After much delay a sweet little boy entered our family and we are so glad that he is here.  Jen had a long pregnancy and as anxious as we were for him to arrive I know she was even more anxious!  It is always amazing how the second a family member arrives you can't imagine life without them.  When I look at Jen&…

This is the most unflattering photo I think I've ever taken. It does not make this brownie look delicious in any way, however, it does make me laugh because it shows how quickly my family ate these brownies. I went to get my camera and the next thing I knew the pan was empty with just one lonely brownie sitti…

Having a homemade breakfast ready for our family during the weekdays is really hard. Our house is awake at 5:30 and people start leaving at 6:15. Needless to say mornings can be chaotic and cooking in that time can add stress not peace to the situation. I have been trying to make breakfasts the night before so that e…

I love cooking because I love seeing the smile it puts on the faces of my family.  Pie is a food that is sure to make everyone smile.  Unfortunately gluten free pie crust is not an easy thing to make.  We have had countless failed attempts but we finally have found something that works!  I found this on  glutenfree…

I absolutely love celebrating minor holidays. I just like doing something special without any stress to go over the top like major holidays have. Days like Valentine's day are fun for me. I enjoy getting up early to make the kids fun pink pancakes and strawberry milk with color changing straws. I like decorating t…

We finally have made successful gluten free dinner rolls that are easy enough to make even on a school night. Rolls is one of those things that I desperately miss since going gluten free. The kids were thrilled with these rolls and even wanted seconds and suggested eating them for dessert. Ha! They always keep me lau…

I love that weekends get us a break from the usual routine. Our weekends are full of busyness of kids activities but it is the fun kind of busy. My favorite days always start with slow mornings when the sun is shining in and I can drink a slow cup of coffee in my chair while I relax and plan out our day, which is f…

It has been cold lately. Days filled with really bright blue sky and crisp cold air that fills your lungs and makes them burn and yet feel so good at the same time. It is hard to get the kids outside in weather like this but we've been trying to enjoy at least a couple minutes each day outside just so we can ge…

Super Bowl Sunday always means good times, lots of cheering, and lots of good food in our house. We had a wonderful time cheering on the Pats again this year and in the end had another great win. It was fun to have the kids old enough to all stay up for the whole game and we played commercial bingo f…
