Stop Singing Oceans.

In a manner unlike a normal Annie-post, I’m gonna get my preach on here, people. You’ve got to stop singing Oceans. (Here’s the song if you want it playing in the background as I tell you to stop singing it.) If you are in a contemporary worship church, then you probably sing it. If you

It’s Monday. You Need Ice Cream.

So in a world where not everyone gets to eat ice cream (me) because it is always made with milk and not everyone loves to have milk in their lives (me), this “ice cream” recipe is nothing short of heroic. You know, for dairy-free gals (like me). My friend Liz mentioned banana ice cream Sunday

52 Hours In Nashville

So tomorrow morning, two of my best friends from across the pond land here in Nashville. Yes. For the first time EVER, my Scotland BFFs will be seeing my Nashville life and I am so excited that I CAN BARELY STAND IT, Y’ALL. But, I’m also mildly panicked. They will only be here 52 hours. FIFTY-TWO
