I know I’ve mentioned before that my kiddo is not your average sized two year old. The area that I have the hardest time finding things to fit is in the pajama department. They make kids pajamas sooo long and narrow. And tight. My boy is long, but not so narrow. I’ve had to squeeze [...]

Remember those tomatoes I was talking about? 50 pounds of them? Yeah, they are all peeled, seeded, diced, and canned into 17 quart jars. I’ll be enjoying these bad boys in soups, stews, and sauces for the year to come. I couldn’t have done it without the help of my amazing mama. It is a [...] Sometimes there is an abundance of silence on this blog because I don’t feel like I have anything particularly exciting, creative, or interesting to share. That has NOT been the case over the past two weeks! On the contrary, there has been silence because I’ve been too busy doing stuff I really want to share [...] I’m often asked by people, “how do you do it all?” My answer is pretty straightforward: “I don’t.” Facebook. Blog posts. Little snippets of conversation. Quick answers to “How are you?” All these things lead to a very warped understanding of what’s really going on in someone’s life. We all talk about the good things–the [...] I’ve tried making my own tomato soup before, and well, it just didn’t go as planned.

I decided–what could be a simpler craft than creating potato stamps, using fabric paint, and decorating some white onesies? Well, as it [...] Now that I’m halfway done with this pregnancy (can I hear an, “Amen!”?), I figured it was high time to start crafting for this little one. I was feeling very uninspired before I knew the gender, but now all that has changed. Even though I’ve got boy stuff coming out of my ears from Parker’s [...] After a summer of needing to simplify in the kitchen, I am back into the swing of things as Fall approaches. Fall is my favorite cooking season. I get so giddy when the September issue of Cooking Light arrives! I love the heartier meals that come with the cooler weather. Not to mention the baking. [...] Even though we live two-thousand miles away from all of our family, we’ve been blessed to spend a decent amount of time with each family member. None more so than Brian’s grandfather, Pop. He has spent the last three summers with us, helping us renovate our house. Two years ago he spent two months with [...] One day we decided it was high time to do something about our bathroom. It was in okay shape, but it really wasn’t our style and there were some funky things about it. We live in a relatively small, one bathroom house. So to have NO storage in the bathroom (we only had a pedestal [...] |
