Spring is right around the corner, and I’m feeling like there are a million and one things that need to get done. The yard needs to be cleaned up, the house needs to be cleaned up, and the kids are driving me crazy every single day wanting to spend more and more time outside doing…

Making School Lunches Fun with Rubbermaid lunch BLOX
I was on a mission this year when Oliver started school to have him actually eat his lunches. Last year (jr kindergarten), more often than not his lunch came home mostly untouched. This year I wanted to change that, so I started asking Oliver what theme he wanted for lunch. I’d try to get it…
Double Chocolate Toffee Cookies
Yesterday Anna and I promised Oliver some homemade cookies to greet him from his first day of senior kindergarten. I wanted to try something new, and after a very quick look around pinterest I found these cookies from Julia’s Album that she had originally adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe. Not being able to leave anything…
Brown Butter and Sage Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
I stumbled upon some of the best mashed potatoes I’ve ever eaten this week. I had some sage sitting in the fridge (not all that common for me), and absolutely loving the way sage and brown butter taste together, I thought I’d try that in some mashed potatoes. I was putting it beside my baked…

Old Fashioned Gingerbread Cake
Sorry for the huge breaks between posts. I’m fighting pneumonia for the second time in a month, and just taking care of the two kids seems to be doing me in most days. That’s not what you’re here for though, to hear me complaining, so lets get to the cake! Bo and Oliver are huge…
Goat Cheese Crisp and Potato Salad
Now, I’m not often one to opt for salads. I’m trying to get healthier, but my big plan is really just to cut out pop, and start running on the elliptical (which is what I’m supposed to be doing now, but the kids went down for a nap really easily today, and I’m thinking I can knock…
