    When Johnnie and I got married, we asked for no gifts. Our family and friends kindly ignored us—because love languages are stubborn like that—and gifted experiences we’ll never forget. One of our favorites came from Johnnie’s brother Christopher and his wife Sally Jane: an Airbnb gift card. For our first anniversary, in October of 2023,…

    I’m pretty excited about all the vegetable lasagnas in our future, but also the breakfast casserole options using thin sheets of vegetables!

  • Garner Ups Its Game

    You’d think a small town like Garner would really embrace the local indy business movement, but the busiest places on the weekend are almost always chain concepts – that’s why i’m really excited to share a few new places that are earning my local dollars. Zin Yoga Studio & Wine LoungeThis business isn’t as new…

    This is one of Johnnie Bud’s absolute favorite things for us to have in the refrigerator so he can snack on it anytime, add it as a relish to burgers, or enjoy as a side item. The best part about this dish is that it’s really easy to modify based on what you’ve got in…

    I love live music. I love a great cause. And I have an especially soft spot in my heart for this event because it’s where I fatefully bumped into Johnnie Bud just three years ago and our first date was soon after. #BandTogetherLoveStory right here, y’all.

    Ignore the IMDB.com ratings for Tammy and rent this movie for a dollar at Redbox this weekend – it was hilarious! Johnnie Bud and I had a Redbox night this past weekend and picked this one because we’re Melissa McCarthy fans – we enjoyed Identify Thief so we picked this one up without even seeing…

    (image via IMDB.com) Johnnie Bud and I rented The Hundred-Foot Journey via the Google Play Movie store on Sunday night to try out our new Chromecast device (more on that in another post). At just over two hours long, it was a little slow, but beautifully shot and made me super anxious to get back…

    October flew by because it was packed with things to do, places to be, and people to see. My favorite ways to fill up a busy schedule! Johnnie Bud and I spent the first weekend of October visiting my little sister Mandy and her other half Joe up in Delaware are their first house. We…

    There was nothing meatless about Monday dinner last night, but it was the first time in many weeks that Johnnie Bud and I have been able to have a real dinner at home together, so I felt compelled to surprise him with something he had recently pointed out as looking tasty: Kraft’s Updated Shepherd’s Pie.…

    The background: My manfriend won a three-day Humdinger Juice cleanse for me at the Rex Gala a few weekends ago. I really like cold-pressed juice and have earmarked November to get a little bit healthy and in-shape before the holidays, so the timing worked out well. I ordered the three-day cleanse online, set Sunday as…
