Just one more sweet recipe before Valentine’s Day! I’m a little relieved because all of this sugar around the house is killing me. Target’s valentine section got me good and I find myself digging for all the candy bags in our pantry. It doesn’t help that I’m in full hibernation mode over here. It’s been […]

One of our favorite things to do when it’s warmer out is to walk to our downtown area with the kids, and every once in a while we’ll get cookies from one of the best restaurants in our area, MF & Co. Brett and I usually split their dark chocolate salty oat cookie, which is […]
