About Me

Hi y'all!  I'm Brandi

I live in a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee, with my really amazing boyfriend and our five kids (ages 11, 9, 9, 8, and 6!)  We're a modern day Brady Bunch!  I work for a real estate company with plans to go back to school to obtain my paralegal certification. 


I grew up in central Arkansas (GO HOGS!), spent a few years in Texas, and have been in Memphis going on seven years now.  I came to this city kicking and screaming but now I absolutely love it and don't want to ever leave.

I began this blog back in 2009 as a scrapbooking blog.  Aaaaaand I don't think I've made or posted a scrapbook page since, oh, about 2010.  This blog has seen me through a lot of life changes: moving from Dallas to Memphis, a new baby, divorce, finding love again, blending families.  It's definitely become my scrapbook!  I don't write about anything in particular these days, just lots of deep thoughts.  Kidding!  You won't find many of those around here but I do enjoy writing about food, some about travel, about things to do and eat around my adopted hometown, and you'll definitely find a few rants and raves and the occasional kid story.  Mostly I just keep it real.  Because it's the 2010's and that's what we're supposed to do.


I'm a big fan of the 90's.  I think Steel Magnolias is the best movie ever made and you BEST not argue with me.  I love food and trying new restaurants.  My dream job would be a traveling food writer.  I love entertaining in my home and cooking for people who love to eat.  The beach is my preferred vacation spot but I also love me a big city.  My family rocks.  I have an amazing group of girlfriends.  College football (GO HOGS!) is just about my favorite thing ever.  I love cupcakes, Coke Zero, cold beer on a Friday any night, Eric Church, summertime, and the city of New Orleans.
