The hubby and I were lucky enough to jet off to Vegas for a few days last week. It was the first time we were there in 5 years and it did not disappoint. My parents were gracious enough to watch our little man so we could have an adults only trip (our first since … Continue reading

What The Hell Am I Going To Do With All This Zucchini?
Every year around this time, my husband and I find ourselves asking this question. It seems that every time you pull one zucchini or squash out of the garden, you find three more. I put this little zucchini and squash pesto pizza together last weekend and thought I would share. It was a quite a … Continue reading
What You Got Cooking (Early Garden Edition)
I haven’t written anything food or cooking lately, which is crazy because I have been cooking up a storm. Not exactly cooking, but preparing, chopping, and salad spinning. We are at the tail end of the huge lettuce and spinach harvest from our (my husband’s if you want to get technical) garden that has kept us … Continue reading
Ace’s First Birthday
Ace had his first birthday over the past weekend and here are some of the highlights. Ace’s party was a simple backyard BBQ. The only theme was “garden party” since my husband has worked so hard on his garden and the landscaping in the backyard. We hung up some simple decorations, a baby picture display, … Continue reading
Ace’s Eats

I was looking forward to storytime today because the librarian that leads it on Tuesdays has been getting … Continue reading

Part I: The Elusive $100 Grocery Budget and Mystical Meal Planning
Taking this year off to be a stay-at-home mom to Ace has been one of the most best times of my life. In addition to spending all day with my little fuzzy-headed ninny-muggins I get to hang out in stretchy pants all day (woo-hoo!). I also get to exert all of my control freak tendencies in … Continue reading
What You Got Cooking
I have slowed my roll when it comes to posting recipes because I find that I don’t actually cook many recipes that are unique to me. I might change an ingredient or two, but for the most part I am just cooking recipes that are not my own. It would just feel wrong to blog … Continue reading
There is a lot of crap on Pinterest
I realize that this is not news to most Pinterest users. In no way is this post suppose to make fun of Pinterest users or the bloggers that post ideas that end up on Pinterest. I am a Pinterest user and a (newbie) blogger and I know some of my ideas and recipes are less than stellar. But … Continue reading
Eat This, Candy Bowl!
We have an absurdly large bowl full of candy on our dining room table. It is the day after Halloween and we have TONS of candy left over. We only had five groups of children visit our house last night unlike the gobs of children we had last year. I think it was the piece … Continue reading
