Jamieson Summer Vacation 2021

July 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

We spent our Jamieson summer vacation 2021 in Florida last month. My little family and I packed up the car and road tripped there for a much needed 3 week vacation. This was our first time stopping in Mobile, Alabama instead of Pensacola, Florida as our half way point. I’m not sure if everyone was taking family vacations the same weeks as us but hotel rooms were either sold out or super expensive. As they say, if there’s a will then there’s a way, and we found exactly what we needed when we needed it for our trip.

Grandma Lena’s 93rd Birthday in Vegas

June 22, 2021 Leave a Comment

Last week Jordyn and I flew out to Las Vegas from Tampa to spend my Great-Grandma’s birthday with her. Making it to see 93 years is truly a blessing. After the last year of craziness and uncertainty I’m thankful she’s happy and healthy. Grandma Lena’s 93rd birthday in Vegas was definitely one to remember. Tons of dancing, laughs, and genuine love to fill a stadium. And to think there were so many of us still missing from the celebration. I’m hoping next year Grandma Lena’s birthday celebration will include a majority if not all of the family. When you come from a very large family like ours getting everyone in one room can be a bit…tricky lol.

Juneteenth is right around the corner and most of us are finalizing the celebration details. The most important being, what are we eating and who’s cooking what dish?

This year I wanted to share 6 Recipes to Celebrate Juneteenth for those of you still undecided on what to make. You will find entrees, side dishes, dessert, and drinks. All categories are covered here to cover you next weekend!
