I’m Candi, a foodie and lifestyle blogger. I’m a wife to my handsome husband since 1988, who was also my high school sweetheart. I’m also a mom to 3 mostly adult children, two young adult boys and my long awaited teenage daughter.
I enjoy volunteering at my at my church in addition to helping my husband with his air conditioning business. Some of my favorite things are a constant desire to educate myself in photography, baking science, crushing debt, social media and techie sort of things. I also have an obsession with Starbucks Iced Tea.


I started blogging in 2010 as a way to be creative and leave a legacy for my children with my writings. In addition, I hope to give back or pay it forward to anyone who I can help. I have had some true blessings this past year and appreciate all the help I was given professionally and personally.
