For someone who is terrified of heights, I had a serious adventure this weekend. Adventures Unlimited provided Brandcation bloggers with a zip line experience that we will never forget! Our amazing guides Desiree and David kept us safe and made sure we had a blast. Fun fact: Desiree zips seven days per week at Adventures [...]
The Birmingham Zoo has been around since the 1950′s but has undergone major renovations in the last few years. It’s a whole different zoo than when I was a kid! Sweet T and I had the opportunity to meet some of our MOPS friends for a playdate this week at The Birmingham Zoo, and we [...]
First of all, thank for your help in deciding a new name for the slightly deranged flock member formerly known as Heather. After reading comments here as well as on Facebook and from family members, we decided to go with Lucy. She’s still a little “off” and not getting along with her coop mates, but [...]
Having a head cold on your birthday is the pits. Hubs asked me if I felt like going out to eat and my answer was, “No, but I sure don’t feel like cooking!” Since we had to pick Sweet T up from my Aunt’s anyway, we decided to try a local restaurant near their home [...]

Last Saturday we spent the day at Gullion Farms for “Down on the Farm” 2011. Gullion Farms is located in Somerville, Alabama and opens it’s “doors” to the public each year on Saturdays during the month of October. There are enough activities, food, and fun to keep the kids entertained all day long…if you can [...]
I always thought home canning was time-consuming process that required special equipment, time, and patience in spades. This is case for many foods, but not for jalapenos. I had no idea it was this easy to can a few peppers until my dad enlightened me with this pickled pepper recipe. This is the way he [...]
