Because It Always Comes Back To The Cake
When MrZ and I ended up in Huntsville after college in 2001, after he spent part of the year working in Georgia, we had considered the location temporary. He grew up in Huntsville and didn’t want to reside there as an adult, I had grown to almost hate Alabama over my years in college, so we had hoped to be elsewhere shortly. Fast-forward a year to when my mother had an aneurysm and after 5 weeks in ICU in Nashville where we drove often to visit, she came to live with... Read More
Six!
6 years ago today MrZ and I were married. It was a small-ish wedding. We just got a friend of a friend to take pictures but we had two kegs at the reception.

Why would I ever go to a site called Bakerella? I decided to give her pumpkin pie bites a try. And let me tell you…the hardest thing to me about cooking so far? Is making the food PRETTY. My food never looks as good as the internet tells me it should. I know that pros like PDub and Bakerella... Read More
STOP. Think.
These Kids Deserve The Best ME I Can Give Them I’ve been thinking about the Yelling issue the last few days and about how, in my own life, that negative behavior can be blamed on the same thing a lot of my negative behavior can be blamed on: Acting Without Thinking. I am the type of person who is constantly trying to better myself. I am also the kind of person who is often failing at trying to better myself. I like to think that makes me special. I often look at my failures... Read More
