Dec 30, 2011 • Guest post written by my buddy Aldo Mays Finding out we were going to have to start saving money was tough – I’ve been living footloose and fancy free for years and years. I love that there’s always something to cut back on but you know, it’s been tougher than I thought figuring out how to cut...

Dec 28, 2011 • New project! I definitely should have posted this before Christmas, but I got busy with the usual holiday hustle and bustle. I also didn’t see one of these to fruition until a week or so before Christmas. I’m telling myself I’ll work year round on my ornaments for next year. We’ll see how that goes....

You want them to be chewy. I left out the espresso. I think the chocolate has enough jolt itself. Chocolate Snowcaps 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder...

Dec 11, 2011 • Each year there is a lot to do to get ready for the holidays. Aside from decorating, wrapping presents, and cooking, everyone wants their house looking its best when family comes to visit. When cleaning for their visit, don’t overlook the carpets. Especially because a houseful of people often means that some one will be...
Our local orchard has a special- buy one get one free for a 1/2 peck of apples. Right now, in our kitchen, there are about 64 apples to be eaten. And two gallons of apple cider to drink. I can make 32 loaves of bread with 64 apples. I think I’ll pass on that idea,...
Yesterday while I was stringing up Christmas lights outside our house, my neighbors were also decorating their yard for the holidays. They kindly brought me some of their greenery to decorate with as well. They had clipped holly sprigs from the trees in their yard, and pine and cedar branches from the woods around our houses. I love...
I read a great inspirational story for the first of December. I liked it so much I read it again on the second of December and a few more times since. I thought I’d share an excerpt- Candles and Cocoons Dreams are candles to help us through the dark. Once used, they have to melt....

Nov 29, 2011 • Via: Wpromote Since I’ve started by blog, I’ve learned a lot about social media while exploring the internet. Companies and corporations use social media platforms to help create positive social change- to take action. One aspect of social media management utilizes this form of marketing to reach out to millions of global users, and as a result, it...

Nov 25, 2011 • My sister has been employed at both the local hospital and pharmacy over the past year. She is pursing a degree in the health care industry, and works part-time while she is in school. All professions in the health care field require some type of uniform. I’ve never had to wear a uniform for work,...

Nov 18, 2011 • I wanted to bake something yummy to take to the tailgate I attended the other week. The wheels in my head started turning, and I started googling. I love baking, and every year I make a mean Southern-style Red Velvet cake for the holidays. I decided this red dessert would be the perfect idea for an...
I stumbled across this amazing group online after seeing a commercial for The Year of Alabama Music. To my happy surprise, the group Alabama Shakes is from Athens (which is more or less where I am from). Athens doesn’t exactly have a lot going on in the ways of a music scene, but the Alabama Shakes is beginning...
