Blooms & Butterflies

this past Tuesday I went to EPCOT for the annual Flower & Garden Show. and my oh my, was it ever gorgeous this year! seriously, so stunning and I'm so fortunate to have captured it. obviously seeing it all in person is so much better than via my photos but for most of you, it'll have to do! 

I hope you take time to get out and enjoy the gorgeous spring weather and all of nature's beauty!

delicious-ness...

so I had my Spring open house yesterday for my Tastefully Simple business. I made lots of yummy things...and remembered to take pictures of a few of them. our product line for this Spring/Summer season is pure amazingness. I truly love our products and it is so much fun to be creative and try new things with them. I made cookies with our Classy Chocolate Pound Cake Mix, put a twist on our Bountiful Beer Bread Mix by adding Spinach & Herb seasoning, and made Strawberry Swirl Buckle Cake. well, that's just three of items I made...delish!

Love Day!

it's Valentine's Day...I made a special dinner. and I meant to take pictures of every facet of the meal but only managed to remember to take pictures of the appetizer *Hot Pizza Dip* and dessert *Chocolate Heart Peanut Butter Cookies*. oh well...maybe next time. so for now...enjoy! 

Fun at the Orange Bowl!

so I went to the Orange Bowl a couple weeks ago to watch the Clemson Tigers play the West Virginia Mountaineers. and boy was it fun! well, pre-game tailgating was a lot of fun...the game itself, not so much. not for us Tigers fans that is. regardless of the final score, it was great fun to attend a major bowl game...an amazing atmosphere, beautiful (albeit chilly) weather, seeing the band Train, and good friends. 

December 2011 in review (part 2): the zoo!

well we went to the zoo on the 30th of december. the brevard county zoo to be exact. it's a small zoo, but so worth visiting. the weather was perfect for strolling through the zoo and the animals were very active. I used my new camera(!) and got some really terrific pictures. 

December 2011 in review (part 1): ICE!

December is always such a busy time of year...but also a very fun time of year. 2011 was no different. The Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando has a special event called ICE! every year and our family loves to check it out. The theme this year was "Shrek the Halls" and it was super fun. Below are a few of my favorite images from that day...brrr...
