So, Trey was in Nashville for business this week and I decided to take a vacation day/weekend to meet up with him, my sister’s family, and my mom and dad.

Snow-my-goodness…
Well, a lot of the south is hunkering down for a decent amount of snow! That means grocery shelves are empty; if you’re smart, of course, you’ve already gotten your bread, milk and liquor! :)
Here are a few recipes to keep you warm with some pantry staples you already have!
Stay warm, stay safe, and stay off the damn roads, people! We can deal with a butt-load of humidity while keeping our hair large and closer to Jesus – but we aren’t known for being the best drivers in this Yankee slush ;)
And also…watch this hilarious SNL sketch with Buford Calloway on the Atlanta Snow Storm from Saturday Night Live in 2014 on NBC.com – click the photo below.

And of course, a few cocktail recipes to boot…
Project: breakfast nook built-in
Since we moved into our home a few years ago, we’ve never really known what to do with the breakfast nook area right off the kitchen. We already have a dining room complete with a table and chairs, so we didn’t feel the need for another eating area.
After a few years of debating, we finally took the leap and took a few weekends to make a built-in bench in the bay window of the nook!
Master bedroom revamp
Let’s be honest – sometimes life just happens and before you know it you are overlooking the things you’ve always disliked, like a scuff on the wall or a pile of magazines in the corner that you still haven’t gone through. #reallife
Well, we’ve lived in our house more than two years, so a few weeks ago we figured it was high time to paint and style our bedroom the way we wanted.
Some of our best Fall recipes!
Fall means two definite things for us – 1) all of our trees will continuously drop leaves starting now until late May, and 2) we start cooking and baking like we’ll never eat again!
Football season, pumpkin-spiced-everything, and yes, even Christmas is already in some stores. The countdown to cool evenings around the fire pit is on!
If you are in the mood for fall, here are some of our favorite cool-weather recipes!
DIY projects: back porch benches
This past weekend, we decided to make our own built-in benches in the deck – just in time for summer!
It took a few hours over the course of two days, but they are definitely worth it!
