The past week and a half has flown by very quickly and I still can’t seem to fathom that I’m already in a stage of my life where I’m married and have two children. I guess I just don’t feel old or mature enough, and after spending this time with a newborn I can’t believe […]

One of the best apps on this planet has to be bacon-wrapped dates. Anyone else feel the same? It doesn’t get better than a salty slice of bacon and the sweet chewy bite of a pitted date. I could easily pop a dozen in a sitting because they are SO addicting. For some reason, the […]

My list of to-dos has been pretty hefty lately because I’m trying to get a bunch of stuff done before baby arrives. Not only do I have stuff I want to get finished around the house, I also have things I want to do as a family of three and a bunch of summer meals […]
