This is my new FAVORITE salad. It is fresh, filling and full of yummy goodness. For not having any meat in it, it sure is packed full of protein as well as healthy veggies and is topped with a delicious, sweet and sour cilantro drizzle. I made this for a family dinner one night when […]
I went to a mom’s group last week for the first time in this new city and the topic of coping mechanisms came up. As the women at my table and I went around introducing ourselves, we shared what our coping mechanism was when we became stressed. Some women said lighting candles helped. Some said […]
A few weeks ago I decided Gwyn needed a little “something” to help motivate and remind her of the daily “chores” she needs to accomplish. I also wanted to start teaching her more about responsibility, so I decided on making her a chore chart. I gathered some card stock, stickers and markers and was ready […]

I may have gone a little overboard with the first day of preschool pictures, […]
Do you ever have one of THOSE days? Via The horrible, no good, very bad kind? Yeah. I had one of those the other day. It started out at a cabin on the lake. How could that be bad? you might ask. Well, that was actually very nice. It was the following events that made […]
Oh Pinterest, you’ve done it again. This grilled caprese chicken with a balsamic reduction recipe was SO good. SOOOO so good. And EASY! The Hubby was beyond impressed and that, of course, makes me feel good. Here is the original recipe, and below are my adaptations. Ingredients: 6 grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2-3 Tbs olive oil […]
A couple weekends ago we went out to the lake and I tried something new. Wake surfing. It surprisingly wasn’t as hard as I anticipated, not that I did fantastic. And it was FUN! The Hubby was quite proud of me and decided we should try something he has never seen done by two adults […]
