2009 year end Recap
Since today is the last day of 2009 (still can’t believe how fast it went) and doesn’t it feel weird to say 2010! Anyways to ring in the New Year I thought I would recap some of my favorite posts from 2009. Now as I go through them it seems like so much fun/important stuff […]
Four Christmases
Four Christmas celebrations we had this year, each different but yet each filled with great food, family, laughter and love. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful families. *beware picture overload* Starting off we headed to Houston to spend Christmas Eve at my grandmother’s house. The boys were set with their favorite books and […]
Granola Bars
This recipe I started making to send in DT’s lunches shortly after we were first married. They are a great tasting, filling snack and the beauty about this recipe is that though it tastes great and is good for you, it is very versatile. I’ve made it with chocolate chips, peanut butter, toffee bits, various […]
Menu Plan Monday
Wow what a busy week last week was, Do I really have to cook this week? We’ve eaten so much the past three days, I think I should not eat the next three, ha ha. We had wonderful family Christmas celebrations and our first holiday party went very well. The boys had a great time […]

Christmas decorations
I just love decorating for Christmas! The past 2 years I didn’t do much. The first year I had newborns and then the 2nd year with unruly curious little toddlers I couldn’t do much decorating as it would all of been eaten or broken. But this year the boys have a little more self control […]
Terrible two’s
I’ve heard all the horror stories of the terrible 2’s, from the temper tantrums, hitting, biting, slapping, squealing, not sharing; you name it, I’ve heard it. Mostly from other mother’s warning me of what’s to “come”. And trust me personally I’ve seen it, heard it, been the receiver of all these actions with my now […]
