My husband, or my baby? Meek found this picture of himself at one year old, and we are flipping over the similarities. Seriously, if the above didn’t look like it was from 1986 and there wasn’t a bas...
It feels like summer, doesn’t it?! If you’ve been reading this little old blog for a year, you will know that summer is my all-time, hands-down, by-far-and-away, no-contest favorite season. I wait al...
Oh hey there! I’ve really missed you guys. I’ve missed making food, taking pictures of it, and having you all tell me it looks delicious. I’ve missed you inviting yourself over for dinner. I’ve misse...
My guest post today is from Janeeetha. No, she doesn’t really spell her name like that, but I picture it that way in my head. And when I picture Janetha in my head, I imagine her standing in my...
Whenever I was sad, or in a bad mood as a kiddo, my mom always suggested that we write down as many things as we could think of to be grateful for. Usually, we’d get a big yellow legal pad out, and s...
My guest post today comes from Lindsay, one of my very best friends. Or BLENDS. (yeah…we planned the BLEND Retreat together.) Actually, she twisted my arm into planning the BLEND Retreat with h...
My guest poster today, Ashley, doesn’t really need an introduction. You’re probably already in love with her blog, her breakfasts, her photography, and her sweet face, like I am. She introduced me to...
Wonderful, wonderful readers…how do I begin to thank you for your outpouring of love and kindness? Your comments, emails, messages and tweets have been a surprising source of comfort over the last fe...
My sweet, wonderful, amazing best-friend-of-a-mother passed away on Mother’s Day. To say that I am sad would be the understatement of a lifetime. I’m crushed. My heart is broken. I am wor...
It’s been a year! A year since this beautiful little child came into my life. I can, without a doubt, say that this last year has been the absolute best of my life. People always ask me isnR...
An even more appropriate name would be Blend Swag Bag Pancakes. Seriously, our swag bags were stinking unbelievable. I cannot even believe so many companies wanted to join in on the fun. On Monday mo...
(Thank you Janetha, Lindsay, and Ashley for sharing your iphone pictures with me…I really need one of those things) My heart swells with both pride and gratitude when I think about the events of last...
Blend 2012 was wildly successful. More so than I ever could have expected. I almost can’t believe it already happened and is finished. Although I missed Meeker and that bald baby girl fiercely, I am ...
Good morning! Baby breakfast. I was more intent on the coffee – not so hungry. But that didn’t stop me from digging into the jar of almond butter for a spoonful (or two). Alternating between spoon an...
Remember when I used to just post about chia seeds, spinach, oatmeal (which I never liked) and sweet potatoes? Yeah, I still eat those things (the oatmeal in cookie form, now). It’s just that ice cre...
1. I met Maddy, the founder of Love Grown yesterday and she is so nice and friendly! She gave me a big hug when I walked in the office – I love hugs. Then I got to meet her parents, who were al...
…but more importantly, we had lunch with Lindsay and her family yesterday. (Sorry, Travis!) We went to church together. We made (and ate pizza) together. Our kiddos ran wild together. And then we had...
What do do with that one, lone leftover piece of birthday cake that’s too dry and crusty to eat on it’s own? Crumble it up and add it to some more cake, of course. Specifically, a pancake. Then watch...
…for breakfast. It’s not often that wake up wanting salad for breakfast. But it does happen. Today was a kale for breakfast kind of day. Something about the light in my kitchen in the morning makes m...
This is the second cake I’ve made this week. Meeker has requested two in the last two days. My heart is singing. While making the first one, I ran out of eggs and had to run (barefoot and flou...
So, basically every time I tell you guys that I simply detest bananas…I guess I’m lying. I don’t mean to, but I’m pretty sure I make an amendment to that statement at least once a week on this blog. ...
(Alternate title for this post: The trip where I forgot a hairbrush. Please excuse the tornado on my head) Not only was this Meeker’s birthday present, but it was Adrienne’s first real trip. She did ...
1. We are currently (as you read this!) on Meeker’s birthday surprise trip that I told you guys about last week! Eeee, I can’t wait to show you guys pictures. I imagine we are having a blast right no...
This meal started out as a freezer make ahead meal. It was originally called Vegetable Soup with Meatballs. Except that we detested the meatballs (not anyone’s fault, I begged our shopper to buy the ...
Yes, another pizza. I can’t stop. But seriously, when you can make pizza this good at home, why would you ever stop? I, for one, have no plans. This was one was inspired by Papa Murphy’s Veggie deLig...
Do you want to know how spectacularly fortunate I am to be married to my husband? I’ll tell you… When I’m laying on the couch on Sunday afternoon and proclaim I don’t know what to make for dinner, he...
Did you all know that I don’t like shopping? Like, at all. The thought of spending money always stresses me out. In fact, I put in a petition last year with my family to cancel Christmas presents. It...
I just love the way the sunlight streams in through the window onto our kitchen table in the morning. Even more so when it makes our little itty bitty start of a garden glow like this. I can’t even t...
Remember those black beans that my brother made for my parents’ birthday party a few weeks ago? I finally got around to making them! At 8am this morning. What can I say – when I want something I want...
1. I have been eating these savory cornmeal waffles every day for almost a week. Incredible. 2. It’s April and Meeker’s birthday is in a few weeks. I have the besssst surprise planned for him...
