Happy Birthday, Sissy!!

Tap, tap...is this thing on? To those of you who still read this little old blog, I'm back from my east coast adventure. I left my John and Abigail Adams seminar with Joseph Ellis feeling more inspired and re-invigorated than I have in years about the subject I teach. I am so excited to start back in a few weeks and share the stories I have learned.

And then my anniversary trip up the coast of New England with the hubs was just incredible. I cannot wait to share my pictures with you.

For now though, I would like to share the birthday card I picked up for my sis in Salem, MA. If you are as big a fan of Target as I am, you will love this card.

My little sis, Kyle, turns 27 today. Happy birthday, girl! Vacation pictures start tomorrow. =)

The Fabulous Beekman Boys

Usually, I'm so on top of what's going to be big, but lately I've been late to the game with many things..."Mad Men" and "The Walking Dead" just to name a few. My most recent, late, discovery is "The Fabulous Beekman Boys." Are you watching this? If not, you are SO missing out.



The show deals with a couple, Josh and Brent, as they deal with life on the Beekman farm and launching their own product lines. They are both just adorable and absolutely HILARIOUS to watch. And their products...I just die. I have a list of things I'm going to order including:



Their Milk Shake soak for the bath when I need to indulge.



Their onion jam to pair with some nice goat or chevre cheese.



And their heirloom vegetable seed collection to plant in the beds my husband is promising to build me over the next two weeks.

My mom turned me onto this show; it makes her so happy watching these two struggle with product launches and teasing each other. I cannot wait to order her their Milk Shake and Goat Milk Soap for Mother's Day. She's going to flip.

The show is on the Planet Green channel on Tuesday nights. Please check it out if you haven't already.
