Have a delicious day!
this looks delicious and i personally prefer personal (say that 3 times fast!). i like to know the author. and i am 34, and think i am 25, too. have you seen that ecard that says something like “i still think i am a 20 year old! but then i hang out with 20 year olds and then i’m like, nope i am definitely not 20 anymore!” that’s me. 🙂
Love it! That’s SO how I feel, LOL! I feel like 25, but not really either sometimes hahaha! Love your blog too, btw Cassie!
a) That looks delicious! I will definitely be trying this one out!
b) The reason I read blogs and not magazines is for the personality behind the blog. I think it’s important to get personal and let who you are as a unique individual shine through in your blog!
Loved the post!
Thanks Jeanette! I feel the same way…I love to know who’s behind the blog I’m reading! I’ve been holding back my voice, and just realized that that’s not what readers want either!
Have a great day!
I love your blog! I feel like a 30 year old trapped in the life of a 22 year old (I’m really 22). I live in West Chester, PA in the US.
Check out my (neglected) blog that I’m trying to get back into!

Thanks Kate! Too funny! Sometimes I feel way older than I am too! It’s all a state of mind isn’t it?! Thanks so much for stopping in and leaving a note! I’m going to go and check out your blog!
Wait girls until you are 55, your body feels 85 and your brain thinks you are like 25! Thanks for the recipe, it looks like something new to try that will be delicious, I get stuck in a cooking rut sometimes!
Too funny Cathy! And YES, do try it – it’s the perfect dish to get out of a cooking rut! Enjoy! 🙂
I love your blog! I am drawn to your blog as I live in the same city as you! I like blogs with a mix of everything and I think your blog has it already! You really don’t have to change anything!
Thank you so much Gena! And you live in the same city?! Awesome! I love local readers – it always amazes me that there are some! Enjoying this windy dreary day, hahaha! Have a great one!
I think it’s a great idea to get more personal on your blog. I am always happy to learn more about my blog friends 🙂 I live in Dana Point, California. My favorite place on earth is Laguna Beach where I was raised (about 10 minutes down the highway from where I am raising my family). Home prices are too high there (although worth every penny in my opinion) but we still head that way often, and I almost never go to the beach anywhere else. I always joke that I am solar powered and that being by the sea is my happiest place on Earth 🙂 I just turned 34 and I too often forget how old I am. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’ friend 🙂 I’ll be here!
I love that you are solar powered! I think I am too, but we don’t get enough sun here!! I’d love to live by the sea…sounds so dreamy and beautiful! And you my friend, I am so happy to have you here – you are a thoughtful and kind person – leaving lovely comments since I started this little blog! Thank you!!
I don’t think you share enough about how wonderful and Brad Pitt-esque your husband is! I hear he is the best…a lot like the Coconut Lime Thai Chicken he ate last night for dinner. Anyhoo, outside of more praise for your super duper hubby, I think a glimpse behind the digital curtain is a great idea!!
Hey Brad! I wondered when you were going to stop by! hee hee
I love it when bloggers share their real lives and real messes…in the kitchen, in the craft area or where ever. You can say whatever you want ~ it is YOUR blog! 🙂 I just can’t seem to get on a regular posting routine and now lots of things going on around here. I am trying to get better! I’m retired so you’d think I’d have plenty of time, right? 🙂 I love to cook, especially baking. I enjoy having small groups of friends and/or family for a meal, appetizers & drinks or just to visit. In the spring I get so excited about planting flowers and then by July they’re all burned up in this Texas heat. I’ve lived in this great state all my life but I do believe our summers have been more brutal the past few years. I don’t do heat! Fall is my favorite season, ever. I’m single, have 2 wonderful young adult “children” with great spouses and my son has the 2 “perfect” grands.
Stop by and say hi when you can!
Pat
Thank you for sharing yourself Pat! I too love baking the best – it brings me peace & quiet! And I’m so jealous of your heat!! We have almost 7 months of winter here! Brrrrr 😉
Reading your blog is just like chatting with a friend. I am from Texas with a mother-in-law from Nova Scotia. Your blog has given me a way to connect with my “Canadian side.” I love hearing about the things that you like. Your recipes are awesome and help me out a rut so many times. I think that you should just “do you!” That is the person that we love to read about and enjoy anyway. Thanks for the time that you take to share with us. You actually help me to love my home a little more. I am so thankful that I came across your blog. Age is a great number because it reminds us that we’re still here,but it does not define us! You’re as young as you feel!!
That is the nicest thing to say Felicia! Thank you so much! To even think that I inspire someone, or help in any way with meals for their families makes me feel so good. And it inspires to me to be the best blogger I can! Thank you for your kind comment!
Hi Jo-Anna,
I’ve been following your blog for quite a while now and look forward to your commentary that goes along with your great recipes and crafty posts. Being a new blogger sort-of now, I look to you for inspiration and to see how the pros do it. Great advice about the blog name because I had to change mine. I like my new name a lot more. I call the first name the practice and this name is more about me and I know what I am doing now. But it was a lot of work and set things back significantly. Thanks for sharing a bit more of yourself. I too live in a ‘burb nearby in Canada. But I am quite a bit older. I don’t feel 25 anymore. I feel more like 45. Keep up the great work! ~Thea
Hi Thea! I always enjoy your comments so much – you are the kindest person! Thank you for loyally reading along! And I love the name of your blog – you are right – the first name really is practice – it’s just so hard to know where a blog can go, isn’t it?
Thanks for the compliment on the blog name. It does have a bit of a ring to it, is a lot faster to type and it works great for Twitter. However, it was a bit uncomfortable for me to use my own name and really put myself out there. But as you have said, your readers and followers do want to know the blogger behind the blog. I am very comfortable with it now. When I first started, I was just going to write about organizing but another blogger referred to my blog as a ‘lifestyle’ blog that makes your life more organized, simplified and beautified and that is the tag line I go by now. That was pretty cool. Good luck with your name change. It does all work out for the better in the end and is worth the effort. Have a good weekend, Thea
