Sunny’s Entertaining: 2nd Annual Xmas in July! #family

Posted in #Sunny'sEntertaining, Christmas in July (Xmas in July), family, Sunny's Special Occasions by

I am happy to say that our 2nd Annual Xmas in July Southern Living Magazine Christmas Cake Baking Party was a success!

with Sam, Esar (my niece’s lovely French foreign exchange student-who was the stand-in for my daughter) and Lauren

Last year I got the bright idea (?!) of getting the girls in the family together with my daughter and my nieces, along with my mom, to bake a Southern Living Magazine Christmas Cake. Despite the heat, outside and in the kitchen inside, we had so much fun that a tradition was born. However, just like the recipe for the cake itself, it takes a lot more planning than you would think trying to coordinate everyone’s schedules and get everyone together at the same time.  Continue reading →

Cheers to the weekend!

If you are ever feeling like you are afraid to go for something that you have always wanted to do, you can just remind yourself of me in this crazy situation and you will never feel afraid, or bad about yourself again! I hope it gives you a little laugh-it has me! From my January column in B-Metro Magazine: Photo: Billy Brown

A Picture Perfect Christmas Card!

Posted in B-Metro Column by

For Everyone that is feeling just like me: I am sure that everybody is relaxing this Sunday afternoon, with your house and tree completely decorated and all your shopping done, and your gifts all beautifully wrapped, and your twenty dozen cookies are baked and delivered and you’ve finished your work-out and showered and your hair is fixed and your perfume is on and your wearing your sexy silk evening gown, and sipping some fine wine while you are lying on the sofa by the firelistening to some Christmas jazz with dinner simmering on the stove (a little something you whipped up from Southern Living), and you have nothing left to do and so you’re beginning to feel a little bored; May I suggest you settle in to read my column in this month’s B-Metro: The Magazine of Metro Birmingham Living ? Hahahahaha! http://b-metro.com/a-picture-perfect-holiday/31376/

I’m About to Take It All Off!

They’re Heeere!

I am so excited that my long awaited book is finally here-and I can’t wait to share it with everyone! Tomorrow will be a bit revealing-as I will be dropping the wrap and coming out from undercover.

I will say, that if it hadn’t been for my husband believing that the essays that I have written for B-Metro Magazine needed to be in a book for more people to enjoy, that it would never have happened. Self-Publishing is much more involved than I can get my head around so this is really a collaborative project that I owe mostly to his efforts (not unlike our almost 29 year marriage-ha!). So, on behalf of my husband, I hope that tomorrow you will check back here for the big reveal and click on over to Amazon and get yourself a copy of my new book, and that it gives you a laugh or two for the day. And, I give a big shout out to all of you self-published authors out there-what an achievement! ~ Sunny:)
