Ok, so I get frustrated trying to think of new dishes, easy dishes. (Those of you who know me…..know that its a MUST that the dish be an easy fix) Anyway, I created a Chicken Teriyaki dish, that was super easy and turned out great. As usual, I worked with …

So today is a bitter, sweet day.  I have completed my DIY invitations and put them in the mail.  You are probably thinking,  ”Why is that so sad?”  I started working on my invitations two years ago.  I went through so many changes with them and there were so many …

From time to time, I hope to highlight some fictional stories to supplement the gossipy feel of this blog. 

Their Eyes Were Watching God (Zora Neale Hurston) follows Janie Crawford along her spiritual journey with life’s ups and downs.  While Hurston describes Janie’s relationships with others, we also follow Janie’s path to independence and growth. It is Janie’s last heartache …

Hey there, Babbies!  It’s me, Von (VonAngel), writing thru my alter ego, “Samara Simonson”.  She was created by the Fabulous Senam and myself to bring you all a little entertainment while planning your [sometimes stressful] weddings.  I will take you all into the lives and minds of “Samara” and her loved …

Hello everyone.  I’m the newest Babbie Blogger.  I’m very excited to be able to share my wonderful walk down the aisle.

I’m getting married on September 27, 2008!  Yes it’s only 60 days away.  I’m marrying a man who is truly my best friend and my spiritual partner.  We have been through so …

The hardest part of dating is getting use to the person you’re seeing.  We all have habits and traits that others dislike.  On top of learning regular stuff about them, you have to learn how to deal with the traits you do not like very much.  Trying to figure out …

                                                          
365 days. In the large picture of life, one year is a miniscule fraction on the days that we spend here on this earth; greatly adding to the wonder of how just one year can alter the course …

After having a big argument with DH, I decided the 1 thing that could cheer me up, was having some good ole comfort food.
I must admit, I am by far one of the greediest people that I know..lol. Just about every situation, puts me in the mood to eat…..bad hair day, …

Tyrese = married ?

I looked at the pictures and was thinking “oh she’s pretty.”  Then I looked at the caption:

Singer-turned-actor Tyrese Gibson and his wife were seen arriving at Coco Deville nightclub in West Hollywood on Tuesday night.

I glance back to the pics…lo and behold the rock on her left …

I am going to admit it, I am scared to fall in love again.  I have been told and believe I do not have unconditional love (in relationships).  I know it may seem strange, but I don’t love unconditionally.  Maybe my expectations of love are out of whack.  Or what …

In wedding related news, Jay liked the cake! His favorite flavor was the cherry, so that’s the flavor we will probably end up going with ( he liked it, I liked it, and my Mom liked it) unless I can get a tier of lemon (it was soooooo good!) I …

I like to cuddle.  I will admit I missed it a lot while in the LD marriage.  I enjoy being able to again.  Cuddling is so nice.  It is a level of intimacy, atleast to me.  Like a way to be intimate without doing too much.  Which is important while …

I may be a wee bit biased when I say: I love the Simmons family.
 
 
I have watched Run’s House since the first season and am excited for the newest season to begin airing.  (July 16 10 PM EST)
Since I only know what is shown on TV, I decided to research Rev. …

This recipe is definitely easy enough for a Monday.
My week always tends to start a little slow. The weekend goes by so fast and then monday rolls around. 9 times out of 10,  I usually forget to take something out of the freezer the night before so dinner has to be something easy. I …

This weekend I spent a few hours going through all of the decorations and stuff from the wedding…
I actually teared up…for about 2.4 seconds…
I got rid of SOOOO much stuff that was just unusable…I was a little salty at having to get rid of the stuff considering how much work …

My new challenge with dating is finding my comfort zone. As we get to know each other better and figure out each others personalities the zone is being created. Though, I catch myself wondering if certain actions will make him feel uncomfortable or will be doing too much.

Some …

I’ve heard it said that the day of the wedding is a whirlwind.  It was for me…
I got up at 6 am because I couldn’t sleep…I was nervous and excited…You know that feeling you get when you were little and you were going to the first day of school?  It …

OK ladies.  “Where is your intro entry?!” you might ask…I did it a bit backwards, but that is just how I am.  My first post was about Malinda Williams’ wedding shower.  (Check it out here.)
Now, I have been asked to keep the BABs informed about anything and everything on the …

 
Who would have thought? Celebrities have issues too.  No, I’m not talking about the ones who are addicted to everything under the sun.  They go through similar things as us common folk.  For instance, Malinda Williams (you might remember her as Bird on T.V.’s Soul Food).

Well, turns out that …

The best part of being single, well second to not having to deal with someone 24/7, is date night!  It is fun to get dressed up and all cute for a date!  Well, maybe I’m alone on this feeling.  I love it!  I even do my make up, more than …
