If I tried to recount all the lesson my Mom has taught me in the last 30 years I’d have to write a book. Or a volume of books. Maybe I’d roll it into a mini series. She’s that full of wisdom and the greatest asset to my motherhood journey. For starters, she taught me […]
For the better part of our marriage, Dominic has raved about this recipe. It’s kind of a wonder I’ve never shared it. Maybe because it’s so simple. But, simple and delicious is where I’m at these days when it comes to meal planning so here it is. I hope your family will be a fan […]
Popping in with a short and sweet, super simple recipe to kick off your weekend! And yes, I’ll forever be a fan of alliteration! My friend, Katie, shared it with me years ago and it’s a forever favorite around here. Hearty and healthy, there I go again!, it’s my go to when I deliver a meal to a […]

Nesting has me doing really crazy things this pregnancy. I’m organizing weird stuff and have a random list of projects that MUST HAPPEN OR ELSE. Seriously, you guys … I’m in the midst of unpacking all the tubs in our garage and color coding them based on their contents. Girl clothes are all in pink, […]

It’s not because he can’t, really, he’s an amazing cook! The blame all goes to his lame commute home from work. If we waited until he arrived home to start dinner, we […]

We’re having creamy pesto chicken pasta tonight and the little one might have some bites, but THIS is his main dish! My Texas sister is the ultimate cook. When I was pregnant with Max she had just graduated from college and was living at my parent’s house. We were too. It was that whole “we’re buying property […]
