So this time last year I was about 20-ish weeks pregnant with an (unbeknownst to me at that time) baby boy on the way. His name is Weston. He's a rockstar. Funny thing is, this time last year, even before I ever knew that I was having a boy, I started to really get into football. Nate and I worked at the same company and would ride together to work in the mornings. He claimed that the only for him to deal with traffic was to listen to sports radio, specifically Mike & Mike in the ... continue reading...
Lake Almanor Adventures 2012
BOO! How 'bout that face to greet you right away on a Wednesday morning? The good news is that I don't actually look like that today. And by "look like that" I mean scared out of my mind. See, this post is ALL about our trip over Labor Day weekend, and after putting up all of my Instagram pictures I'm kind of sad and want to go back. Lakes are awesome and I absolutely LOVE being around water. The lifestyle is just so laid back and I have to admit that one of ... continue reading...
Sweet Thai Noodles
The other night I was so lost on what to make for dinner. No grocery shopping had happened. No quick run to get supplies. No plan in place for meal-making. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Worriedly I scanned the shelves of my pantry - I have a weird obsession with always trying to use up everything we have in the house before buying groceries. Coconut milk? Check. Rice wine vinegar? Double check. Peanut butter. Always - no check ... continue reading...
6 Months Old!
Half a year. My baby boy has been with us for half of an entire year and I truly cannot believe how much I love him every single day. When I was pregnant I had no idea what to expect when it came to loving my child. I knew I would love him, sure, but it just was one of those things where I had no expectation. I knew I loved our dogs and I knew that I would love him even more than that, but how do you even quantify that? So I loved him the best I knew how and waited til he decided it ... continue reading...

Chicken Cordon Bleu Pizza
When I was growing up my grandparents had an awesome RV that they used to travel around the country in. When I was 4 years old one of my cousins and I went on a cross-country road trip with them in that awesome RV, from Washington state all the way to North Carolina. Here's what I remember from that trip: We stopped at a truck stop and I accidentally dropped the chocolate syrup (for making chocolate milk) down a manhole that had the cover pulled off. And was subsequently blackballed ... continue reading...
Back
I'm back. Sort of. This past weekend we were in paradise, and try as I might I just can't seem to wrap my head around being back to real life and doing real life things. What do you mean real life doesn't include waking up to an amazing view of mountains and pine trees and a perfect lake right in front of you? You mean to tell me that real life doesn't include happy hour on a deck every day before enjoying a fabulous dinner? And normal, REAL life doesn't have paddle boarding and ... continue reading...
Nothing Better…
There's nothing better than baby laughter, and since I love you guys (and love my little dude even more) I want to share this little nugget of awesomeness with ya. Happy Friday! ... continue reading...
Gingered Pork – A Taste of Home Recipe
When it comes to cookbooks I have 3 categories: Cookbooks that I like to look through; Cookbooks that I like to actually cook from; Cookbooks that I like to look through AND actually cook from. Y'all know the me's of this world - the cookbook hoarders with every book there is out there, only to cook from our own family's recipes instead. There are a FEW cookbooks that I really love - America's Best Test Kitchen (a fabulous gift from Nate's cousin Carrie), The Pioneer Woman Cooks ... continue reading...
Liquid Snack
I just have to share this with you guys really quickly. See, it doesn't need a lot of words or even a great picture (clearly). All you need to know is that this is one delicious smoothie, it's under 250 calories (if you track that), and more than anything it's a great and filling way to get more greens in your diet. Make it. I promise you won't be disappointed! ... continue reading...
Mango Sweet and Sour Mix for Margaritas
Alrighty y'all, let's talk margaritas shall we? Besides the obvious, "I love margaritas, they're the token drink of summer, best way to ingest tequila, and there's a million different ways to make the best one" remarks I could make, I just need you to know this: I love me a good margarita. I don't have them often because, let's be honest, it's a little too easy to drink more than one ifyougetmydrift. For those of you who don'tgetmydrift I'm saying it means I get tipsy super ... continue reading...
Cooking Light to the Rescue
I'm not afraid to admit this: dinner around here can get kind of boring sometimes. It's true - this food blogger can easily get stuck in a rut with her meals. Hey, I'm only human, right? See by the end of my fun-filled days of playing with my adorable baby, working out and working I can either be tired or lazy or both...and so dinner suffers. That, plus working with a budget at the grocery store can put a damper on things sometimes. I know what we like, I know what things ... continue reading...
