When we passed through Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this summer, 5 of the 7 of us went white water rafting on the Snake River (the other 2 of us went horse back riding, which I’ll be sharing very soon, I promise!). Everyone had a blast rafting. Although they couldn’t have cameras on the raft, I […]
It’s not every day that I get to brag to my friends that some of my recipes have been included in a cookbook. I figured that an awesome day like this was worth bragging about…at least a little. Note: in appreciation for contributing to The Everything Gluten-Free Breakfast And Brunch Cookbook, author (and friend) […]
This post brought to you by Butterball Every Day. All opinions are 100% mine. As my kids have gotten older, I’ve noticed something - I seem to have less time than I’ve ever had to get dinner on the table. Between homework, after school activities, sports, and my own work that always carries over into […]
OK, I realize that not all of these are selfies….but in just 2 days in Los Angeles I’ve taken and posted more pictures of myself than I have in the last 2 months. It must be the hair cut. I can’t wait to tell you all about the trip that I’m on…but for now […]
Birthdays are pretty frequent occurrence at our house, with 7 birthdays in 7 different months. I was excited participate in the Reddi-wip #PartyReddi campaign, because who doesn’t love an excuse to celebrate a birthday? Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own. No matter if we’re celebrating a first birthday or a […]
It’s the curse of the school year. It seems that no sooner have the kids started back to school than the sniffles and the coughs begin. I know that my kids are not the only ones who bring EVERYTHING home from school. “Cold season” is generally considered to last from September to April, which coincides […]
When tickets for the Brad Paisley concert at Jiffy Lube Live in Virginia went on sale on Groupon a few weeks ago, I did something a little out of character. I bought tickets for the entire family. The weather was perfect. The sky was clear. The bands were on fire. We danced and we […]
My mom has always been a reader. She has had an enormous library of books for as long as I can remember, and she never fails to have a recommendation for a new book for me to read. While I was staying with her this summer, we were talking about how much she loves having […]
It’s hard to believe that I am still going through pictures from this summer’s trip. I suppose this is what happens when the 6-week-long road trip ends the day before school starts. We jumped right in to the fall routine and haven’t had a real chance to recover from the travel. Or maybe it’s […]
I was sent an advance copy of Madame Picasso by Anne Girard to review, but thoughts and opinions are my own. Since before I can remember having a preference, I have been a fan of historical fiction. It is my favorite type of book to read. In fact, I’ve been known to get so […]
