Never Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen
My friend Kerry is a gorgeous, fiery, energetic redhead.
She's a single mother of six, that's right, six kids...and she is, hands down, the best baker I've ever met.
When she was 8-years-old, she would get up early and make breakfast for her siblings...and I'm not talking about Captain Crunch.
Egg strata, fresh juice and the most amazing coffee cakes.
She's ridiculously talented. It's kind of depressing.

Make a Splash
When we were kids, summers were punctuated by two distinct memories: oppressive Indiana heat, and the Elk's Club Pool in Vincennes. My grandparents belonged to "the Elk's" which afforded them golf privileges (they didn't golf), dining privileges (Friday night fried chicken), and a pool membership. The pool was a highly chlorinated, peeling, cinder block facility with a small snack bar serving orange Fanta and The Bee Gees serenading us through loud, raspy speakers...it was absolute heaven.

Question, Quiz, Q-factor....
What restaurant was originally named after a cat and then changed it's name to mean absolutely nothing?
It's one of the fastest growing restaurant chains in the nation and it has a completely made-up name!
Here's another hint: it started in Colorado, inspired by San Francisco cuisine, and is the home of a burrito almost as big as your head...

cap, cover, lid, bonnet, chapeau. hat.
I have a friend who laughs hysterically at me whenever we go to a pool or beach.
Everyone around us is lying face-up or face down trying to capture every last molecule of the sun's rays, while I am wrapped in a full-length sarong applying 70 SPF.
And I always, always wear a huge hat.
Amidst the chuckles, I tell my friend that I am fashionable. In 1940's society.

Dinner and a Show
Here's the challenge: Feed, entertain AND have 'quality time' with four children.
Wait. Not so fast. Here's the catch: all the kids have vastly different ages, interests and varying levels of "coolness".

Path of Least Resistance
Living in Indy makes me feel a little sorry for other cities.
We have a veritable buffet of art, music, culture, museums, and, despite the 'cows and corn' reputation, Indianapolis also invites us to explore it's beauty in nature, woods and trails.

A Bountiful Boutique
I really dislike shopping. (I'd use stronger language, but we don't use "hate" in our family as my children would be quick to point out.)
I tolerate shopping for groceries, but I get positively anxious when shopping for clothes, shoes or handbags.
I know. I'm strange.
My sister considers shopping malls a 'spa-like' experience, and my husband could spend all day at the Apple store. But me? Not so much.

Wedding (Giveaway) Day!
I kept shaking my head.
Here was this gorgeous couple, Ja'Rell and Zsaranet, getting ready to get married...
on LIVE TV!
I would have been a lunatic. A complete disaster.
Most likely huddled in the fetal position.
Instead, Zsaranet looked like a queen. She had some wedding jitters, but was gracious, lovely and had the most radiant smile I have ever seen. Truly.
