Nothing quite says North Carolina summer like a concrete custard from Goodberry’s. Goodberry’s is probably our family’s most loved frozen dessert.

It’s been almost 3 years since Joe and I got married. Some times it feel like just yesterday and other times it feels like we’ve been together for years. Just this weekend I was looking through our wedding and honeymoon photos. I wish I could relive those days every day. For our honeymoon we spent…
It’s almost that time of year again, the first day of school. When I was in school I loved shopping for school supplies. Nothing beats freshly sharpened pencils and a brand new notebook.
