March 30, 2015

If you have been following us via social media the past few days you know that we are traipsing across the country again. We are spending spring break in Solvang, California hanging out with Daniel while he finishes the complete home remodel he has been working on for the past 9 months. Before we left […]

Me, My Goiter and My Journey with Graves Disease

March 24, 2015

*Warning, this is not a short post, not even remotely! When a jabber jaw has been absent for months, she tends to go over board to make up for it, not to mention refer to herself in the third person* Well hello there strangers! How have y’all been? I have missed you guys!! Really, I […]

Mixing Up a Healthy Lifestyle With Your Teens!

December 8, 2014

It is hard to believe that the New Year is right around the corner! I know, we just began the month of December and here I am talking about 2015. However, we all know how time flies. We also know that the New Year is when most of us try to form a resolution to […]

Soy Seared Roast Stew

December 2, 2014

“Hey mom, will you teach me how to make this when I am in college?” Just the words every parent wishes to hear at least once from their child. We all have those dishes that took root during our childhood which over the years with a rub of love here and little tweak there became […]

Bald Head Island Mini Staycation {Part One}

November 8, 2014

How do you spend quality time with your kids and spouse in between three-week long jaunts to the West Coast? Why, you take them on a mini staycation of course. Some place nearby, remote and filled with charm. A place you can only get to by ferry! At least that was Surferboys brilliant plan for […]

Muscadine Peach White Sangria

September 5, 2014

It has been one heck of a week. One where you wake up in the morning with burning ribbons slicing trails of pain behind your left shoulder blade. The following morning greets you with the inability to turn your head any further left than 10 o’clock. What you don’t use clock face scales to explain […]

Carolina Dogs Gone Healthy!

September 1, 2014

Today’s the day! You know, Labor Day the day where we officially with permission get to be 100% sloths. Ya know I love it! Now are your grills fired up and ready to cook some succulent meat? Supposedly, it is also the “last day of summer” and all but, I’m wholeheartedly ignoring that disheartening classification. […]

41 is FUN! Thoughts on Aging

August 21, 2014

Being 41 is FUN! Ya know, in case y’all were wondering, are slightly apprehensive or just plain curious about middle age. Honestly my 40’s far surpass my 20’s. Some say, “Age is just a number” or “Embrace your age”, and they are right. Personally though I never think about age at all. A simpler motto, […]

Lemon Lime Chili Marinade & Grilling with OXO

August 1, 2014

If you’ve been grilling nearly everyday this summer raise your hand (raising both my hands as swim team grill mom)! Typically I’m grilling burgers and dogs at the pool which is easy but at home its either Surferboy or my dad behind the grill. Those guys have the flame 2 meat ratio down to a […]
