I love my customers! I often have the chance to visit with new customers and learn all about the sweet personalities of their little ones. Now, I wanted to tell you a little more about me. Here are just few really random facts about me:
1. I went to a residential high school at 15. It rocked.
2. My Grandma tried to teach me how to sew when I was about 14. It didn’t go very well.
3. I love Reese’s peanut butter eggs (and Christmas trees and footballs and pumpkins).
4. My favorite book-turned-into-TV-or-movie ever? Anne of Green Gables. Harry Potter, year 1 was a close second.
5. My first job was in a family member’s jewelry store. My grandmother was my first boss. She expected us to look our best, shine the glass frequently, and show our customers the biggest diamond first.
6. I’m finally learning how to use iTunes. Yes, I know that 2002 ended a few years ago. I’ll catch up–eventually.
7. I was named for my grandfather’s grandmother. My daughter is named for her grandmother’s grandmother. I like family names.
8. I love chocolate and cake and icing, but my all time favorite desert is pecan pie!
9. Adam and I LOVE watching The Big Bang Theory. I love nerds. (I am one!)
10. I love to sing. But you probably don’t want to listen. Really.
11. I really don’t like turkey, but I’ll fix one at some point during Thanksgiving week. Why? For the same reason I grow tomatoes when I don’t like to eat them. Who knows!
Deviled eggs, homemade mac and cheese, and chocolate pudding pies—it wouldn’t be a Holiday meal at my Nita’s without them! If you asked my hubby, he’d say that no Christmas would be complete without his Grandmother’s snickerdoodles and pecan sandies. Then there’s my Daddy’s fried turkey (or ham or brisket) and Momma’s potato salad that are a must at almost every family meal (no matter the time of year).
Does your family do this too—stuff yourselves on comfort food? With Thanksgiving being only 2 (!!!!!) weeks away, I know I’m not the only one pulling out the recipes—both family favorites and at least one new one to try.
What are you cooking? What recipe does your family expect to see on the table every holiday? Are you trying any new ones?

In addition to school, homework, church, choir, piano, Cub Scouts and swim team, my 2 have just a few things they want to do this month:
It’s a good thing we get a week off for Thanksgiving!!!
It’s almost game time! Whoo Hoo!
If you (or your hubby) follow college football, you know that tonight is the big match-up between the #1 ranked LSU and #2 ranked Alabama. Being a Louisiana girl, I bet you can guess who I’m rooting for!
Either way, my most favorite game is coming up Thanksgiving weekend! LSU vs. Arkansas is an interesting match-up–especially when your in-laws are from Arkansas!
Just note about shop shipping times: To receive your order by Thanksgiving week (Monday, the 21st), your order must be placed by Wednesday, November 9.
