Recipies, reviews and random rants from a mom of two!
Depending on the time of day you're reading this, I'm either chasing a 3-year around the house trying to get her to wear a bow in her hair, stuffing my face with Thanksgiving dinner or sitting in front of the television, watching football and wondering if I should root for the Patriots or the Jets and trying to figure out why Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez broke up. … [Read more...]
Day 11: I am thankful for all the military service men and women, past and present who have made many sacrifices to defend our country.

I was always surrounded by family for birthdays, holidays and weekly Sunday dinners. Times have definitely changed and now our closest family members are 9 hours away by car.
