Has it really only been a week since my kids got out of school? Wow! I’m not sure if it’s a good thing yet that my kids enjoy baking. And it’s summer and they’re home for hours every day (between swim practices and volunteering) and so they’ve got a little bit more time on their…
Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #25
Yesterday was not only the official start of summer, but the official start of OUR summer vacation! It felt like it would never get here!

This Week on Instagram… #PSF
We’re in between fall and winter sports and so, for the moment, things are just a little bit less hectic around here. Except that “less hectic” is practically a joke because I still have 4 kids at home… This week, it was harder for me to get out for my morning walks as regularly…
