This post could be alternately titled, "Phil and I go to see a movie in the theaters for the first time in forever" or "That time we saw Fury on the absolute last night it was playing." We don't get out to see movies in the theaters very often. So it was a great treat to just spend time relaxing last night and watching a movie together--so thank you to AMC Theatres and Coca-Cola Freestyle for sponsoring our date night!

September 30, 2014 by
Even though the weather doesn't feel like it here in Texas, it is technically fall. Which means we must do "fall-ish" things, like cook lots of stews (in the past 2 weeks, I've made 2 killer stews, so delicious), drink pumpkin flavored drinks and eat pumpkin flavored food, and of course pose for pictures with pumpkins.

Best of the Best: Free Printable Father’s Day Cards, Part 1
June 3, 2013 by
I decided to find the best free printable Father's Day cards for dear ol' dad because I had so much fun hunting down free printable Mother's Day Cards a month ago--any excuse to browse Pinterest is a good excuse. :-). Along the way, I discovered that there are a LOT more free printable Father's Day cards than there were for Mother's Day. My theory is that all the bloggers making these freebies are women who make cards for their hubbies, but hubbies don't make them for their wives. Come on, men, … [Read more...]
