I’m only three weeks into summer and I’m already starting to feel burned out. How could this possibly be happening. Already. Sigh. I’m a planner. I constantly have lists running through my head about what I want to do, and where I want to take the kids. I constantly guilt myself for being a stay…

Our Crazy Life – June 2015
I swear, I don’t know where the last 30 days went. Everyone got sick, then as soon as everyone got better it was just balls to the wall non-stop insanity for an entire month. Here’s basically what went down: I filmed this a few weeks ago (I still can barely talk about it, because, nerves)….
The day Pepperidge Farm® reminded me to take care of myself, too.
I’ve been feeling stretched pretty thin lately. It’s hard trying to be everything, and do everything, and still feel like you’re finding the time to make the right choices for you. I haven’t been. Then, a few weeks ago I was asked to work with Pepperidge Farm® Cracker Chips, and it was the push I needed…
Anything “can” happen. Until it actually does.
As a mom of three kids under 5, I’m the first one to joke about how many cuts, bumps, bruises, stitches, and trips to the emergency room we’re going to have in our future. Especially with a son who’s taken to playing hockey. I’m pretty sure that just last week I made a joke on instagram,…
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…
Disney on a Dime – Introduction
I’ve been going to Disney World in Florida forever. Seriously, as far as my life is concerned, it’s been forever. I’ve been horrifically spoiled by parents and grandparents growing up, which created in me a love (nay, need) of Disney so strong that I just have to find a way to get our family there…
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…
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:
