I never knew how hard being a Mother would be. The late nights, early mornings and middle of the night sick kids are hard. But that part of motherhood isn’t the hardest part of motherhood. Not by a long shot. Balancing dance and soccer schedules, doctors appointments, working from home, the kids school schedules along [...]
This week will be full of fun. My husband and I are spending our 11th anniversary….(birds tweeting, and tweeting) We don’t know where!! We have decided to wait and see where the sale fares for the week may take us. A last minute spontaneous little adventure. We’ve talked about spending the weekend skiing somewhere, going [...]
No, we do NOT call them these in front of the kids. We call it “monkey bread” to them. But they don’t really resemble bread, it kind of resembles… Just use your imagination. Or not. Hmmm… This bread tops our Sunday favorites list and is always asked for. You’re supposed to bake it in a [...]
There is one combination that just screams winter to me. Pomegranates and oranges. Mix the two together, and the flavor is just perfect. I was looking for something sweet, but spicy too. On my counter sat a box of clementine oranges. A pomegranate was sitting next to the clementines. And it was lunchtime and I [...]
What’s your family food assignment this year? I’m in charge of rolls and sweet potato casserole. Definetely going to bring some cinnamon butter and raspberry butter. I think the family will love it!

I forgot how hot it is this time of year to walk to and from the school. When the kids and I arrived home, we were so thirsty! Our neighbors had put up a lemonade stand, and had made this delicious goji berry, honey and lemonade mix. As we talked she told me how the [...]
With the hot August days of summer in full swing, cooking in the kitchen is not something that I want to be doing. I don’t enjoy it, and with the air conditioning working overtime, I hate to add to it’s burden by spending my time by the oven. Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients [...]
Thunder and lightning has preoccupied our weather here lately. It’s been humid here, as evidenced by my garden weed pulling that left me changing my clothes after only a half an hour. By the time the afternoon and early evening rolled around and several more rounds of lightning and thunder rolled in–cooking was NOT an [...]
Nothing says summer like an ice cold glass of lemonade. But fresh squeezed watermelon lemonade is a treat that combines the tartness of lemons with the sweetness of watermelon to in a combination that just clicks. It’s a combination that just works together and is so deliciously sweet and refreshing. Ingredients 1 10 oz bottle [...]
