1. I schlepped Sophie with me to an appointment this week. I worried that she’d be a nuisance to the staff or that she’d make parts of the appointment nearly impossible. After all, girlfr...
So, you’ve bought some plain Greek yogurt, and you feel like it tastes like sour cream. Major letdown. No one (that I know) wants straight sour cream for breakfast. I know, you’ve heard t...
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but we’ve been accomplishing #61 on our 101 Things to Do in 1001 Days list: eat meatless for a month. Meatless month has been a beautiful thing....
1. Fortunate: the temperature has been 105-110 this week (not the fortunate part), and Sophie has gladly, happily, independently played with a bucket of water, plastic cups, and rocks on our shaded p...
I’m sorry. I know we just talked about salad last week, but it’s been over 100 degrees here all week. We’ve been trying to use our oven as little as possible, and one of the most fi...
I couldn’t help it! I’m sure you’re thinking “enough with the breakfast already!” but we’ve just been feeling the breakfast love around these parts. Especially sin...
1.Smiling is a full-body experience for Sophie. I love it. I’m going to be sad about it when it stops. I hope it’s not for a long time. 2. Sophie watched a video of her cousin Luke eating...
Oh, sweet Suzie. I hope you didn’t look at these and think “uh, are those mint?” Because, I’ll admit, that’s sort of what it looks like to me. In my defense, broccoli is...
I always feel sad for people who say they don’t like salad. To me, if you don’t like salad, you aren’t putting enough goodies in it. While it may not be the healthiest way to eat a ...
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that it took a few years before Sophie came to us, including one devastating miscarriage. After the miscarriage of my first pregnan...
1. Happy Mother’s Day Weekend! What are you up to this weekend? I get to be part of a family conference call with my brother (a missionary in the Philippines)! I can’t wait! I haven’...
I love pizza night. I could honestly eat pizza almost every night of the week without getting tired of it. I usually go with something simple, like the pesto, tomatoes, and cheese combination I did h...
Again, I’ve gotten behind in blogging about our progress on our 101 Things to Do in 1001 Days list. I’ve just gotten caught up in posting recipes, so I’ve forgotten to mention anyth...
I don’t know why, but something about cooking dry beans seems intimidating. I suppose it could have something to do with the whole, soaking, draining, cooking for a few hours, and then hoping t...
1. Sophie has TAKEN off walking this week. Before this weekend, she would only really take 5-8 steps at any given time. On Monday, out of nowhere, she started walking across the room. Huzzah! 2. Soph...
Are you getting ready for the Kentucky Derby this weekend? I never even knew when the Kentucky Derby was until marrying into Michael’s family. It’s quite an affair. We all choose horses a...
I know it’s only Monday, but this week has two fun food occasions to celebrate: Cinco de Mayo and the Kentucky Derby! I never need much excuse to make something special, so when an actual occas...
It’s Friday! I can’t believe it, but it’s Friday. Thank. Goodness. 1. We took Sophie swimming for the first time last weekend. The weather was in the 90s, the pool was heated, and i...
In the first 3 years of our marriage, Michael and I bought ice cream maybe once. Maybe. That all changed when Sophie was born. Ice cream became magical. Special. After Sophie was born, when we weren&...
My friends, thank you for surviving my breakfast-for-dinner streak last week. This week, I have a few sweet treats in store for you. (Yay!) First up, Michael’s birthday request: dulce de leche ...
We had a great birthday celebration at home last weekend for Sophie’s birthday. Most of our family lives out of state and those in-state had other plans or were prevented from traveling by bad ...
Welcome to more brunch/brinner/breakfast ideas. As delicious and fabulous as the Apple Fritter Muffins were that I posted on Monday, this idea comes with bacon. I know bacon is a pretty trendy ingred...
Firstly, thank you to everyone who wished Sophie a happy birthday! We had a fun, low-key celebration at our house (pictures later this week). It was lovely! Secondly, I have a brinner (aka breakfast ...
Sophie turns 1 on Sunday. I can’t believe it. I feel a sentimental/sappy/lovey post in my bones that I’m sure will come soon and I already have a few other parenting-related posts in the ...
Now that Easter is over, for some reason I feel like summer is just around the corner. Thinking about summer makes me think about grilling. Oh, you guys! I had a craving out of the blue so strong for...
I know I have a flair for the dramatic, so I want you to know that I’m using great restraint when I say the following: I want to bathe in this sauce. Eat it with a spoon. Invite it to family ge...
Please enjoy these pictures of Sophie attempting to feed herself one morning this week. They have nothing to do with the post, but they make me smile. 1. First off, I can’t help saying “...
Last weekend, Michael and I made breakfast for dinner. It’s one of my favorite things. (I just. love. brinner.) Since Easter weekend is the perfect opportunity for brunch (which is similarly wo...
I love my recipe for herbed thin crust pizza. It wasn’t that I had a wandering eye. I happened to see that there was this recipe that could sit in the refrigerator for a few days before you nee...
I am so indecisive. I’m trying out this new header to see if I like it better. Thoughts? Happy Friday, dear reader. What are your plans? Michael and I are getting ready to spend a lovely weeken...
