Sugar cookies and stuff

So before this Christmas I took a class from a friend of a friend on how to decorate sugar cookies. I've always been a big fan of nicely iced sugar cookies, but have not attempted to decorate them as nicely myself. With Brooke, I decorated two Santa's, two hot cocoa mugs, and two reindeer. She...

Pineapple Cranberry sauce

I wanted to do something a little different for Thanksgiving this year and decide to alter the cranberry sauce a bit. I'm a huge fan of the canned jelly but being that I've been cooking a lot more lately and wanting to use fresh cranberries for various recipes I figured why not give it a...

Thanksgiving Turkey Meatloaf

My plan with this meatloaf was to make a stuffing type mixture prior to mixing with the ground turkey and then baking all together to have the flavor of thanksgiving without being a heavy meal. For the sides I will also make a cranberry sauce, creamy mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus to complete the meal....

Egg frittata muffins

I just recently bought a new cupcake tin, and I've been wanting to use it for everything. So I've made cupcakes, muffins and my favorite, egg frittata muffins. They're the best breakfast! So easy to make and easy to take with you! They also store easily so it's a great meal prep food, if you're...

The little one

Joey is here, as I announced briefly in my last post! Delivered by c-section on June 28, because he was breech, and my other two were also c-sections, at 8 lbs and 9 oz he ended up being the biggest of the three! Although now at almost 5 months he's around 16 lbs and a...

Gluten free Cranberry Date Pecan Muffins

Life's been crazy! We now have three kids! Our newest addition is a baby boy, named Joey. He is awesome. Such a sweet and calm little one. We also started splitting our time between a campground and beach town living. (More on that coming in another post!) So as you may or may not know,...

planning

We did it, we finally bought a travel trailer in July 2017. A 2006 Wildwood 31QBSS. We renovated it to suit our needs and likes, and are now planning our adventure. Since the last blog entry, we have done a lot. We ended up renting a home for a while longer, and doing so allowed...

Be that river, be so persistent, and consistent. Create waves,  waves of change. You know that thing that has been nagging and gnawing at your creative space? Do it, be it; don't let it sit there and rot. Do what you need and have that burning desire to do. Let it wash over you and...

Big plans

OLDER POST, REALIZED I NEVER POSTED (things have changed but better late than never, still want to go on my RV trip!): my husband and I have made plans to buy an RV in 2017 and just take to the road. We decided that we have come to a point in our lives where we...

She’s here!

I just gave birth to a beautiful 8 lb 2 oz baby girl, Taylor Grace. To us, she is literally perfect.  She sleeps and she eats, that's it. We are extremely lucky so far that she isn't crying throughout the night AND that our son is sleeping through the night. I had a c section...
