Happy {late} New Year! I think this is the first New Year’s in about 4 years that I’ve made it til midnight. We had some of my friends over and it helped that we both have a one and three year olds to run around the house until they crashed at around 11:30. The three […]

I guess before I even really start this post, I want to tell you: if you have an unlimited flow of money and want to freeze your butt off then go, if not, stay home (definitely call me negative Nancy on this one). Yes, it was something cool to see, but totally not worth $100 […]

Wow, Christmas is fastly approaching! There are so many easy Christmas crafts and cookies that I’ve been doing with Ella. This one was one of her favorites! She even had the neighbor over and they did it together! I didn’t see the green icing at the store so I just added a few drops of […]

This craft was so fun to make! I found the idea here. I think what made it so fun was that we got to hunt down some of mother nature at its finest. Fall is so beautiful here in Virginia. We went on a little hunt for all the turkey’s feathers. Ella (3) was really […]

I think I found the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe. I found it a few weeks ago when my mom was in town watching the girls so Brian and I could go to a Redskins game (hush it, they actually won this one AND R.G. III ran an 80 yard touchdown). Anyways, Ella was begging […]

“You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take country out of a girl.” I’ve always loved meatloaf. Even the slap-on- your-plate kind of meatloaf. Recently, I’ve found a cute and stuffy nice looking way to make it. Instead of baking it in a loaf, bake it in a muffin tin! You […]

Here is the perfect meal for the cold fall and winter days. This cornbread is so amazing! It’s so moist and sweet. Mmmmmmm I’m drooling right now. I’ve had so many compliments on this recipe, so I guess the secret should come out. This is thanks to my mother in-law who got this from a […]
