My Husband is a Ham

Hi everyone!  I have a very short post to share with you today.  I just couldn't resist sharing these hilarious pictures Jordan took.  You know, when you're having a rough week, these are the stories that give me a giggle.  And don't worry, I'm sharing these pictures with Jordan's blessing.

Cookies...  I made a big batch of cookie dough in January so that I could bake just a few cookies at a time.  I even went through the trouble to individually ball the cookies before freezing. Despite my easy-bake intentions (and warnings), one afternoon Jordan really wanted some warm homemade cookies so he decided to bake them himself.  After all, the hard part was already done ahead of time!

I had previously cautioned him against putting too many cookies on the tray at a time (so as to avoid something that resembles the continent of Pangaea).  And also cautioned against removing them from the tray before the cookies had a chance to cool.  But no, alas, my warnings fell on deaf ears!

This is the result of Jordan's handy work.  The cookies didn't look very pretty, but at least he didn't burn them!  

Fast forward to a cold week when I'd planned to bake a ham on some random Wednesday.  I've NEVER baked a ham because, well, it's just so much meat and I don't care for ham as compared to other meats.  At any rate, ham samiches were in our future!  Since I don't usually get home until dinner time, I prepared everything ahead of time so that all Jordan had to do was stick the ham in the oven (he works from home).  I asked him to keep an eye on the temperature because we could take it out of the oven when the ham reached 160 degrees.

So this is the picture he sent me 1 hour after the ham had been in the oven, explaining to me that "the ham was already DONE!"  
That's right, the needle is not on 160 degrees per se.  It's in the margin area where the helpful meat temps are listed for reference!  Yes, it IS pointed at 160, but it's not the 160 on the actual temperature SCALE!  I got such a good chuckle out of this so I had to share!

That's it for today!  May your kitchen be disaster free and humorous! #PinterestFails

Cheese it Up

Sometimes I feel like Jordan and I live for the weekends.  We are very blessed to have each other, jobs that we both enjoy, an adorable pup, and a pretty house, so we definitely  enjoy the week days.  It's just that the weekends are when the action happens!  I don't know if we rest more during the week or the weekends! Last weekend was no exception.  We managed to strike the right balance of being productive while still having some leisure time.  Those are my favorite kind of weekends because that's a really tough balance to get! We recently planted some new flowers around our house which was a big chore.  I always get the spring bug this time of year (not the sickness).  I can't help it!  I don't have any sort of green thumb so I suppose this spring tradition will continue for years to come.  In the short time that we've had these pretty flowers, we've spent a lot more time outside.  The nice weather helps too!   Here's the run down of our new pl

July 4th with Family

Happy July 4th...or 14th.  It's taken me a while to get around to sharing pictures from our Independence Day celebration but I've got 30+ pictures of family food and fun to share! There is no other holiday quite like the 4th of July in America!  Everyone takes off work to enjoy delicious food (and cold drinks), BBQ, and the faint smell of explosives in the air --- those bombs bursting in air! This year was even sweeter than previous years because my brother, Andy, and his family flew to Texas for a long visit!  I was so thrilled to see them all! Top Left: I do love a little flare!  I got a pedicure before the holiday and decided to go with a patriotic theme.  The design looks almost like a Wonder Woman theme which is equally awesome. Top Right: My brother, Scott, with his pup Lucy.  She is laser focused on the lake smells in this picture. Bottom Left: Me, my niece, Kenley, and Lucy!  Lucy sure has grown so much from when she was a puppy (see her Chri

Doodles and Drawings

I've continued to have fun with my Tombow calligraphy markers that I talked about on my Tombow Watercolor post.  Pinterest is rich with unique and interesting art!  I've found that it's extremely relaxing to sit down and doodle with my markers while sipping quality wine and listening to some music.  It makes for a messy kitchen table but I feel very chill and in my own element! The only new piece of art I have to share is this "hustle" poster I made for a friend.  I began by playing with the texture of watercolor paper (verses usually using "media" paper).  The water and markers react completely different depending on the surface and paper.  I ended up with this woodland-ish doodle. Leaves are probably not the most interesting focus, but I had fun playing with the different shades of greens and browns along with the various textures of leaves.  I have so many shades of markers so it was a great opportunity to use them all!  For fun, I even
