Yes friends, another ever-important wedding decision has been made–we have selected our cake lady! I have been waiting a few weeks to declare this publicly, since we had to formalize the important details, etc/etc, but I knew {beyond a shadow of a doubt} from the moment I tasted some of Kellie’s flavors and saw her […]

1) I am thankful for my wonderful job {in marketing} working with incredible people 2) Sometimes, I get so crazy-busy at work I think I may explode because I get stressed out and reach max capacity and think I might burst because my job has a tendency to be completely overwhelming 3) Isn’t it nice to be […]

Just when I think I am my own woman and try to venture away from turning into my lovely, wonderful Mother, I am reminded today that no, Natasha, you are the miniature version of your Mom Tina, and you will continue to do the exact things she does…  I venture to Amazon and take notice of today’s deals–magazines […]

Now that it’s summer, I officially mark my calendar in the attempts to read more at night. Most of my shows are either in reruns or something random is on so I hope to take some time a few nights a week to sit on my porch and read. I am hoping Taylor’s topic this […]

In the hopes of meeting one of my monthly goals for June, I am attempting to cook at least twice a week and sample out some new recipes for our table. Not to toot the horn too loudly, but I am happy to say I cooked dinner 4 times last week and am anxious to […]

Back to Monday, back to reality… boo hoo, the weekends never seem to last long enough. On the other hand, this was one of the best 2 days I have had in quite a few months, and that’s all because I got to enjoy every moment with just Jeff and me. Friday night, we grilled […]

These are things I am really craving right now… in no particular order, of course: Flowers from the fiance–a  lovely $5 bouquet from Kroger will do the job! A massage to destress and get relaxed An extra 10+ hours in each day to get everything done A nice big pitcher gallon of mojitos to get […]

We’re still on a roll… buying up pieces left and right in the hopes we can have our home “settled” before the end of the year–or that’s our ultimate goal at least. Sure, there will be items to add at a later date, but I am a nester and both Jeff and I want our […]

Finally! Another BIG checkmark on my wedding list is complete… we booked out caterers–wahoo, yippee, thank the Lord! What an arduous process this has been, to say the least.  It started out more than a month ago–interviewing a few catering companies that were on our approved reception venue list. Starting out, Jeff and I had a fairly good […]

Going back through the years of the TV series of Sex and the City, I always wanted to be more like Carrie Bradshaw… a writer, a quick-witted woman with a slew of men vying for her attention, and a lover of all things fashion. However, the more I grow up, and now having seen the new […]
