I think memory foam has gone too far. When it first came out to top beds, I thought it seemed like a reasonably good idea for people who always sleep in the same position. When I saw it in pillows, I understood the value of a well-supported neck, and a pillow that knew where that […]
About Anna
I believe in God, the power of optimism, and the ability of food to bring people together. I love to share everyday homemade food with family and friends (and the internetz)! I love cheese, proper grammar, an organized house, dark chocolate, my husband, and my 5 sweet kids.

Monday Moments: One Week New
What should one do in their first week of life? Saving you pictures of the standard, less-than-pretty baby input/output systems, there are a few other things to keep oneself busy. Visiting with Grandma, for instance. Gowning up for baptism, also. Hanging out with Dad and one’s doting big brother is a great way to pass […]
Mom’s Recipes: Easy Roast Chicken
You guys, my mom is here AND she’s here! What, you say? That’s right, she’s at my house AND she’s on the blog. What fun :) And all these delicious recipes she shares with us all? She’s actually making some of them for me, and it is fabulous. I wish she would never leave. Thankfully I […]
Introducing Gavin Fletcher!
Carl and I are so thrilled and thankful to introduce our sweet new baby boy, Gavin Fletcher!Gavin was a solid 9 lbs, proving me right where Carl thought I had been exaggerating about the maxed out capacity of my insides. Determined to make it to the hospital in time for drugs for the first time, I suffered through about […]
Monday Moments: Girly Girl
My sweet baby girl is growing up so fast, and I can’t believe she’s starting full time school in only one short week. I feel like I haven’t had enough time with her this summer, but I think she feels she’s had more than enough time with me – she can’t wait for Grade 1 […]

Cinnamon rolls already give off one of the most amazing smells known to man, and […]
Teach Your Girls to Expect Their Man to Help
Maybe it’s because I’m getting larger and waddlier (definitely a word) by the day, or maybe it’s because I’ve spent a semester discussing feminism in all its variations, but I think it’s time to talk about a really important thing: depending on a man for help. Now, I’m not saying women can’t do amazing things, […]
Chewy Monster Cookie Bars
Well, I think we’re officially ready for baby to make its appearance as finally, wonder of wonders, last night we settled on baby names we agree on. It’s nowhere near what I thought we’d choose for a boy, I’m not entirely convinced it goes with our current names, but with only 9 days till due […]
Mom’s Recipes: Slow Cooker Tomato Sauce
I always forget about the existence of slow cookers in the summer, since comfort food at this time of year comes more in the form of barbecue and no-bake, but this recipe makes pulling it out an absolute must! If you think making your own tomato sauce is too time consuming, you need this recipe […]
Monday Moments: Fair’s Fair
As of this week I can officially wash my hands of prostitution, having successfully wrapped up a final exam on the subject and heading into the home stretch with only one exam left this week before I can kick back and wait for baby to make his or her appearance. If only washing my mind […]
