I'm on a BOAT!

Rob and I are purchasing our first BOAT! :)  If we were ever going to spend $$ on anything frivolous- this is it!

We drove to the state of Indiana to check it out to make sure it was 'the one'.
It's a Baja for Rob and it's navy blue for me!
It's a 25 foot Islander- Rob is going to pick it up in 3 weeks (we are waiting for a trailer to be painted to match the boat. :)



Now we just need a name!
We are going to dock it in Pittsburgh for the summer- which I am really excited for!
Kenny Chesney at Heinz Field on July 2nd should be our christening day.

Almost officially motor boaters!

Yay! Monogrammed Beach Chairs

I have been on the search for a sturdy  chair for the beach- since I have summer on the brain!I found these at Lands End- and with a big sale...love them!

Navy Blue AND Monogrammed!!
Two of my favorite things :)

Lindsay's Bachelorette party in Ocean City is coming up for Memoria Day Weekend and then we'll hit OC again with Rob's family at the end of July. Now if only I could get Rob to buy that beach house in Charleston, SC! Ha.

It's been a while........

Things have been rather hectic, just busy non-stop! I like life that way, but every few weeks I need a breather...and I'm @ that point!

Tis the season for bridal showers, baby showers, and weddings- in which I love!

I have been on a baking kick....

For Easter, I made cut outs using one of my co-worker's grandmother's recipes, and she's a grandma herself.
Let me know if you should ever need a good sugar cookie recipe- I will pass it along!


Next up, I attempted 'cake balls'. They are harder than they look, and were hard to keep on the stick, but they tasted really good!




For Robbie's Birthday, I made my first attempt at Tiramisu. I actually used Emeril's recipe. I didn't use any port wine, I just dipped the lady fingers in espresso.
