I hate New Years Resolutions. I hate the whole idea of them (it’s like, we come out of every year focusing on all the things we hate about ourselves and want to change. Gross). I hate that we always make them nearly impossible, so we’re just setting ourselves up for disappointment. I just hate them….

The slow drain of all my wits – AKA 22 days to go until Christmas
I figured today would be a good day to start-up: I’ve been needing somewhere to vent, let off a little steam, and pretend that it would be ok to sit and have a margarita in the middle of the day (I’m not, don’t run to CPS just yet, I’m sitting with a bottle of water…
A Long Overdue Introduction
Hi, I’m Katrina, the incredible talent (cough) behind Kitchen Trials, and this is me right now. Ok, actually, that was me 15 minutes ago. I took the picture to start off the post, then that little bundle hanging off my chest wouldn’t stop fussing after a day of throwing up on everything, so I needed…
Happy Valentines Day!
Bo and I are spending today in the hospital… Because our baby girl has decided to make her appearance! I couldn’t ask for a better present, and I got the one up on Bo by remembering to bring his card. It just keeps getting better. Intrepid food blogger that I am, I’ve sent him on…
A very brief update.
Sorry all. This website has been severely lacking the past few months. I don’t have a great excuses, but I do have a legitimate one. I’ve been sick. Really sick. And the kind of sick that gets worse with food, so I didn’t cook very much. It’ll be worth it in about 6 more months…
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
It’s been a while, but I’ve been meaning to update on the regular. Even if it’s just to get a little record of all the ridiculous, adorable, hilarious things these two do and say. Today though, today has been rough. Oliver has not slept enough in weeks, and it’s finally caught up. This means a…
One last whiney post… honest
Just wanted to give a quick little update on the lack of posts. Vacation is over and I’m back home, but have been stuck with quite the severe bout of bronchitis. It really, really sucks. The grandparents stepped up to watch the kids for me yesterday, and poor Bo did the same today. On top…
Florida Bound!
Quick update. We’re on our way to Florida now (YAY!). Currently sitting in stunningly warm Columbia, Southern Carolina, we knocked out 15 hours in the car today (leaving at 3 am was pretty rough though). 6 and a half hours to go and we’ll be unloading at the resort before heading to T-Rex Cafe for…
OXO Egg Beater Giveaway – Over
Alright ladies and gents, it’s finally time for that long alluded to give-away that you guys actually get (my last one was given to a neighbor, you can read here to find out why, and about the OXO Cookies for Kids Cancer charity). Anyway, today I’ve got an OXO Egg Beater for one of you!…
Distractions…
Sorry folks, I’m pretty distracted right now with a very sick little boy in the house, so posts are taking a back seat. Oliver was helping me out with a give-away tonight though, so look for that in the next day or two. Hopefully this fever breaks soon so we can all get back to…
Sometimes it’s just one of those days.
Today, it was really one of those days. Bo snores sometimes. Sometimes he snores a lot. Last night…last night Bo snored more than he ever has before, and I’m guessing it had something to do with the stronger sleeping pills that he took because the mild ones ran out. That fact means nothing to me…
A conversation about lunch, with Oliver
I had to get this written up before I forgot it. Here’s the conversation I just had with Oliver about lunch today: me: I’m going to make you an awesome grilled cheese for lunch Oliver: no cheese me: what do you want? Oliver: rice me: I don’t have rice Oliver: burger me: I don’t have…
Sicky sicky
Sick days with Oliver aren’t exactly my idea of a sick day. My perfect sick day would break down like this:
At first…
At first I was like:
City Thanksgiving
I’m going to start this picture post off with a story. It was Thanksgiving take two and everyone was sitting around upstairs, having finished their dinner, just talking and joking. Then someone said the dreaded words: Has anyone seen Oliver? After a solid round of “no’s” we started looking around the house. No Oliver upstairs,…
Country Thanksgiving
Now, for those of you from the US, this is nothing like a country Thanksgiving. It’s just that my family’s thanksgiving was at my grandparents cottage, and Bo’s family’s was at his aunts in the city. So, country Thanksgiving. It was, by far, the best weekend for Thanksgiving that we could remember. It felt like…
