Nursery Progress - Week 1

Ok, so I don't know how interesting this will be to anyone but me and my other cookie friends who I've been going on about my nursery to.....but I thought I would give you guys an update on my nursery reno.  Ya know...just a little peek into why the heck I haven't been posting tons of cookies.

Gotta delegate time...I only have 4 weeks to get it all together after all....

Anyway....

This week (well last week really....I just forgot to post) we had the painter come out and paint all the trim in the room.

Here is what it looked like before...

A sea of brown....and khaki..... blah...

And here is what it looks like after the trim is complete.

Mardi Gras 2013

I like Mardi Gras.  Granted, yes, I've never actually been to Mardi Gras....but I have a soft spot for it for some reason.  Maybe because I have a soft spot for New Orleans and Louisiana in general.

Yes, there are flaws in New Orleans...I mean...Bourbon Street...kinda dirty and well...  you know...

But the FOOD!  The food is some of the best anywhere.  And Louisiana is so beautiful.  All those bayous and moss covered trees....old homes...wildlife and water....

And did I mention food?

I basically go visit New Orleans (and Louisiana in genreal) just to eat.  I used to go visit my sister while she was in LSU.  Last time I was in Louisiana actually was when she graduated... I've been running short of valid excuses to get my fat happy butt back....

Anyway... Mardi Gras right?

Wildberry Pie

Ok, I love pie.  I mean LOVE pie.  Almost as much as I love my husband....

However, I have never been a huge berry pie fan.  Maybe because most berry pie you get out there is made with the canned filling....or a flat, stale crust.... I dunno.  But I've never been a berry pie fan...

Until now

This pie is SO good!  It's a little tart and a little sweet.  Basically, perfect with ice cream.
