Do you want to know how you can thoroughly annoy your husband? Let me tell you. The weekend after one of the most important/busiest/most stressful week’s of his career, you and The Hubby need to take an overnight trip to the “big city” to visit family, spend some time together and “unwind.” After dropping the […]

I apologize in advance for the awkward tilt your head will have to do when viewing this video. But, if I were to win free money I would be fist pumping, which made me think of this video and I just had to share it. Sometimes I feel so technologically dysfunctional and get myself all worked […]
How does free lunch with your special someone sound? Or how about a free date-night at the movies, popcorn and soda included? Or how does a third-tank (depending on vehicle) of gas sound? Or a new shirt at the mall? (We’re not talking at the Gap here, maybe Forever 21.) What about five foot-long sandwiches […]
When I originally began this blog, I thought I would predominantly write about my baking adventures with a little crafting and family life on the side. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeell. It’s been a while now and it is clear that this is not a baking blog. It LOOKS like a baking blog. The name SOUNDS like a baking […]
It had been over four months since I had gotten my hair cut. FOUR MONTHS! With straight, highlighted hair, that is just not okay!! My ends were horrendous and I can’t even get myself to talk about the growth. I mean, LOOK AT THAT! But as a new mom of two, I just couldn’t find the time […]
Prepare yourselves, this is a bit of a long look inside a day-in-the-life. If you get to the end, I applaud you and we should be friends, if not already. 3:30 am- Alarm wakes me up to pump. Check e-mail, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with one eye closed. 6:45- Cal wakes up, I nurse him […]
Last week I mentioned that I was entering a pie into the fair. I knew I was up against some stiff competition, as those old ladies don’t mess around, but I thought it’d be fun nonetheless. Caramel Apple Tree Apple Pie So The Hubby and I took Gwyn on a “daughter date,” with Cal staying […]
I think I am beginning to hate marshmallows. As an incentive for Gwyn to use the potty, I filled a pretty little jar with those tiny, pastel, tempting, marshmallows that I just knew my toddler would oodle over. My own mom potty-trained me using these marshmallows and apparently it worked well. I mean, I’ve only […]
It’s “county fair season” here where I live, which means two weekends in a row of fairs, one in each of the towns that sandwich my own. I did not grow up around this kind of thing. Barnyard animals? I read about them in Charlotte’s Web and I sung about them in Old Macdonald. The […]
When I was a first time parent (wow, am I really saying this already???) I was a high-strung, stressed out, flinched at every peep kind of mama. I hated the sound of my baby crying and did everything I could to prevent it. I was reminded of this a few weeks ago when talking with […]
