We’ve all seen the poems, the articles, and the books. “Mom, I won’t always be small, and you’re going to miss these days – enjoy it while it lasts.” While there are certainly aspects of truth in this, I find these things can make us feel guilty about the things we don’t appreciate, the things […]

Orange Sunshine Loaf
This is probably the best loaf I have ever had. Period. I don’t make loaves very often, besides a zucchini loaf I absolutely love. I find I can never get through them before they dry out, since Carl has some kind of aversion to anything called a “loaf”. Put the same ingredients in muffin or […]
FASHION FRIDAY: The Little Red Blazer
So excited to welcome my sister Erin back for her monthly fashion feature! I seriously just want to go to my closet and start trying random things on together. This is a great one, guys. Remember, you can follow Erin’s finds on Facebook, or purchase some of them from her Etsy shop, The Laughing Chickadee. […]
Caramelized Bacon
I am aware that what I am showing you today looks a lot like the dog’s breakfast. However, I can assure you with reasonable (if untested) certainty that caramelized bacon tastes absolutely nothing like the dog’s breakfast. Although, if you gave this to your dog for breakfast, I imagine you would be slathered in adoring […]
Monday Moments
Daddies are the best, aren’t they? I mean, obviously, mommies are THE best, but daddies are just the best. This is what happens while I do dishes, and I love listening to the happy sounds coming from the other room. And this is what happens when all the toys are successfully put away and everyone’s […]
Saturday Funny
No sweets for you today because I wasn’t sure if Caramelized Bacon counts as a Saturday Sweet or not…what are your thoughts on that? Chelsea did, however, point me to this K-Mart ad that I cannot stop laughing about, so you have her to thank for a Saturday smile :) Have a great weekend, everyone!
Nick’s Seafood Stromboli
So you know how Chelsea used to post pretty often on this here blog? (She’s a busy lady these days, but I’m convinced we’ll see her back one day :)). And then my sister Sarah shared her amazing photography skills for a few delicious posts, and even her bun recipe for one post. And then my sister […]
Monday Moments
I am going to miss this little face when it heads to school in September. People think I’m joking when I say her going to school means I’ll have to be the parent again, but really, pretty much the only thing she doesn’t do is change diapers. It is no joke, my friends. Please send […]
Lemon Coconut Tarts with Homemade Lemon Curd
Are they tarts or are they mini pies? I had a hard time deciding, but since the lemon curd filling made me think of lemon pie, we’re going with mini pies. Whatever you want to call these little bites, they’re easy, they’re springy, they’re cute, and they’re gluten and dairy free! I made these last […]
Pink Chantilly with Cranberries {Cookbook Review}
Have you noticed this jar trend gathering steam? Desserts, salads, granola, cookie mixes, lemonade, soup mixes…everything is so cute and organized in jars! You can bring your lunch to work in them, give gifts in them, and keep your dessert all to yourself in them. In keeping with this trend, I’m excited to be sharing […]
Bacon & Gouda Twice-Baked (or Slow Cooker) Potatoes
I consider myself a fairly confident person. I make decisions with minimal thought, and I don’t care a whole lot what other people think of those decisions as long as I’m comfortable with them. I wear whatever I like, I eat what I feel like, and I go out without doing my hair. But let […]
Monday Moments
Our sweet 4-year-old is a proud preschool graduate :) I’m not sure there’s anything cuter than a bunch of eager 4-year-old faces singing songs, reciting scripture verses, and showing off everything they’ve learned over the year. The same incredible woman has been teaching kids their Bible basics for 28 years now – that’s something worth […]
