We’re back from an amazing extended weekend of much-needed holidays and, while that means a week of playing catch-up lies ahead, there is so much to be thankful for. Healthy, happy kids who love me and each other. A baby who has figured out how to turn head down and is now growing well and […]
Vanilla Chocolate Chip Muffins
I think it’s high time we had a theme week here at Hidden Ponies! We almost had a breakfast theme going, but it was never quite official or quite consistent – so welcome to official MUFFIN WEEK! An official name means good things are sure to follow :) Today’s muffin recipe is a simple […]
Mason Jar Display Wall – Take 2
Remember when I thought it would be such a good idea to plant my herbs in mason jars and hang them on my walls? Yeah. I should’ve realized that you don’t put some things where the sun don’t shine and expect them to thrive. Long story short, the herbs moved to my kitchen windowsill, where […]
Hours I can never get back
Some things happen and I look back and wish I could get those hours back and have a redo. I know it’s not worth it to look back, since that just wastes more time, but remembering can also prevent me from making the same mistakes twice. Examples? Watching “Old School”, or any Will Ferrell movie, […]
It’s a jungle out there!
Have you ever been to a private zoo? From my (admittedly limited) experience, they compare to the “big” zoos like afternoon tea with the queen compares to an impromptu beach barbecue with friends. Both things you are interested in doing. But one is very proper and a planned event, taking over your day, while the […]
Holiday Happenings
We’re having a great time on holidays, despite the flu making an unexpected appearance and minor windstorms on the beach coating us in sand! Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been up to for the last week! And to think a whole other week of fun still awaits :) Aside from the wedding excitement and […]
Monday Must-Haves
What are some things that have made you happy lately? Things you’re looking forward to? Things you love, want, or need? These are just a few things that fall into some of those categories for me :) 1) Clothing exchanges. I have been to two in the last month, the first two of my life. […]
Double Trouble
Gemma loves her little brother, but he just doesn’t hold a candle to this sweet little cousin she can still hang on to, and who finds her every move wildly entertaining. Especially when the little miss showed up in a matching pink shirt, Gemma was beside herself with nurturing excitement. We had the pleasure of […]
How are babies made?
No one could possibly have had a better reaction than Gemma to hearing about my pregnancy. When I was rubbing my stomach one night as she brushed her teeth, thinking to myself how quickly I was gaining weight and how my varicose veins were already really a nuisance, she asked what I was doing. I […]
Monday Must-Haves
Happy Monday! It’s a holiday Monday ’round these parts, which means no work for me, and lots of time to bake and cook and craft! I have a bunch of recipes from last spring and summer calling my name, wanting to be made again, so I thought I’d give you a little run-down of some […]
