This sweet, joyful, cuddly little guy is 6 months old today! Does half a year really go by so fast? He is fully into the toe-grabbing stage, which is always one of my favourites, although socks are out of the question unless they are clean and non-fluffy enough to qualify as chew toys. He is […]
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.

Saturday Sweets: Salted Pretzel Blondies
It’s Saturday and it’s HOT. Summer, you surprised me too soon, as I knew you would. If you feel like turning on your oven, and you like the salty sweet combination so popular these days, at least I can tell you these squares will be worth breaking a sweat for! For the recipe, head over […]
Apple Pie Muffins
Well, you all know how I feel about muffins. And how much stronger those feelings are when there’s a streusel topping involved. Mom hit the nail on the head here. I definitely ate a lot of these growing up, and just look how I turned out! ;) Thanks for another great post, Mom! **************************************************** It […]
The “You’re Gonna Miss This” Threat
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 […]
