Monday again? Last week seemed like a blur to me, how about you? I hosted a baby shower over the weekend, so I was in preparation mode all week. Now that we’ve sprung forward, you can expect to see more grilled meals on my weekly menu. I love the grill, but the Duke is …
I know we still have a couple weeks before spring officially starts, but the sun is shining and the sky is blue here in Florida. The temperatures have been in the low 70s, so it’s already spring in my book. Here are some things that have caught my eye for this spring: S …
My sweet Julia, It’s hard to believe another month has come and gone. You are closer to being a 1-year-old than a newborn! Your sixth month was filled with many milestones. For starters, you can now officially sit on your own. You fall over every once in a while, but yo …
I’m full. I made and ate (copious amounts of) these potatoes on Sunday and I’m still stuffed to the gills. They’re called crack potatoes, so you know they are going to be amazing. And if the name alone doesn’t convince you, perhaps the ingredient list …
I’m back with my weekly menu! I didn’t get home from BlissDom until late last Sunday night, so my menu for the week was non-existant. I’m pretty excited about my plan this week. I’ve selected a lot of Pinterest finds that will use up what I have on han …

…and I am the author of this blog. Author. That sounds so fancy. I’m a teacher-turned-stay-at-home-mom who occasionally sits behind a computer and publishes some stuff on the world wide web. If you’re a new friend from BlissDom, thank you for stopping by! If …
I’ve had a few requests to share what Julia’s typical day is like, so a couple weeks ago I kept my trusty notebook by my side and jotted down what we were up to. Let me start by saying there is no such thing as a typical day for a baby. We have routines and &helli …
Today is a special, special day in our house. That handsome devil that I call my husband is celebrating his birthday. The world has been lucky enough to have the Duke in it for 33 years now. He may or may not have given me permission to broadcast his age to the universe. Oops …
I’m not Catholic, but I’ve decided to participate in Lent this year. For forty days I’ll be giving up sweets. As in chocolate, cookies, brownies, candy, ice cream…the whole nine yards. It will be good for my waistline and my relationship with God. Inst …
