Catch Up with Me

I figured I would give you a brief glimpse into what has been going on since I've been gone so long! I'll give you the Reader's Digest version, since it has been a while! Some of the things I mention are blog posts in and of itself, so you'll be hearing about them in due time!



October 2017 I was able to spend two glorious weeks in North Myrtle Beach! It was pure bliss. We had beautiful weather, and even checked off some things off of our Myrtle bucket list! My parents and I were able to go to Charleston! Seriously, this place is absolutely beautiful! I am going to need to go back there ASAP!



November 2017 was celebrating Thanksgiving and my dad's birthday!

December 2017 was my 30th birthday, Christmas, and all of the fun activities that happened in between!

January 2018 is where things go awry. Unfortunately only 10 days into the new year I was in a car accident. I'm still dealing with the repercussions of that. (Don't worry, I'll do a whole separate blog post on this!)


My accident had me laying pretty low for all of January and February. In March however, I was able to go to Pittsburgh to see DUKE in the NCAA tournament! My hopes and dreams literally came true when they announced that Duke received the Pittsburgh region. I was able to see both the Thursday and Saturday games.

April was Easter, and May was the end of school. In June, Mom and I were in full on flower mode, and one day we made THREE trips to pick up flowers from our favorite flower/produce auction.

July was fireworks, Tim Tebow, and Michael Jackson. (More on that later!)

August, is where we are today!

Hope you liked this little throwback into the past few months! It is so good to be back blogging!!!

P.S. I'm so sorry for the amount of selfies in this post.

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness!  In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

It's Been Awhile...

 Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet.  I will give you a little reintroduction of myself.  I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough.  I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here!  I...

YouTube-a-palooza

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!*  :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show!  You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6,  parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and  BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!"  He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...
