I have to say, even though I can’t do it every single time, there is something incredibly satisfying about being able to take a bunch of beautiful, fresh ingredients & blend them into a lovely creamy baby meal. I started buying organic jarred baby food when Sam came along but it cost a fortune and […]
Spaghetti Baby, Zombies & Addams…oh my!
Last night was AMAZING. It was by far the best Halloween we’ve had yet! The costumes were awesome, the kids totally got into character, even the little meatball cooperated! The best part though was being able to finally see all of our friends & family gathered together, walking down the street of our adorable neighborhood, […]
Dinner tonight: Pasta Primavera with Chicken
Ask and Ye Shall Receive… I have to say, no exaggeration, this might just be the best thing I’ve ever made. Ok, except that time I made steak sandwiches on homemade everything bagels, because c’mon, fresh bread, but it’s a darn close second. The thing is, it really isn’t anything I did that made it […]
blackened mango salmon with coconut rice
A few of you were asking about the “kid friendly salmon” on my instagram post last weekend. Well my friend, this is it! Yup- a blackened salmon dish is kid friendly, not a typo, I swear, it works! This also happens to be my go-to “impress company with your mad culinary skillz” dish. Little do […]
Sophie’s Whimsical Garden Bedroom
What do you think?? Considering we’re renters and I can’t do any major changes aside from paint I think we pulled off a pretty cozy and memorable room. Soph seems to be a happy client, she says looking up at the butterflies helps her have good dreams. I’m not so sure it’s that magical […]
driving home photo album
Hello my sweet friend! I know I haven’t been on here in awhile. A longgg while, but it’s not because I haven’t been writing. I was talking with my mom recently & was lamenting to her about how I felt trapped on a roller coaster of emotions that I damn well wanted off of. Normally […]
A week of me.
*sigh* Right about now I’m guessing my girls are waiting in line for a ride on Aladdin’s magic carpet…for the 7th time in a row. We agreed P would have Spring Break this year so he took the little princesses to their mother ship, Disney. Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely grateful that not only […]
pocket change
Have you ever turned to a tv show to help understand what’s happening in ‘real life’? I certainly hope you’re answer is ‘yes’ otherwise this has the distinct possibility of sounding quite ridiculous. In college, for me, it was without a doubt Sex & the City. I was Carrie with a dash of Charlotte & […]
Who you are
On most days there comes a time, usually after school when the house is bustling & everyone is at home together, where my little angels, Samantha & Sophie, try to kill each other. I’m serious you guys. Although not like, ‘How to Get Away with Murder’ one another, but certainly inflicting bodily harm kind of […]
My Good Nook :: DIY built-in kitchen banquette bench
It’s funny, I sat down to write this post & I typed, “I bet you were probably starting to wonder if I was going to post again…” but then I thought, Hmmm, that sounds mighty familiar. And I’d be right. It is familiar. Because it’s exactly how I started my last post! I wish I […]
