Two weeks ago Cory and I celebrated our Happy 7th Anniversary. I’m not sure I’ve ever posted much in the way of our wedding photos (too long ago) but every anniversary, I dig out our photos and I love them all over again. I sometimes hear about people who are disappointed in their wedding photos,… Read More >>
I met up with Racheal last week to go over some wedding planning details, but mostly just to chat and share some wine and food. Her and Rochan have been in full swing wedding planning mode and it was a much needed time-off from the planning chaos. I’m so glad she was able to spend… Read More >>
The end of my 40 Day Transformation is coming to an end this Friday. I am now at day 38, and couldn’t be more proud of myself! There are several things I’ve learned along the way that I wanted to share. The main reason why I started this program was to improve the overall balance… Read More >>
I am now at day 30 of my 40 Day Transformation! We were asked on Day 1 what (if anything) we wanted to add into our lives, or what we wanted to do without. Making a commitment for 40 days to be healthier and live a healthier lifestyle involved ‘try giving something up.’ So, I… Read More >>

For thirty years, the daughters try to make sense… Read More >>

Inside he discovers several cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker–his classmate and crush–who committed suicide two weeks earlier. On tape, Hannah… Read More >>
Kerry hosted the book ‘Can You Keep a Secret’ by Sophie Kinsella. I am forever hooked reading anything and everything by Sophie Kinsella. (I’ve since read the Undomestic Goddess and Confessions of a Shopaholic). Her sense of humor is fabulous. And after having been to London and the UK last year, these books now paint… Read More >>
I’m a bit behind on our book club, but I recently hosted back in April, and we discussed The Help. I had fun trying to keep with a Southern theme for food (thanks to Kim last month going with the French theme from Sarah’s Key). I made Harvest Chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob,… Read More >>
