Whoa! Holy long time since my last post, Batman! I could make up all sorts of excuses as to why I’ve been so silent. I could tell you that I have a toddler who never ever stops moving. Or I could tell you that really there isn’t anything new to report so why bore you …
It all began 4 years ago when my husband, Greg, decided that he wanted to put his own spin on some classic Christmas carols. He teamed up with his friend, Joey and The Oceanauts was born. They spent a few days making a few well known songs their own and then they emailed the songs … Continue reading The Making Of “Hey, It’s Christmas”
My ultimate favorite New York City Southerner, Jessica Staton, sent me not only a great recipe in the mail the other day, but she included it’s key ingredient: pumpkin butter!

In Florida, it is still 90 degrees outside, your hair will still frizz in about 2 minutes from all of the … Continue reading The Weekly Cookie: Iced Pumpkin

Greg and I took full advantage of that this past year … Continue reading Levi’s 1st Birthday
I know I am not the first person to come to the conclusion that people in general, and maybe my generation specifically, has a hard time with commitment. Divorce is consistently on the rise and even cell phone contracts make us shudder sometimes…really 2 whole years….with one cell phone service provider? Oh man. We live … Continue reading Love to the End
I’ve started a new blog. This is it. Welcome. Sorry it’s not pretty yet or even remotely interesting to look at, but my amazing husband, Greg, is busy making this blog look like the coolest thing you have ever laid eyes on….at least the coolest looking blog that spends most of its time chronicling the … Continue reading Did Your Baby Come With a Flow Chart?
