The kids’ last day of Mother’s Day Out was today so summer has officially begun in our house! We kicked off the season with a surprise field trip to Chuck E. Cheese (It was as much of a surprise to me as it was to them….they wanted to celebrate with ice cream, & I was…

When I was pregnant with Jude, I had horrible eczema. I’ve dealt with it the majority of my life, but this was the worst it has ever been. Thinking it could very well be diet related, I cut out gluten (& maybe dairy & coffee for part of that?? I don’t even remember anymore…). Well…

I was super pumped for Friday’s cooking show recipe! A friend in my community group made brownie pie for our Christmas party, & I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. Brownies are one of those things that I thought could only be made from a box until I was in my twenties. Kind of like…
