This year, I have the second best Christmas tree ever, thanks to my sister. The first best Christmas tree was because of her, too, though, so I don’t feel bad saying this one is second. We got home from England last night, late. The first thing to greet us when we opened the door was […]...
Do you guys ever fell like you just need to unplug for awhile? Sometimes, with the blog and Instagram and Facebook and twitter, I just feel like I’m constantly online, I constantly have my face in an iPad, smartphone, or computer screen. I decided this past week to take some time of from the online […]...
Last night, I dreamed about baking cupcakes. I actually dreamed about baking cupcakes. I mean, I knew I loved baking, and that I’ve been missing it, but even I’m surprised that I actually dreamed about it. I’m relieved, though, because I fully expected hideous, giant spiders to plague my dreams. Because they do after I […]...
I realize it has been over a week since I posted any new recipes, but you guys, my mom was visiting me last week! Before this latest visit, I hadn’t seen her in two years. That’s just stupid. So I was a little busy and distracted last week. It was fantastic. We ate a lot […]...
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 […]...
This is a post of few words. Because cinnamon swirl french toast speaks for itself. And because I’m exhausted. The Hubster was on duty this past week. It’s a Tuesday to Tuesday thing. He has to stand duty, like, every three weeks or something…I forget the rotation. They’re always weird. Anyway. He was on duty […]...
My blog turns three this week, you guys. I can hardly believe it. It certainly doesn’t feel like three years have passed since I first started blogging. Even after having lived in Maine, St. Croix, a short stint in Minnesota, and now in Oregon…it just doesn’t seem like it’s been three whole years. I’ve been […]...
Did you know that it’s good luck to eat pork on New Year’s Day? You probably did. I didn’t. Apparently, though, it is. But actually, I guess I kind of did know, because isn’t there, like, a lucky pig thing with a peppermint candy pig that you crush up with a hammer or something? Oh […]...
I’ve decide to embrace the cooler autumn weather we’ve started having. I’m sad that, with all the moving and such, I haven’t enjoyed much of a summer, but I adore the autumn, so there’s nothing to complain about. It’s all cool weather, the smell of warm fires in the air, crisp leaves crunching underfoot, cozy […]...
Recently, my dog went on a little field trip. I’ve only talked about Loki a few times on here, but I’m sure that I’ve made it clear that I’m pretty much devoted to him. I think that when it comes to soul mates, we don’t get just one. I mean, I think we just get one […]...
