Today is National Pretzel Day, making me wish I lived close to a Hannah’s Bretzel. Have you ever been? It’s this amazing sandwich chain with multiple locations in the city. I am OBSESSED!

It’s insane to think that in about four months we’ll have another baby, and I can’t believe I hit my 20 week mark a few days ago. This pregnancy has flown by, which doesn’t surprise me. Our daughter is a busy little bee and she’s kept us both very occupied, leaving us with less time […]

I can’t believe our daughter is old enough to be running around already. It seems like just yesterday we were trying everything we could to get her to crawl. Cue my ugly crying face… Now that she’s experienced all of the holidays at least once, I’ve enjoyed looking back on all of her “firsts” when each […]

It’s normal to crave Mexican/Latin flavors when it starts to get warm out, right? Lately, I’ve been dreaming of summer days when avocados are ripe and dark green, tomatoes make a fresh salsa, and tortillas can be heated on the grill. Since it’s still dreary and cold here, making my dreams feel very far away, […]

It was in the sixties here on Saturday (a rare occurrence these days), so we tried our best to stay outdoors. I went on a very long walk with our daughter, where she collected about a tree’s worth of sticks, and in the afternoon we jogged to the downtown area in our town. It was a breath […]
