Big City Bound

First, I want to thank all of my amazing readers for your comments on my last post. You are all wonderful and I'm thankful for each of you! It has been a busy week/weekend. We spent lots of quality time with two of our closest friends, Josh and Christi. We had dinner at their place on Thursday night, they came over for dinner at our place on Friday and we met in the middle for lunch on Sunday. It's...

Rocking My World

I don't have a fun travel story or any new recipes to share tonight. To be completely honest, Todd and I had chips and salsa for dinner. That was the entree and the side. Fancy, huh?I may not have made a dinner to brag about, but I sit here tonight feeling like the most blessed girl in the world. I have decided to look at the blessings God gives me a little differently, all because one verse is rocking my world.To give you a brief back story (I'm skipping the messy details), some close...

Jay Leno Fitness Plan

I'm not a morning person. I've never been a morning person and trying to become one has proven to be pretty difficult. But, I have a new plan for getting up early and hitting the gym that has actually been working and I have someone to thank: Jay Leno.I know that sounds crazy, so let me explain. I've had a habit of watching The Tonight Show since I was a little girl. Even as an adult, I would fall...

Happiest Place On Earth

We're back! After a 6 day trip to Orlando, I'm finally home. Sleeping in my own bed. It feels good to be back. I must admit, it was pretty great to be "working" from Disney World. I really am blessed to work with such amazing artists who continue to make me fall in love with my job when at times I want to run away from it. I even had the chance to get to know a co-worker better (we make great roomies...

Labor Day Weekend '09

Something happened this Labor Day weekend that I wasn't expecting. Something so frightening I can barely type it. I realized Todd and I are probably ready to be parents. Not what you were thinking I was going to say, huh? Now I'm not saying I'm anywhere near ready. I'm a planner and it's just not in the plan yet. But I started thinking and honestly, we could do it. We both have good jobs. We bought...

Franklin Farmer's Market

Apparently Franklin has an incredible little farmer's market that I have been unaware of until now. Maybe it's because I don't leave my house before noon on Saturdays. I should probably work on that. Had I known about this place, I would have put my weekend chores on hold to load baskets full of fresh fruits, veggies and baked goods. I've been to the Nashville Farmer's Market, but I'm pretty sure...

The Best Burger

The Pioneer Woman thinks so anyway. It's going to be a busy week. Todd and I are visiting family this weekend and tonight was our only night to hang around the house just the two of us before our trip. I thought I might make a fun dinner before things get a little crazy at the Stepp house. I made the Pioneer Woman's favorite burger. It was this burger recipe that got me hooked on PW in the first...
