If you don’t agree that the thought of your husband picking up the fork with a steaming creation inching closer (in slow motion) to his mouth gives you a little anxiety, you’re either 1. Paula Deen, herself or 2. completely confident.  I, at first, was not either of the above to be honest. Thomas has […]

A wedding day: every girl’s biggest dream. I can’t describe how much fun we had and how much of a thrill it was to see the fruits of all the labor at the very end. Planning seems like a nightmare to most, but I, with the help of my mom, lots of friends and an incredible […]
