This first blog post will hopefully be the most boring post I will ever have the pleasure of making. It’s like going to your first day of high school when the teacher wants you to share a little bit about yourself. It’s supposed to be a fun ice breaker, but there is so much pressure behind the teacher’s seemingly simple request. It is your one chance to prove to your classmates that you’re cool.

So, this is me, proving to you, new reader, that I am just as cool as any other blogger out there! I want to be able to inspire a new favorite dinner or help you create a new family heirloom.

My name is Lauren Everson, Auburn grad and Air Force wife. I was born in Chicago and as such am an avid Chicago sports fan, but I am most definitely a Florida girl because at the age of 8 we moved to SWFL.  In May of 2010 I graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and got married to (prepare for cheesy) the love of my life.  We are currently stationed in the Florida panhandle, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot! With my parents 9 hours away and his 6, it’s as close as we can get to splitting the difference.

This blog will narrate the adventures I take with my multiple hobbies. My most common posts will be about cooking and quilting. But I also enjoy photography, travel, and as it’s only logical, scrapbooking. I also have a minor obsession with decorating for holidays and therefore, each holiday will be celebrated with its own post (or five)!

Just as we all know that first impression doesn’t define your entire four years of high school, I hope you come to find something that interests you and stay for what little bit of wit and humor I can muster.

Thank you, and War Eagle!
