I’ve always considered myself a pretty lucky person. There were many times in my life where I was at the right place at the right time, and felt like I won a mini-lottery. There was the time I overheard someone talking about an opening for a job I really wanted, and I had just quit […]
The iPhone 4s was one of those things that everyone would go on and one about but I never got…until I got it. Like many things, until you own and use it, you don’t realize why exactly they are called “smart phones”…intuitive, extremely useful, multitasking- I’m in love with my iPhone, and have started to […]
We love Greek food, and one of my favorite Hellenic recipes is traditional Avgolemono, a Greek chicken soup made with egg (avgo) and lemon (lemono). Avgolemono soup is one of the few things my son actually eats, and I seriously could eat it every day. The lemon adds an incredible flavor twist to this delicious […]
I have never heard of this but sounds interesting!
A few weeks ago I would not have had a clue what you were talking about, but I actually had this soup a few weeks ago at a local restaurant and it was so good!
I may try that sometime!
Just pinned it so I can try it next week! Thanks!
I’ve never heard of it before, but I like that it’s kind of like a stew.
This sounds delicious, love lemon so I’m sure this is amazing!
I LOVE Greek food!
Oh this looks yummy!!
Looks really good!
This looks and sounds quite interesting!
Oh my that looks like something I would LOVE! I am going to try this. I will let you know how it turns out!
I’ve never heard of this before, but it does sound a bit interesting though.
Hello Penelope, I saw that you followed me on Twitter and thought I would take a gander at your site. I love what I have found. Very sweet and interesting blog you have here. AND I love Greek food too. Can’t wait to try this soup because lemon is also a fav of mine. I will try to stop in again from time to time. Keep up the great posts! Blessings. christianeveryday.com
I was recently asked about my first car, which brought back lots of memories from my college days…a really fun time in my life. I shared my story of “The Boat”, a huge, silver station wagon that looked like a mom car and pretty much mortified my friends (I didn’t know the type of car […]
I agree, I loved my first car. I didn’t have to depend on my parents to take me places.
You always love your first car. 🙂
Oh man you should have seen my first car! Ha! It smoked soooo bad and I bought it out of a junk yard (with my very own money mind you!) for $250!!! Woot! LOL
Oh my gosh, that brought back a ton of memories. My dad used to say that my first car was round, because there wasn’t a spot on it that wasn’t dented.
So glad the tank kept you safe! I guess I loved my first car too.
I got in a horrible car accident in my first car thankfully no damage to the car but oh boy my back was bad
Cool video. 🙂
Oh man, my first car was a piece of work. Beat up old Volkwagon rabbit!
So glad you were okay! I learned how to drive in a boat too – my dad had an awful huge cadillac, that was a bear to parallel park!
My first car was an 80 something camaro! That was so long ago!
RIP Boat. I’ve always wanted a Subaru! My friend in HS had one and I loved it.
I had a Saturn for my first car and Loved it!!!!
Love the video! My first car was a brand new honda civic, which was in the shop more than an old car.
The secrets to a happy marriage seem to come naturally to some, and to elude others, so maybe getting some marital tips straight from our wise older generation who have had long-term happy marriages would be the way to go…after all, they did it right for decades! The Cornell University’s Legacy Project has collected tips […]
Beautiful, great tips! You are very informative with your marriage tips!
Great advice, not gonna lie, I need to focus on some of those more. He also has to marry me…. *grumble* *grumble* lol
I am certainly not the one to take advice from, as I have sworn never to get married again, but Matt and I have been together for over 7 years and these are great tips that could not ring more true!
Love Monday Marriage Memes!
Great tips! Life is better with your best friend which is why I married mine! 🙂 We are heading into our 18th year of marriage and are still going strong!
Great tips! You always have ones to think about – thanks!
My husband is my best friend. We’ve been through a lot together, and are even stronger now.
Those are great tips and some I definitely need to remember
I love this. I definitely married my best friend!
Great tips – and it’s always good to be reminded of them!
Love keeps no record of wrongs. Great tips.
Those are really great tips!
I just got married. Great tips!
Great post! I really enjoyed it! 🙂
So true! I’ve been married for 19 years and I still remember our Pastor telling us that marriage is never 50/50, but that a husband and wife will trade off who does more at different times and I have found that to be true. There are times when I’m truly giving more and times when he is better at that. Like life, marriage is work and changes through the years with life as it changes. Thanks for this great post that reminds me to remember to do my part and reminds me of the joys, too!
These are timeless, tested and true, tips. If all couples adhered to them, there would be much fewer (if any) divorces.
Wonderful, wonderful tips I definitely agree with them
Great tips! I love them. 🙂
So true about not keeping track. Grudges are small thorns in your marriage and they can grow to a full sized bush if you’re not careful.
I honestly don’t have much use for the apps, but I do love the GPS (so handy when yard saling, lol) and the camera!
Im jealous, I want one so bad.
Before this, I had those lame phones that took grainy pictures and basically did nothing but make calls (and not like this- no face time or the ability to do other things at the same time that I’m on a call)…so not only do I love it, but I totally recommend it…sooo worth it!
I LOVE IT… and the Pic’s WOW that is fantastic i can’t wait to hear more about your phone
Oh – congrats!!
I have the regular iphone 4 and love it. Did the camera change from the 4 to the 4s because my camera doesn’t blur the background 🙁
I have an android which I love now.. I’m with verizon who did just get the iphone and I might stick with android.. iPhone is so tempting though!
The phone on the iPhone 4s is supposed to be much better (for photos and video) than the 4, although the 4 is a great camera too.
You are going to love it! My favorite app is Instagram!
YES I love the camera on my 4s more than anything else and have in fact used it for several of my last review photos. Welcome to the club 🙂
I’m jealous of course
I have a Droid and I love it. They offer tons of free apps.
I am so wanting to join the club!!!
I can’t wait to finally get an iPhone! Soon!! Love your first picture! So sweet!
I tried (really I did) to do the touch screen and I just couldn’t do it. I am too used to the Blackberry. It is fun to play on but I can text on it to save my life.
I would not trade my iPhone for any other smart phone. Love it!
A belated welcome to the iPhone family! I love my iPhone and can’t wait til I can upgrade again!
