We always head to the family lake house for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. It’s only a one hour drive from our door to the lake and my in-laws are some of my favorite people in the world. Lake life in Texas is a whole other world and it’s heaven on earth for us. Naturally we eat, swim, and… Read More
#UsetheGoodStuff: The “Good” Dishes
I’d love to take a quick poll: d0 you set your table for dinner each night? Do you use your old, mismatched plates, or heaven forbid, paper plates?
