You know what are not nice? Geese. When I was probably 14 or so, I didn’t know they were so territorial. There was a flock of them…a gaggle? Anyway, a lot of them on the hillside by the pool at the church camp I attended. I was all, “Heh heh. Watch this.” I ran at […]...
At the risk of sounding completely broken in the brain, I have to ask, do you guys ever get distracted by things that sparkle? I know, I sound like a three year old right now. Seriously, though, you know those GIFs that say things like, “I don’t have A.D.D., I just… Ooooh look! GLITTER!”? Well, […]...
You may be wondering how my journey to Minnesota was, and whether or not I’m having fun. Well, if you follow me on twitter, then you know my journey was long, uncomfortable, long, and long. This past Wednesday, to get from my island home to the land of 10,000 lakes, I had an entire day […]...
My husband finally returned home this weekend, after having been abroad for training for a little over a month. Who can’t stop smiling? This girl! I’m so happy to have my family all together in one place again! To celebrate, we had one of my favorite breakfasts ever this weekend: biscuit donuts.You know, “homemade” donuts […]...

I love cheese straws. Puff pastry and cheese? What’s not to like? Plus, thanks to Pepperidge Farms, they’re incredibly easy to make! As much as I love them, though, I wondered if I could come up something on the sweeter side. I like making cheese straws for appetizers, but I thought it’d be nice to […]...
Chocolate croissants. Need I say more? Okay. You’re right…I do have to say more if I want to share how to make them. Until we moved to the Northeast, I had never heard of, let alone eaten, chocolate croissants. I mean, in my defense, at the tender age of twenty I wasn’t exactly exploring hot new […]...
We don’t have big Valentine’s Day celebrations in this realm. We do, however, enjoy the excuse to just love Love. I mean, that’s what it’s really all about, right? For us, V-day is simply a good reason to eat sweets and be cuddlier than usual. Those are things we could all use a little more […]...
