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 […]
4 H
This year I have had the opportunity to help teach the local 4H club foods club. When I first signed up I assumed it would be fairly basic lessons, with a couple kids whose parent’s signed them up. Boy was I wrong. The little crew we had sign up are quite a hilarious mix of […]
Cheese Sticks and a bad attitude
Yesterday Little Chef was a grumpy little thing. I now realize it was because he was coming down with something because he had a case of the pukeys this morning. He had to call his Tante Lexi and tell her all about it because apparently that’s what we do in this family. Monday morning, I […]
High school Flashback
Today I went back to high school. Not to learn, but to teach. And man, what a flashback. I realized as I arrived that it has now been 10 years since I graduated, and folks that made me feel hella old. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the smell. All high […]
Caramels

It was a holiday season of epic proportions. Little Chef cooked about 14 new dishes, mommy ate more than her fair share, and James was damn near entering a diabetic coma from sugar over consumption. All in all a great success. For Christmas I made little chef a knife and tool roll and we bought […]
Christmas means..?
Because to me living knowing there is grace is like shopping with gift cards. It’s just that much better.
Top Secret
there is nothing that piques my interest like a top secret recipe stowed away with the young heroine on her journey across oceans to a new life in a strange land
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 […]
Barf Happens
Let’s start out by me saying, hello. Remember me? I’m that lady that used to make you laugh or cry a couple times a week. Lately I have been a bit quiet…. let me tell you why. As I hope you remember I am pregnant again with another one of James’ love goblins, and let […]
