Paddleboarding for Zena

Zena loves the water. I saw a paddle boarding dog on YouTube. I think Zena would love this. Michael may have to take her for a spin.

Most Awesome Cooler

This cooler is awesome. It comes with some neat features: a blender, waterproof wireless speakers, USB charger, LED lid light, gear tie-down, beach tires, essential storage, split lid and divider, and bottle opener. I would have loved this when I lived in Pensacola.

Book: Recipe Books

Here are some good recipe books that I read recently:

My Go-To Dish

For the past 21 years, my go-to dish to take to a public function is mock eclair dessert. It is Michael's favorite dessert. Every time I make it for a public function, someone asks me for the recipe.

Eclair Cake (KRAFT Canada)  My mother-in-law used to make this for my husband. (She called it "Mock French Pastry".)      I made this for my husband for a Father's Day treat.  I deem it a success as he said it tasted just like his mom's version!  (The kids liked it, too.)

Glimpse of my Weekend

The boys had orange cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Saturday morning. They are Michael's favorite.


Michael's pillow came in the mail. I hope that it works for him.


I spent 4 hours or so getting school all ready. I cannot believe that we start in a week. BooHoo


Michael and Jar washed all three vehicles. The truck was so dirty.





We finished the Creation DVD series. It was really fascinating to watch.

Celine Dion

I believe one of the greatest singers of all time is Celine Dion. She is unbelievable...I get goose bumps every time I listen to her.

My boys won't like these songs...they don't like 90's music. I think it is the greatest music of all time. Here are some of my favorite songs of Celine Dion.







The Power of Love is my favorite song. My Heart will go on is of course from the Titanic movie.

Pinterest Finds

If I had a chance to renovate my kitchen, I would put a lot of drawers in it. I just love big drawers--plus they are easier to store things and get things out of. Here are some that I found on Pinterest.

light/white cabinets - lots of flush drawers, colored glass subway tile, glass door cabinets, cookbook space


Traditional Two-Tone Kitchen Cabinets


Evolution of Style: Choosing a paint color for kitchen cabinets. (Skip first couple paragraphs to get to the section on paint colors and all the examples of various shades of white.)


White cabinets honed slate counter tops, and black handles. Love the slate counter, cabinet style with lots of pull-out drawers, and wood floors!  Per This Old House: Slate is so dense that sealing isn't required. Buff out scratches with an abrasive pad. For more gloss, use mineral oil. Highly acid-resistant.

Anthropologie Beach Radio

I love retro things. I don't even know when I would really use this radio, but I absolutely love Anthropologie's beach radio. It is so cute.

So these are adorable. (Real radios that you can also use with your iPod.) :: from Anthropologie


for the lake lover {I bought this for my sister for her birthday!} Beach Radio that plays your iPod


This peachy/orange one is my favorite.

Our drive to church

We have a beautiful drive in the country to get to church. Although I don't like driving every Sunday, at least it is beautiful.

I love snickers candy bars

I have always loves snickers candy bars. When I worked in Pensacola, I had pineapple juice and a snickers candy bar for lunch once or twice a week (how terrible, I know). I still love them. I just don't have them very often at all.

Cam's lunch

One day Cam came downstairs asking me what was for lunch...he was starving. This is what I got ready for him. For some reason, he did not like my joke.

Crazy Lily

When Mom comes over, Lily barks at her like crazy. When Mom sits down on the couch though, Lily will climb right up on her lap...just as happy as can be.

Cam's Keychain

So, now that Cam has his own car, he had to have his own keys. I bought this keychain for him a few years ago.
