Have you noticed I’ve been totally slacking on the blogging lately? It makes me kinda sad, since I love this little internet place that lets me go on about anything and everything, and I miss it. But not as much as I miss my cookies. Get it? I’ve been losing my cookies? Yes, you got […]
6 Years and Counting
Well, I may be a couple days late, but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to mention the fact that Carl and I celebrated 6 years of marriage on Sunday! Photo credit: Charlene Stam Photography Caught up amidst Gemma’s birthday and Mother’s Day, our anniversary is always the milestone that gets a quick mention and very […]
Birthday Girl
My beautiful girl turns 4 tomorrow! It feels like yesterday she made her appearance in the world, instantly making us fall in love with her and changing our lives for the better. I remember being blown away as Carl and I walked out of the hospital with her that they were letting us take a […]
Whole Wheat Lemon Raspberry Muffins
I think it’s fairly well established that I am a muffin lover. So instead of rehashing that, can we talk about painting prep? I know, it’s a random subject, but with summer around the corner I have already had to deal with several interesting conversations in my job at a paint store. Take yesterday, for […]
“Diary of a Mad Fat Girl” and a Giveaway! (Giveaway closed)
It’s been quite quiet here on the Hidden Ponies front this week! I do apologize – I’ve been busy enjoying the company of my dad, visiting all the way from across the country for a few days :). Rest assured, we’ve been eating – in fact, I made eclairs again (they’re that easy), these cookies […]
I need a solution
My cat is addicted to contact solution. You’d think I would have him hooked on cookie dough or meat scraps, but no. Contact solution is what turns him into a yowling fiend when locked out of the bathroom, what causes him to climb my legs at warp speed from ankle to waist with his many […]

What I’ve Learned
You know those mornings? You know, those mornings, when you’re up at 5am writing a blog post, when you’d really rather be curled in your deliciously warm and cozy bed, but someone *ahem* is making that quite impossible? It’s true. My adorable and sweet little baby girl, has decided that 5 am is now an […]
The Baby Naming Challenge
I have a rambunctious, dramatic, jealous, clingy, climbing, unreasonable, pushy, frustrating, totally loveable 16-month-old boy named Kristopher. Kristopher means “bearer of Christ”, which I love. But really, most days I’m surprised he has a name at all. Choosing a boy’s name just about killed me. It just about ended my marriage. It prevented me from […]
Merry Christmas!
We hope you all have a very merry Christmas, even if, like us, your family is spread way too far apart, you decided against buying many gifts, you didn’t finish all the baking and cleaning and painting and organizing and sleeping you had planned…the real reason for the season means that none of that matters, […]
