Bumpdate – 25 weeks

Bumpdate – 25 weeks

It's been a quiet month over here, but I'm jumping back on for another pregnancy update! I've missed blogging and I really do want to keep track of certain things for the future, it's just hard to find the time. I think this is only my second bumpdate of the entire pregnancy, actually. With Jameson [...]

18 Months of Jameson

I'm a little late with this post (sheesh, it's hard work keeping up with this kid) but I can't believe we have a one and a half year old! Jameson is really coming into his own now, and we see bits of each of us in his looks and personality...plus a whole lot that is [...]

A sweet treat for your valentine 

A sweet treat for your valentine 

Valentine's Day is over and gone, but these little treats can be made all year long! (If you end an argument with a rhyme, it's convincing all the time. I learned that from "How I Met Your Mother.")

Ever since we bought our first house a few months ago I've been itching to start a little patio garden out back.

Okay get ready. If you're a fan of baked oatmeal (or oatmeal in any capacity) you MUST stop what you're doing and try this recipe right now. No I'm serious, RIGHT NOW. (By the way, I've never posted a recipe on my blog before and I'm really not much of a chef, so that should [...]

Halloween 2016

Wow, okay. This post is super late. It's November and I'm blogging about Halloween. Stuff came up, things got busy, I was needed for a top secret mission. But I really do like documenting all the major holidays for future me to look back on, so here I am...blogging about Halloween in November. Hope you [...]

Oct 2016 // Mother Nature’s Farm

Monday nights are family nights for us. Alex gets home for work, we pack up Jameson and the Charlie woof, and we head over to my parents' house for dinner and dessert (right now my mom has these really yummy sugar cookies from Costco at her house, which have this weird power over me like [...]
