Anyone who knows me knows that I. Love. Sonic. Large Diet Coke, Extra Ice, and a Grilled Cheese - add pickles, add bacon. (If you haven't tried it, you should.)

Sweet thing is a coffee snob. Our Chloe is a coffee snob. Even my super pr… Read more
I brake for roadside stands. I might not always stop, but I definitely slow down. Squash? Probably not. Juicy peaches? Definitely, especially if they're freestone. Strawberries and tomatoes? Look out - I'm coming over in your lane.

There are a few things in life I have too many of. Shoes, of course. And baskets. And tote bags, for some strange reason. And, of course, candles. But I always rationalize my candle purchases by saying to myself, "I'll use these up so it's not like I… Read more
