Whenever we go to anyone’s house, I think it’s a must to bring something. Well, last weekend we went to one of my college friend’s house and I asked her what we could bring and she asked if husband could please make hummus. Of all things, right?!?! She loves his hummus (that he tweaked from […]

Sometimes I just can’t think three weeks in advance for a card, so I can’t order a nice picture card from a photo company. I also HATE the store bought wordy cards that you have to pay an arm and a leg for. They usually go straight to the trash and I would much rather […]

We bought a short sale. Enough said right?! I mean some people luck out and find a short sale that is in great condition. We weren’t all that lucky. We had an HOA violation sheet with about 25 no no’s on it. One of the items was our shutters. We have blue siding and we […]

I’m not writing this post to put out there my gifts, in fact I personally hate it when people do that. I’m reviewing my gifts for you because I think they are two things that are great for moms or women in general. I go to the gym, so what if it’s partly to get […]

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! You’re probably wondering why I’m posting this on Memorial Day night. Well, July 4th is just around the corner and these are the PERFECT thing to make. People are so impressed when my husband makes these. He actually made these for two cookouts this weekend. Let’s just say that these are a […]

This recipe is awesome! It’s great to serve as an appetizer with crackers, on top of a salad for lunch, or even as a sandwich. Take a look at my lunch from Monday. This chicken salad is so much more than mayo and chicken. The more you add, the better it tastes! I got this […]
