Hey y’all! If you’ve ever tried making vanilla cupcakes from scratch, you probably know it is not a simple feat. While vanilla seems like the most basic flavor, I have found that it is actually quite difficult to find a really good recipe. Honestly, the best way to go is usually modifying a boxed cake …
A couple of years ago, while vacationing with a friend, she and I decided to take the love languages test. If you are not familiar with the love languages profile, it was developed by Gary Chapman as a way to discover your “emotional communication preference.” The five “languages” are gift giving, quality time, words of …
Last Wednesday, we went to visit a few of Maj’s old OU coaches and see the newly renovated facility. Let me tell y’all, OU players are living the life! It is interesting to see the difference between college and NFL football facilities. Contrary to what one would expect, while some NFL teams do put lots …
Happy Sunday, y’all! I made an unfortunate discovery this week – the natural lighting in my kitchen is almost nonexistent. This is not good for food photography. Alas, I have found the first flaw in my otherwise perfect kitchen. That being said, the lighting in my pictures may be all over the place. The perfectionist …

Hi friends! Since I haven’t posted in a while, I’m doing a Tuesday TWENTY today… A lot has happened in the past three weeks! A few days after ringing in the new year, Moose, Bear, Maj and I hit the road to Texas. We left Virginia just in time, as it started snowing right when …
Hello, my fellow dessert lovers! Since these next couple of weeks are quite busy for my little family, as I am sure they are for many of you as well, I figured I would share two of my favorite super simple recipes. Like, these are probably some of the easiest recipes I will ever post. …
Happy New Year, friends! Usually, not much changes at the start of the new year, making resolutions hard to keep. In years past, as soon as all of the celebrations died down I would be right back to work or school, my routine unchanged. While I am once again preparing to go back to school, …
Since this is the Christmas Edition, I couldn’t keep it to ten things… So this is actually the Tuesday Thirteen. 😉 The Perine Christmas Weekend festivities started on Friday when Maj and I went to see The Greatest Showman. Y’all. The movie was so good! Even Samajé liked it, and he is not a fan …
