Yesterday did not start out well. Yesterday started with a total, epic-sized mama meltdown because I didn’t have an Easter dress that fit me. At 39 weeks pregnant, I was upset to not have some perfect pastel-colored Easter dress. Ahem. #hormones Needless to say,...

on secrets {but really, the lack thereof}

Husby and I really don’t have secrets. We practice simple honesty – our concept of saying the hard things, the scary things, the things that really matter, out loud. 5 years of marriage, 2 years of dating/engagement, and knowing him for over 7 years before...

of October!!———-One of the reasons I love blogging is that I love to read blogs. I’m a big ol’ snoop. If I use your bathroom, chances are I may have peeked in your medicine cabinet. I KNOW!! It’s a character flaw. I just love...

on butter and flour
