Like a dish cooked, seasoned, and plated, we are more than the sum of our ingredients and experiences. We are mothers. Mother’s who are changed and will change.

Baked Chicken Sourdough
I have just decided that raising small children is a lot like being addicted to a hardcore drug. It has amazing ups, and life threatening downs, and you end up doing things in public you never every thought you would.
Last days as a duo
Today I am really feeling nostalgic for my last days as a mother of one. Maybe it’s because Little Chef has been the vision of happy perfection today {I better not jinx myself and he ends up a terror this afternoon}, or maybe it’s my due date with #2 fast approaching, but I feel like […]
Buttery Carbs as Therapy
This morning little chef woke up at 4:30 am, and after hushing him back to sleep (because under no circumstances was I ready to start my cheerio throwing day at 4:30) I laid in bed unable to fall back asleep. Suddenly in the dark the weight of the world came crashing down on my chest […]

Round Two
Being pregnant with the second child is kind of like going back for your next year of high school and being sent back to kindergarten. I know that it should seem logical to everyone except myself apparently that you have to start form scratch with each pregnancy, but the concept and the reality are a […]
Adding to the Team
Staffing is always in issue in restaurant kitchens. Cooks for whatever reason seem to be a transient type people who drift from place to place and don’t stay put for long.
