I really love something simple and country classic. Red paper, twine, and brown paper tags are my favorite. Really any simple paper with twine and those tags makes me happy. Harrison the other night got concerned...

Failures of a Food Blogger

December 4, 2019

I don't know what's happening y'all. Have I lost the touch, the ability to make anything and it turn out well. (generally, Jeremy has a few girl foods he chooses to not like) When I burned my great-grandmother's chocolate pie to an absolute crisp the other day I thought I was just not paying attention. Clearly I had gotten busy cooking my lunch for the week and ignored what was about to happen to...

Thanksgiving break was so relaxing... especially since dinner (when I did cook it) was just a charcuterie when it did happen. But now, it's back to work, back to meal planning, and mama needs a nap.  But only because the baby has a man cold.  Monday | Chick-Fil-A - they're doing a bring back your receipt thing today.

Busy Baby Strikes Again

November 20, 2019

Elliot is steadily proving me wrong on every parenting truth I held dear. He wasn't a baby led weaning fan. Instead he has me ordering pouches off Amazon for his snack. Meanwhile, Harrison was a great eater. I did convince him to wean early... but only by offering him chocolate milk. (never fear I got him on some DHA Horizon Organic and Hershey's Simply, it's nothing too rich) His other baby trick......
