A Zoo Trip.

Back when my sister was in town

and spring was in full effect, we decided

it was the perfect day (as the rest of Nashville 

thought the same too) to go to the Zoo.

I can't count how many times I've been

to the Nashville Zoo, but it never gets old.

I must say my favorite is the old plantation house,

all the blooming flowers and architecture is a 

photography dream!

I know the place like the back of my hand,

so I'm thinking I should move in right?

Maybe the Meerkats have some extra space? 

A "Workout" With Chunk Chunk.

The Strokes have a lyric that I like to live by,

"Monday - Tuesday is my weekend,"

And this is sososo true since I work at all hours of the day

at my current job.

On those days off, I try to soak in as much crafting, baking,

and reality t.v. as possible.

Guilty pleasures....

And on Wednesday, I was sitting on the couch,

and my pup, Ellie was staring at me sitting on the couch,

judging me, giving me those "eyes".

So I said, what the heck?

Let's take chunk chunk to the park for a workout.

And by chunk chunk, I mean the both of us.....

Now, come take a walk with us:

Oh these are my favorite, when she decides to pick up a LIMB instead of a

stick or twig.

It's been oddly warm here in Nashville.

It hasn't even snowed yet!

Christmas Day, Part 1.

I bring you a few snapshots of Christmas morning:

Binx going b-a-n-a-n-a-s for ribbon.

One of the great presents I got!

Chocolate pecan pie cooling down.

The only picture where my eyes are open.



Fa la la la la ........

is it New Years yet?

The People that Make Christmas Great.

You can visit the post I did about

last years Christmas party, and now

I finally got around to bringing you this years.

Actually, I wasn't going to post anything at all

because I was chit-chatting and playing hostess too much to

realize, "Spandex Summer needs me!". Plus, I got

a phone call from my sister asking why I didn't post anything about it.

...lazy.

So I bring you the gist of what happened.

I had a Recipe swap/pajama Christmas party at my house,

and here are the recipe's I made:

I made cupcakes similar to these, except

I did red velvet.

I also made this incredible

Cinnamon Sugar Pull Apart Bread that

I'm pretty sure I've been yapping about for weeks now.

Oh, I also made this punch that was so good!

I'm not much of a punch person, but this is definitely worth a try!

Then after everyone tested the food and had a good

chat by the fire with some hot cocoa, we played a few games such as,

Who Am I?: Where a person gets a Christmas character and

describes who they are, whoever got the most right got a present.

The Naughty List: Each person went around and told the

naughtiest 'naughty list' story (clean!) and whoever had the naughtiest got a present.

Christmas trivia: obviously, it was Christmas trivia, and the most

with the right answers, yep, got a present.

I just had to share this. Binx made his appearance, in theme as always.
I think he looks like the Heat Miser in this one. Ha!

 

I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas!

Tumblin' Tuesdays.

Some Holiday Fun.

This past weekend, the family and I put up our

Christmas decorations.

So I bring you a few quick shots

taken on my phone to give you a little peek.

Can you see the audience waiting by the door?

I found him sleeping (unfortunately for him).

As you can see, I had to prop his head up on an ornament.

Oh Binx.

Tumblin' Tuesdays.

Happy Halloween: Binx.

Ok, so I saved this Halloween post last because

it's the best of course!

It's not only Binx in his pirate costume,

but it's his second birthday today!

He really enjoyed it.

Promise.
