Things That Keep Me Sane – Teri’s Blended Mocha

  This is the first in a three part series on Things That Keep Me Sane. During our wedding adventure there were a few things I did to help keep my sanity. Sanity is most important in a wedding situation, as I’m sure you would agree. I was basically in charge and I didn’t want to be biting [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – Part 6

Sometimes I feel like running away and eloping would be the best option; having the big wedding may just be over-rated. We have both been very taxed lately with work, school, and more work -  sometimes 60+ hours a week for him. Then he helps me with home work and then we just try to find time to  ‘be together.’ Sometimes it feels [...]

I’m sure it’s because people talk to so many wanna-be-bride’s that [...]

My Hopes and Dreams

I’ve been working on an ebook about our family’s backyard wedding experience and intend to have it published next month, or sooner if possible. I’ve also been taking two internet classes, while trying to keep up with my normal duties, including homeschooling our 10 and [...]

Reception Recipes – Taco Salad, and Chinese Noodle Slaw

This taco salad recipe is the best! Every, and I mean every time I take it to a party someone asks  for the recipe. Be sure and use iceberg lettuce, the others just get soggy. And, it’s best to put it together at the last minute. The secret ingredients are the Nally Hot Chili and the [...]

The Wanna Be Bride – Part 4

I have always known what colors I wanted for my wedding:  a pale green and lavender. So, do I have my bridesmaids wear green or lavender dresses? I think I will have them wear lavender and carry green bouquets. Then I will carry a lavender bouquet with flowers cascading everywhere! And speaking of flowers, I think the ones I want are probably expensive. I would [...]
