Tag, You're It!

My aunt and fabulous blogger/photographer/person over at Tempo and Speed tagged me in this little blog game so I will be answering the questions and tagging some people as well. Here we go...1.What’s your staple meal (ie. what meal do you cook most often when you can’t be bothered to be adventurous…

I Need A Sweater

I have been a busy bee! I started working last week and it actually feels good to be productive and earn a paycheck at the same time. It's been some early mornings and long days but this is what I get to see on my way to work everyday...not too shabby for Shannon! So, like the rest of the South,…

Tuesday Tunes: As Heard on TV

One of the best ways to learn about new music is through soundtracks to TV shows or in commercials. Nowadays so many commercials and previews tell you what song and artist they are using, but if they don't I just type in some of the lyrics to google. Here are a few that I recently downloaded:

Shoes That Love You

Check out this adorable brand of shoes that I'm currently in love with. (pronounced: oak-uh- bee) They are a brand of sandals with all kinds of different styles and colors. And they are so comfortable and reasonably priced! When I first saw them I was like "what's the big deal, they&#…

I Love You Dad!

I so admire your work ethic and the way the people look up to you. I look…

Updated: Starbucks is Better Over There

Important Update: Good news everyone! I was quickly informed that I am mistaken about Starbucks in the US! I am excited to report that there are Starbucks on this side of the pond that serve more food options. Sadly it seems there are none by me. If you have them in your area I am oh so jealous an…

Running in Heels

Now I'm sure we've all found ourselves in situations that require us to hurry quickly in a pair of heels before, maybe we've even had to actually run. But here is something I've never seen before... Yes, what you are seeing is real. A High Heel-a-Thon in New York. Kelly Ripa is t…

Tuesday Tunes: Karaoke

I used to be in all the school musicals and I was in show choir too. Now let me tell you... our show choir is nothing like the Glee. Although I would really like to be able to sing like Rachel. So I was driving home from Target the other day and that Martina McBride song Wrong Baby Wrong came on…

I Want to Be Her

If you could be one celebrity who would you be? I could never answer this question in the past but I know now I would be Giada de Laurentis, hands down. (Heidi Klum is a very close second). -She makes absolutely yummylicious food! -She is adorable. -She has an exclusive product line at Target. (My h…

New Header (and World Cup Update)

This will be a quick post. I just wanted to point out my new header! I thought it was time for a change. It's very shabby chic don't you think? Anyway I'd be happy to make headers for some of my blog friends. I can do any kind of style with your own personal photos or favorite images …

Loyalties

The World Cup is upon us. Opening ceremonies and the first matches are today. What I am most excited for is tomorrow-because tomorrow England plays the US! What a game this will be! Peter and all his friends are gearing up to watch it and so am I. They asked me which team I will be cheering for.…

Brown Paper Bags

I was staring at my fridge yesterday and rummaging through my pantry looking for something to put together for lunch. I ended up making peanut butter and jelly on crackers (pb and j on saltines instead of bread). I used to have this for lunch all the time when I was younger. It made me think back …

Tuesday Tunes: Worship Mix

It's been two weeks since the last Tuesday Tunes. For a while my blogging was kind of scarce so it was all I was posting and I worried people would get sick of it. But it's back! And I have some great worship songs to share with you all!
We sang the following song in church two Sunday'…

The Big 22

Today is my 22nd birthday! I don't have too many plans but I know it's going to be a really nice day! Here are 22 things about me and my birthday, it is going to be a long post, but it's my birthday so I don't care. 1. I got ABC for lunch with my sister and Peter. 2. My sister got me …

What I'm cooking

Peter and I have decided to try to save money and eat out less. Plus one of my new years resolutions that became a post graduation goal was to cook more. I love cooking and I love wearing my cute anthropologie apron and feeling like a housewife. Our plan is to not eat dinner out on the week days. …

Headboard Happiness

My 22nd birthday is on Monday!! We will discuss that craziness in another post...
So for my birthday I asked my parents for a headboard and it was delivered yesterday! I got to pick out the one I wanted and it is so pretty! It's from Urban Outfittersand they have some of the cutest furniture, I c…
