In one of my first posts, I blogged about how awesome Pinterest is and how everyone should check it out. It has everything from recipes to fashion, DIY crafts to inspirational quotes, and home decor to humorous pet photos. I may go a few days between “pinning” things to my Pinterest profile, and then I’ll pin three or four hours everyday for a week straight! My husband will see me using my iPad and ask, “Whatcha doin’?” to which I’ll reply, “Pinning!” So I decided to start a new “category” on my blog and call it “My Week in Pins.” […]

The first book was […]

Because It’s Made With Love
“Cooking is like love; it should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” – Julia Child I consider myself a pretty good cook now, considering the fact that in college the only thing I could cook well was ramen noodles, spaghetti with meat sauce (out of a jar), and macaroni and cheese. I remember this one time (at band camp… just joking… but seriously now…), I began cooking some chicken tenderloins and rice, and I decided that while it cooked I would sit down in my papasan chair and watch a bit of TV. I was feeling very independent in […]
