We spent a delightful and long over due evening at Big Sis’s house last weekend – doing our best to catch up while five littles ran hog wild. After a divine meal, we gobbled up this Upside Down Bananas Foster Cake that I’ve had clipped for over a year! It was worth the wait, if… Read More
In this household, we exclusively subscribe to the psychic prophecies of our very own hometown groundhog, General Beau Lee, who boasts honorary doctorates (which really says something about the University of Georgia), various other distinctions, and most importantly a 94% accuracy rate (that designer imposter, strangely named “Punxsutawhatever” rodent up North manages barely 85%.)

Back home, we further gorged on a non-traditional chili supper with cornbread waffles and pumpkin whoopie pies. And once the littles… Read More
