Jamie - I planted broccoli! I’ve never had broccoli in my garden – well this is in my daughter’s garden.  They’re actually doing quite well for a first-time try!  Yay Broccoli! Trish - My new thing this week was to start online bill paying.  I live in the dark ages when it...

Trish - My new thing is dating.  With my kids!  Every weekend we have a mommy date and daddy date with our kids.  Usually I take my daughter to a movie while my husband and son go do who knows what.  It’s a fun little way to make sure they’re each getting some special time, and it gives...

New this week! Jamie - This week, I tried a recipe my friend Emi sent me because I claim to be cookie-baking-inept.  Until last night, I could only bake one kind of cookie succesffully.  Seriously folks, I can even ruin the slice and bake type.  Anyway, you mix up one box of cake mix, one stick of...

What’s new, what’s new? Jamie ~ My new thing this week was actually last week I celebrated Easter for the first time in my life without my extended family.  Usually, Easter is a busy, busy day filled with church service, Easter Lunch at one grandmother’s house, dessert at another...

Jamie - My new thing this week was….I baked a cake from scratch.  I confess…I’m a box-cake girl.  I finally tried my hand at baking a homemade Red Velvet Cake, and it was…awful.  It was dry and hot pink! But the frosting was fantastic, so I ate that instead. Angie - This week,...

Jamie - I went to a cow farm.  It doesn’t get much newer than that.  I moved to the Midwest over 6 months ago and there’s an awesome Dairy Farm on 65 South that I always pass on my way back to Birmingham.  I’ve been dying to go.  Award-winning cheese, super-duper fresh milk &...

What’s new? What’s new? Jamie - I made a DELICIOUS dinner with less than 5 minutes prep time and 20 minutes bake time.  My kids raved about it, I actually ate it and the husband did too – although that’s not saying much, he’s like Mikey. Anyway, without further adieu,...

Angie - This week I was forced into my “New Thing” and I was/am not pleased. When I learned that Target was no longer carrying my brand of hairspray, I was forced to venture into trying something new. I don’t like trying new things when something is working for me and I love them. So...

Plugging away at our New Things for this year… Here we are at week 8, check out what we did! Angie - Seems like I can always come up with something that has to do with food. This week we had lunch and one of our favorite places, Maki Fresh. I decided to branch out a little and order something that...
