Discovering Roads To Travel Down and Tables To Gather Around
My husband recently turned 35 and I was looking for just the perfect surprise. He always seems to one up me in the surprise department. Over the past few years he has become a whiskey lover and he had mentioned a few things that he wanted to do for his birthday and of course they all involved whiskey. All of the things he mentioned just …
I love to entertain. Nothing makes my heart happier than when my house is full of happy people. The laughter and the noise is something that I truly enjoy. We get together with friends often and instead of me having to make the entire meal everyone always brings something to eat. Well, we all love burgers so we came up with the burger bar. It’s …
So as many of you may know my New Years resolution was to start having Sunday Dinner! We all live crazy busy lives and we often miss out on that old school family time. I wanted to bring our family closer and start to create new memories and traditions. Unfortunately we live in a time where tradition and family values are easily forgotten or pushed …
This Irish girl loves potatoes! I can’t get enough of them and neither can the rest of my family. I am also a burger lover! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy a good burger! We have been blessed with a large family and large group of faithful friends who we consider family. “Friends are the family we choose” Most of our weekends are …
My husband and I just recently celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. Fall is my favorite time of year but between our boys playing football and my husband’s fall work schedule it has become our busiest time of year! We needed to get away for a night and just spend time with each other! THAT IS SO IMPORTANT! We settled on going away for the night to Portsmouth, …
I have had Orange Marmalade on my “to do” list for a long time. My mother and I finally got some time away from paper work; we own a family plumbing and heating company (McGuire Plumbing and Heating), the men do the plumbing and we do all the paper work. I make a tasty chicken dish with orange marmalade and dijon mustard and I wanted …
Five years ago my grandmother bought me two small peach trees. I stumbled around my yard looking for just the right spot for them to call home. Once they were planted I watched them grow. The first year they produced fruit I had a very hungry deer or two eat all of the peaches, thankfully they haven’t been back since. This year I had so …
I had always heard great things about the Florida Keys but I had never been. To be honest they never really made it to my “must see list”. Recently I found myself looking for a family getaway and I didn’t want to spend a ton of money. I searched flights first and found great prices on flights from my local airport in Providence, Rhode Island …
Over Memorial Day weekend we were invited to a BBQ, I wanted to try something different. I always bring the same thing. We had recently come back from vacation to visiting the keys and the everglades and my time was limited. I don’t know about you but I often have a hard time finding something to bring to a BBQ. Give me a dinner or …
Today we had a great day walking around Barn Island. Barn Island is located in Stonington, Connecticut. It was the perfect way to enjoy Mother’s Day. The paths are nice, wide and pretty flat. Our boys enjoyed walking the 4.5 mile loop. We walked past tidal marshes, through hardwood forests, open fields and we even walked past an old cemetery. While walking through the field …
