Yesterday we sent the kiddos back to school, which means all three of the kiddos are now in school. ALL three! For most of my grown up life I've spent my days changing diapers, making PB & J's, wiping noses, picking up toys, and kissing boo boos. While part of me is totally relieved and totally excited for their new journey the other part of me feels completely lost. What exactly am I suppose to ... [ read more... ]

I have really been enjoying teaming up with Krusteaz in the Baker's dozen program! This past year it's really given me a great opportunities to explore some fun baking mixes that I might otherwise have overlooked! This Meyer Lemon Pound Cake Mix is a perfect example!

Pistachio Almond Ice Cream (No Machine!)
Last year I spent weeks researching ice cream makers. I really wanted to make ice cream at home but I was unhappy with my research outcome. It seemed that in order to have a machine that made great ice cream I was going to fork over quiet a few bucks. It just didn't seem like a great idea to me since it's such a seasonal item.

O-fish-ally Number 1 Dad Cupcakes!
I learned a little lesson this week, like no matter what mom says, sometimes there really aren't many more fish in the sea. Sometimes there are only six fish in the sea.
