Happy fall, y’all! The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are changing, and the Redskins just earned another WIN against Tampa Bay. It’s a great day to share another recipe! I came across this recipe a few weeks ago when looking for a dessert to make for the Redskins’ team Bible study, as I do …
Hello friends! As many of you have noticed, I took a very long unplanned break from the blog for a while. (By the way – thank you for noticing! I love knowing that people actually look forward to my posts.) If you follow me on social media, you’ve likely already heard the big news: Maj …
Hey y’all! Since I haven’t posted a recipe in a while, I figured I would get back into the swing of things with something simple. This strawberry cake is another one of those super easy recipes that tastes amazing. My boss used to bring it to work, and my coworkers and I would devour it …
I must have been out of my mind when I thought we would have plenty of free time this off-season… Boy, was I wrong! Our lives have been off the rails for a few months, but now it is finally time to get back to our “normal.” As many of you know, Maj and I …

Last week may have been the busiest week I have had so far this year. I am still recovering. Forgive me if today’s post is all over the place. 
Maj and I usually don’t do much for Valentine’s Day. This being our seventh one together, we took it easy as usual. Maj did manage …
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!
