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…

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…

Dreamboat
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…

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…

Winter Brew Fest
Missoula loves to celebrate. Especially when it comes to beer. So twice a year we have a Brew Fest to celebrate all the local and regional brews we have access to. Unfortunately, I don’t like beer. At all. This wouldn’t be so bad if my husband weren’t a home brewer. I like sangria. And wine…

Merry Christmas!
It’s been pretty quiet around here lately. Let me explain. My laptop died. You know, the one I’ve had since 2007? My beloved, solid as a rock, ancient-but-still-totally-usable 2007 Mac Book? One day it was totally fine, and the next, gone. Just gone! It was seriously upsetting, and I may have cried big crocodile tears…

Ramblings
I have a recipe to share with you, I promise!! But it needs just a little more tweaking. Which involves re-making it and taking new photos. Trust me, this is a good thing. For me. Because I’ll get to eat it. Eventually it will be a good thing for you, because you’ll get to eat it.…

Summa
I can’t admit how much it saddens me that summer is almost over. Hold on, yes I can. And I’ve been telling everyone for the last week. So rather than focusing on how dark it’s getting in the mornings/evenings, and how much I hate being cold, I’m trying to squeeze every last drop of summer…

Pasta Salad
You know how every family has a set of side salads that appear at functions? Like Grandma’s broccoli salad, or Auntie’s guacamole? We’ve got those too. But we have things like “Romance Jello” or “Frog Eye Salad.” We were hilarious as kids. Those side dishes are wonderful, but this one is a little different. It…
