Easy Butterfinger Cake Mix Cookies

May 7, 2013 duchessoffork 2

My trusty baking assistant accompanied me in the kitchen last week. We made the easiest Butterfinger cookies out of cake mix! They only have four ingredients and Julia just loved mixing them all together. No electric mixer needed. I loved seeing her little face light up as sh …

Drug Store Beauty Favorites

April 29, 2013 duchessoffork 5

I love fancy cosmetics and beauty products as much as the next girl but I don’t have the money to splurge on those items quite like I used to. Any extra change I have these days goes towards stuff for the babies. Many beauty items I use every day can be found in the ais …

Body After Baby {1 Month}

April 24, 2013 duchessoffork 15

Nearly six weeks have passed since Mac was born and I’m ready to get back to my pre-baby health and fitness practices. I’m not concerned with getting “skinny”- I just want to return to the state of mind and physical shape that I was before Mac was born …

Brunch with Paula Deen

April 22, 2013 duchessoffork 6

My dad gifted my mom, Granny and me with tickets to a brunch with Paula Deen for Christmas. It was one of many events during the Sandestin Wine Festival and finally took place over the weekend. We’ve been Paula fans for years and have nearly all of her cookbooks. We wer …

Guest Post: Losing It with Lean Green Mama

April 10, 2013 duchessoffork 11

I just love this brutally honest post from Danielle. Many moms have been in her shoes as they struggle with post-baby weight and fitness whoas. She has worked hard and looks incredible. Hey everyone! I’m Danielle from Lean Green Mama. Molly and I are sorority sisters fr …

scenes from our weekend

April 8, 2013 duchessoffork 6

I have lots of ideas for blog posts swirling around in my head, but it’s really hard to find the time to sit down and put it all together. I’m sure I’ll get back into a blogging groove soon, but until then, you’ll just have to settle for brain dump typ …

back in the land of the living {barely}

April 2, 2013 duchessoffork 8

I’m still here! It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks, but I’m alive and well. Just wanted to check in and fill you in. 1. We moved over the weekend. I cannot imagine anything worse than moving 3600 square feet worth of junk with a toddler and a two week old …

Post-Baby Brain Dump

March 22, 2013 duchessoffork 14

1. Mac was a week old yesterday! It’s amazing how time flies when you’re not getting any sleep. 2. Things are crazy at home. Mac is nursing like a champ (which is amazing after my less than stellar experience with Julia). He eats every 2-3 hours so it really ties …

Hi, I’m Colleen and I blog at Moments Pass Slow. I’m so excited to be here guest posting for Molly while she prepares to welcome her second baby into the world! I recently became a mother to my second baby in less than 18 months! My first, Lyle, was born in August …

as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be

March 12, 2013 duchessoffork 8

Sweet Julia, It’s hard to believe that any day now you’ll become a big sister. You’ll go from my one and only to one of two. I’ve known this would happen for nearly 10 months now, but it’s hitting me like a ton of bricks and it’s quite bitt …
