When I was younger I would watch my mom eat Biscotti. I didn't really understand it. Was it a cookie or was it breakfast? Was it a cookie you could eat at breakfast? Why wasn't I allowed to eat any? Then when I did I thought she finally let me because it had gone stale. Little did I know then the many different flavors that Biscotti came in and that it was supposed to be crunchy. The problem with … [Read more...]

Lately, when dinner is concerned it's just the boys and then just the parents or dad eats late or works late and its just us before sports. Not enough time or … [Read more...]

Wordful Wednesday {secret trips}
By 38 Comments
I went to Florida for a week and didn't tell you. I know, I know but we do it for security reasons. There is just something about announcing hey I'm leaving my house unattended for a week that doesn't sit right so I'm telling you know. So if I seemed a bit stressed or didn't post as much- that's why. Of course a few of you caught the location stamp on some of my facebook posts ;) I still have … [Read more...]
