Happy Memorial Day, everyone! I just returned home from my island adventures and realized it was Memorial Day weekend. For us, that means school is out and summer is beginning and I’m guessing ...
I’m pretty sure we’ve all had one of “those” weeks. This particular week wasn’t really anything horrible, but it involved a sick kid, a sick dog, a messy house, perpetua...
Have you ever noticed that trifles are so often made with vanilla pudding and vanilla wafers or shortbread or angel food cake? Where’s the chocolate? I know there are people out there who don&#...
All of you early risers might have noticed my post is up a little late this morning. That’s because I just woke up and had completely lost track of what day it was! I’m a little off of my...
I have vivid memories from my childhood of running errands with my Mom, often at Bellevue Square Mall (oh how I miss that mall!) in my hometown. It seems like we were always there doing something or ...
One of the most common questions we get is how to get picky eaters to eat. That is a great question. And pretty much one I don’t have the answer to. I have two picky eaters, and the really tric...
A few weeks ago, Sara and I were in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for a speaking event. It was our last trip of the spring and my last trip before I have my baby, so I think we both felt a little more rel...
It should be no surprise that around here we LOVE cupcakes. We love creating them, decorating them, frosting them, and certainly eating them! We get so many questions about cupcakes (especially about...
Just a quick little idea post today. I’ve noticed a surge in facebook posts recently asking for ideas on both Mother’s Day and Teacher gifts which has caused me both surprise and panic. I...
So if words like “aioli” make you think, “Ew, weird, clicking away now,” don’t–clicking away from things that sound weird will keep you from enjoying things like P...
When I was young, many of my favorite childhood comfort foods involved things from the sea. My Mom’s classic Creamed Tuna on Toast, for example, crispy fried halibut on the pier in my hometown ...
Happy (almost) Cinco de Mayo! I am very much in the spirit of the festivities because I just got back from Puerto Vallarta. My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Cancun 8 years ago and decided we&#...
Remember last week when I was talking about how I kind of kept forgetting it was spring? Yeah, I’m over that. My car thermometer said 94 degrees yesterday and the fact that I was wearing pants ...
Springtime in southwest Idaho is strange. And by strange I mean annoying and highly unpredictable. A few weeks ago I literally went from wearing snow boots to busting out the flip flops and capris al...
True story: I was recently reading a blog and started clicking around, trying to find the more recent posts, wondering why the writer of the blog was talking about semi-current events, but the dates ...
You know what question Kate and I get a lot? “How do you girls do it it all??” Our schedules are full, just as many of yours are, and it comes with the constant struggle of balancing Mom-...
First of all, I’m so sorry this post is coming up so late! After kind of a crazy (crazy good, crazy not-so-good) weekend, the universe decided it was not done with us and I have had a heck of a...
Sara and I are off again! I promise you guys, my kids, my husband, myself, and an OB-GYN who thinks I’m a tiny bit crazy that we’re not going anywhere else (and by we, I mean my growing f...
Well, it’s official. We love Texas! We’ve been traveling around the country this year, speaking with a wonderful women’s organization and each stop just keeps getting better and bet...
Happy Monday y’all! We spent the weekend in Texas and I have been saying y’all way too much since then :) I’m barely recovering from jet-lag, a 4 am (Boise-time) flight, and comin...
Do you guys ever feel like you have about 15 million more things on your to-do list every day than you can possibly do? Yeah, that’s where I am right now. Like I mentioned earlier this week, my...
Last week, my family (like my kids, husband, and I, not the whole circus of a fam damily) went to Utah for Spring Break. In true Spring Break fashion, we had a wild time filled with crazy things lik...
I mentioned in my last post that Easter completely sneaked up on me this year. I grabbed a big spiral cut ham at Costco on Friday because a) I love hams, especially on Easter, and b) We alway...
That’s right, for once Sara and Kate are going to stop blabbing and let YOU all take center stage! Well, I’ll blab quickly, and then it’s all you. Easter totally sneaked up on me ...
Sometimes when Sara and I are together and meet people who don’t know us as individuals, they comment on how different we are personality-wise, but how they can tell that we really click. Of co...
So in case you missed yesterday’s post, we were recently given the opportunity to try out Bosch’s Universal Plus mixer. And, like I said in my post, I am a girl that already owns 2 Kitche...
It seems like we’re always getting requests for an awesome whole wheat bread recipe. We (okay, I) have put this off for a long, long time and I haven’t been entirely sure why. After some ...
I have always had a strong emotional connection to food, in the way that it ties family, traditions, and memories together. Since my Mom doesn’t remember a lot of things, due to some serious h...
I noticed spurts of comments popping up on this post recently and I was so confused as to why. I wondered if it had accidentally gotten linked in some weird place, but didn’t think much of it....
First of all, congratulations to entrant #1980, Bethany, who won the Blickenstaff’s Candy Giveaway! Bethany, we’ve emailed you at the email address you sent us, so please claim your prize...
