Some days asked to be finished with an ice-cream sundae (lately I seem to have a lot of those). This one goes beyond your ordinary chocolate sauce. The warm tart lemon curd combined with salty candie...
Over the weekend we celebrated Little Mister’s 2nd birthday. Everything construction has this guy going, “diggers!!!” We’ve even been known to drive around town trying to find...
Because Missy promised I’d write a post, here goes nothing (a little nervous)… With today being Gage’s birthday and last week’s birth of our 2nd son, a dad experiences a lot of thoughts and feelings ...
By: Rachel www.polkadotsandpuppies.com Motherhood is IMPERFECT. And that’s okay. I put off motherhood for quite a while, for a great number of reasons. But, if I’m being honest, it was mo...

Mother’s Day was absolutely perfect. Simple and sweet. Just how it should be. Saturday, Husby surprised me with french toast (He even followed a recipe which made his effort even more adorable)...
All weekend long I tried not to think about whether or not bumpcake was going to make his big debut. Rather, I focused on cherishing the last little moments spent together as a family of 3: extra lon...

A rainy day (as in a monsoon of a downpour) calls for fun indoors. Who needs toys when you can play with kitchen gadgets and paint? Clouds are gray again today. Guess there’s no point in puttin...
The first essay selected in our Motherhood series is by Becca from Inspired Me. We received an overwhelming response of submitted essays from many of you! Thank you! I’m so happy to be able to ...
With Mother’s Day less than a week away, I pulled, rather, sewed a little something together. Call me vintage, but I’m a believer Moms would still prefer a homemade gift (even from their ...
Around here the Strawberries are fresh for the picking. We’re so fortunate to live just down the road from a local farm that’s open to the public for picking your own pint of strawberries...
Is there anything a little tike loves more than planes, trains, and automobiles? Probably not unless you also mention the words: golf, diggers, or garbage truck. All are a few of his favorite things....
Make your Cinco de Mayo a poco bit cuter this year. (in case you’re wondering, poco means little… somehow I remembered something from 8th grade spanish). Whether you’re inviting friends o...
Probably would’ve been wise to post this later on in the day. Green chile first thing in the morning could induce a gag reflex. If this was the case for you, my sincere apologies. Actually, Hus...
The moment you become a mother is the moment your life changes forever. It seems hard to believe that this little bundle has been on the Earth for nearly two years. It’s gone so quickly. And ye...

Most weeks call for less-than-special meals. But every now and again, I like to surprise Husby with a mid-week meal that looks impressive, tastes like an upscale restaurant, but doesn’t ask me ...
Every Spring when the blossoms are in full bloom we seem to catch a case of “garden fever”. The symptoms? Overly ambitious and down right gluttonous when it comes to buying plants and see...
Our dollhouse could be labeled a bird magnet. Over the years, many a feathered friend have made nests in our mailbox, front porch, and trees. And sadly, we’ve even experienced bird deaths (both...
So you want to sip on the perfect combo of tart n’ sweet, do you? Well, here it is, friends. You asked for it in THIS post. And ever since, I’ve been slightly obsessed. Oh wait. You mean ...
You may have noticed this adorable little cherub wearing an equally adorable hat over on the right side of the page… Thanks to our friends at Bambeanies, they’re offering one Pink Pistachio rea...
We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable Easter… gorgeous weather, naps, yummy food, and of course, loads of candy! Last year little Mister was too young to understand the whole concept. Not...
We’ve talked dirty hair, curly hair, and some of my favorite hair products. Now it’s time to give it to you straight: the 411 of washing and the basics for straight hair. Not sure if what...
Confession: I’ve never made biscuits before. Intimidation. That’s why. The thought of biting into a brick is almost too much for this OCD (overly cautious dame) to handle. The solution ha...
