Yesterday, we got hit with a taste of warm weather and it’s almost as if I could smell spring blooming in the air. We took full advantage of being able to step outside without freezing our buns off. The kids and I walked to the park and when my husband got home, we took another […]

Happy Taco Tuesday!! Or should I say Tostada Tuesday for the sake of this post? If you know me, you know Taco Bell is my ride or die. It’s one of the only fast food restaurants I need in my life (cough, I hate Mcdonald’s cough). I don’t think I could ever give it up. […]

Last week, my husband and I had a well overdue date night just the two of us and we indulged. There was no carb left behind. We rolled out of there like two human-sized gnocchi. The restaurant we went to is known for their assortment of small plates and entrees and encourages parties to share […]

Today marks my 28th year on earth!!! But how can I be 28 when I still feel (and look most of the time) 16? I’m not sure, but last night, we sang “happy birthday” and I had two babies on my lap and my husband lighting candles and my heart couldn’t be more full. My […]

On Monday, my husband and I spent the day together alone at home. Yes, just the two of us at our house, no kids. I repeat, NO KIDS. It hasn’t happened in a very long time, so naturally, the two of us broke into dance as soon as we came home from dropping them of […]

Avgolemono. The first soup I ever fell in love with. I’m not sure if it was the richness of the egg, or the tang from the lemon, or the fact that everyone around me encouraged me to dunk crusty bread in it – but I knew right then and there it would be a dish […]
