost impossible to turn on your computer or TV without seeing 10 stories about JoePa and his Nittany Lions. I am heartbroken. That is the easiest way to explain it. I am absolutely mortified and disgusted that a man like Sandusky was associated with Penn State. The crimes that he committed are completely unforgivable and I pray for the families and the boys affected; that they may someday be able to heal from this tragedy. My heart is also very heavy with…
