Almost two months have past and I haven’t shared pictures of Sasha’s birthday cake –oops. Both our families came to help her celebrate. It is always fun having a house full of people since I love to entertain. I made two different kinds of lasagna, Caesar salad with homemade croutons, and garlic bread. My inspiration [...]

Two years ago Penelope was a newborn. She is 24 hours old in that photo. In the last two years she has grown and changed so much. She is a very sweet, loving, funny, opinionated, wonderful toddler. She loves penguins. For Sasha’s birthday we had a fiesta theme, and I thought it would be fun [...]
I just realized that it has been almost a month since I’ve posted a recipe. The month of September has passed by so quickly, and to be honest I haven’t really done a whole lot of actual cooking this month. Don’t worry I’m not losing it. The reason for my absence is that we moved [...]

I stumbled across Hershey’s “Perfectly [...]
If you are here for the first time, you can see the first photos here and read about the first update here. Over Mother’s Day weekend I went back to my parent’s house and took photos of everything that was visible in their garden. Mom and Dad have planted lots of different things (I think [...]
I went back to my parent’s house for Mother’s Day weekend, and I asked my dad to give me a tour of the garden. I grabbed my camera and a notebook to jot notes. I’ve got a list of almost everything they have planted (26 different things will be planted), and photos of everything that [...]
Take note fathers and children, Mother’s Day is quickly approaching. Do you want to serve your mother or wife breakfast in bed? Bless your heart! These breakfast cups take little effort to put together, and they can be personalized to your family’s flavor preferences. In the bottom of my cups I have colby-jack cheese and [...]
I mentioned earlier that my parents were putting in a giant garden this year. I am going to do my best to blog about it, even though I live two hours away. A couple weeks ago my dad bought a new Rototiller and started the whole gardening process. As you can see, the land my [...]
