What a wEeK it has been! Ups and down and highs and lows! I know the last few weeks have looked similar with pics of Drew in different arenas and things. I’m not sure I’m encapsulating my weeks fully, but I’m going the best I can trying to keep up. 🙂 PICS 1: The week… Read More »

My last day of being on my own before Rob was done with his conference and the kids flew into join us, I had decided I wanted to check out the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) & National Portrait Gallery (NPG). I took the Metro in and after a short walk from the Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn… Read More »
Here’s another post from our trip to DC. After having lunch with Rob and some folks from the conference back at the Gaylord, I made my way over to the metro station. I decided on using the Anacostia, because it was going to be cheaper and faster than the one closest to National Harbor. However,… Read More »
Today I’m continuing my posts from our DC Trip. Rob’s first full day at the conference, I decided to do something that wasn’t on my list of must does so that I could get back to the hotel for lunch (since it was included in the guest fee that we paid.) I drove over to… Read More »

After spending the morning in Philly, we headed towards Baltimore, MD, but we had a couple planned stops along the way.

Back in April, Rob had a conference in DC. Well we always like to extend it out so he can have a little vacation before he’s at work at the conference. Well, we got a crazy idea to start our trip in Boston. Being that Rob is a huge baseball fan, he couldn’t pass up… Read More »
Recently when I made some homemade dough in the bread machine, I had some dough left over. I didn’t want to waste it so Drew and I decided to try our hand at making some Mini Churros. They turned out great, so I’m afraid every time I make homemade dough we’re going to find a… Read More »
Cinco De Mayo is just around the corner, so I’m rolling out a few Mexican recipes for you to consider for your Cinco De Mayo menu. My family doesn’t like casseroles, so I came up with the fancy name of Enchilada Stack, because it’s kinda like a Mexican Lasagna. I love everything about this dish… Read More »
How are you enjoying Spring? Has it started raining a lot where you are? We haven’t had a ton of rain, but I know North Alabama has had an abundance of rain. With April I expect to see lots more overcast, gloomy day and lots of rain puddles. I love this quote about from Dolly… Read More »

It was a 2 fold trip; partly to visit family and partly to see some spring training games sing Rob’s grandparents live in close proximity to many of the spring training venues. After the game in Clearwater,… Read More »

For those that are unfamiliar, in the Methodism, parents bring their babies usually in the first 6 months of life to be baptized.
