Summer Recap
Holy smokes! Hello! I still exist, and I’m happy that you do too. We had an action-packed, relaxing, invigorating, magical summer. Hence the silence on my part. Umm, apparently June 4th was the last time I visited here, but I swear it was only two weeks ago. For real, June 4th? Don’t worry, I’m not…

How I Survived the Blizzard
You all know that I hate the cold. I would take 97F over -25F EVERY. TIME. And spending two hours shoveling my driveway, while a great workout, is not my idea of time well-spent. But I have to say, getting a four-day weekend is pretty spectacular. Guys. We got snow days!! Not one, but two!!…

How I roll
My son was laughing the other day, and I didn’t know why. Until I looked up from my camera and he was looking at me. You gotta do what you gotta do!

And Another
How on earth has another year passed already? You know what is the biggest difference between last year and this year? My child, my amazing child, is READING HIS OWN BIRTHDAY CARDS!! Obviously that’s not the only difference this last year has made, but I’d say that’s a pretty exciting difference. Wouldn’t you? Other changes…

Well, if this isn't inspiration
Then I don’t know what is. I know I haven’t posted anything in awhile. And while I’m kind of sorry about that, I also really enjoyed the downtime. I took some time to take photos just for fun. And because I wasn’t trying to get any kind of photo in particular, it helped me improve…

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you My KitchenAid Stand Mixer: (The folks at KitchenAid have no idea I exist, and I’m not getting paid or perked in any way. I’m just seriously in love with my mixer, and my amazing husband who gave it to me. This is a total gush post.) Remember…

When the holidays are over
You put away the decorations. Take down the lights. Pack up the tree shaped cookie cutters, and tuck away the red sprinkles. It’s kind of sad. More than kind of. Just taking down all the Christmas lights leaves me feeling a bit dim. It’s important to find something warm and comforting to look forward to.…

Survival Salad
We’ve had a long spring this year. A long wet spring. Great for the grass and my water bill, not so great for morale. So I’m overjoyed about 80+ degree weather. It’s seriously my favorite time of year. I may have mentioned it once or twice. (Or everyday of my life.) But even though I’m…

This thing that happens
There’s this thing that happens to me when the sun shines. Suddenly, things that were so stressful and worrisome become not such a big deal. Where I would have found myself saying no before, I now find myself enthusiastically saying yes. I find that making dinner can wait, because there’s something amazing happening in the…
