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.

Entry Way Decor & Makeover

March 2, 2021 Leave a Comment

March is here which means spring is right around the corner! We’ve almost made it through winter which is quite impressive when you consider 2021 is trying to out-do 2020. Whew, what a time to be alive. I decided this year one of my personal goals was to concentrate on more home decor. I found myself filled with ideas for every room, but never actually putting the pieces together in reality. For the month of March I’m going to share transformation Tuesdays for different places in my home. One of the first blank spaces I transformed was our front entry way area. The pieces for my entry way decor and makeover perfectly fell in place once I got going. It was meant to be!

January 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

If you’re an avid follower of my blog you probably noticed I was MIA last week. Between decompressing from a month long vacation, inauguration 2021, and getting back into the swing of virtual school it was an exhausting week. I normally push through tiredness but I’m learning the art of pausing when necessary. Last week was a much needed pause and I’m feeling refreshed for the new quarter and year.

Brown Sugar Baked Chicken Wings

January 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

Happy first new recipe of 2021 everyone! The new year brings new goals for most people. One of the most common goals people share is eating better or losing weight. Although this Brown Sugar Baked Chicken Wings recipe isn’t considered “healthy”, it is an alternative to the usual fried option. I know this is an unpopular opinion but I prefer my wings baked or grilled. There’s just something about a good marinade on a baked/grilled wing that can’t be accomplished with frying.

5 Winter Comfort Food Dishes

December 29, 2020 Leave a Comment

The new year is around the corner and everyone is going to be sharing advice for 2021. Well, my unsolicited advice is to get comfortable being inside for a few more months by finding joy in the small things; like dinner time. If you’re going to be stuck inside your home, your stomach should at least be full and happy, right? If there’s one thing 2020 has taught us it’s that life is short so enjoy the little things in life. Food on the table and a roof to cook it under is a great place to start. This round up of my favorite 5 Winter Comfort Food Dishes is perfect for the cold weather and to switch up the usual dinner ideas you’ve been making since March.

Jamieson Christmas Photos 2020

December 24, 2020 Leave a Comment

I’ve been playing around with my camera these last few weeks trying to figure out the capabilities. This Christmas makes one year since I’ve had my Canon Rebel T6 and only three months I’ve had my 50mm “fifty nifty” Canon lens. I took some beautiful photos for my Merry Berry Christmosas earlier this month and decided to try my hand at Christmas photos of my girls. Although there are slight adjustments to be made, I couldn’t be happier with how the Jamieson Christmas Photos 2020 turned out!
