Celebrating Juju’s 80th!

January 31, 2025January 30, 2025

Gosh this post is tardy, but I didn’t want to skip it all together. Waaaaay back in October we celebrated Juju’s 80th birthday!! Her favorite color is green and she’s an exceptional gardener so it was only appropriate to incorporate those details into the festivities.

We spent an evening celebrating the birthday girl over a delectable meal surrounded by friends she’s had for decades and family from across the country. I believe there were sixteen in total!

It was a wonderful evening! Wishing our Juju a happy 80th and many, many more!

January 28, 2025January 28, 2025

Saturday was literally the most gorgeous Florida day – 65 degrees, sunny and picture perfect. We slept in again (a big reason to love Universal over Disney) and took the water taxi over to Islands of Adventure to start the day. First stop – an almond croissant. I can’t resist. Next we took some time… Read More

Sunday Supper {Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes}

January 26, 2025January 21, 2025

These sweet potatoes were divine! In full disclosure, Whit and Honey don’t love sweet potatoes. As for me, I prefer them roasted or fried over any type of baked form. That said, I got a bee in my bonnet to try this recipe and they were just sensational. So much so that Whit ate the… Read More
