this weekend is my mom's 60th b'day and so my family is coming here!  i've got some cooking to do...i am going to attempt one of our favorite thai recipe (my brother lived in thailand for years so we love thai food) and i am going to make my mother-in-law's famous poundcake w/ cameral frosting.  we also plan on visiting the local farmers market to get hot, homemade doughnuts that are to die for...in between all of our eating, we hope to find some treasures will out antiquing. i hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!!  if you need me, i'll be in the kitchen probably freaking out :)

sometimes it's the small things that get me most excited....like an impromptu date night on a wednesday-just b/c.....hope y'all have a wonderful day!!

i'm signing off for the week to go and head down to the beaufort water festival.  it's one of our favorite times of the year...everyone gets on their boat and meets at a sandbar near downtown.  there is something about water, fun drinks, good food, music, and old friends that make the event so memorable each year (and there is always a fun story to tell at the end of the day)!  i hope y'all have a fabulous weekend!

friday night we had good friends over for a pizza cook off....needless to stay we had a blast.  the pizzas were great- we spent 2 hrs prepping them....or maybe talking, laughing, sipping, and forgetting what we were putting on our pizzas.  as you can tell, we thought it was pretty fun.  by the time we finally ate, they both tasted like winners :)  if you need a great recipe for pizza, this is my favorite!!  hope y'all had a blast this weekend too!

Even if you lose it little by little, it will still add up to a big result in the end.
