It’s official. My husband is stinking hilarious. For the first time since January 23, he posted on his blog last night. He’s been a quarterly (if that) blogger for quite some time now.

The One with All the Children of the World
Edited to add: MckMama is hosting a fabulous giveaway in conjunction with raising money for Compassion International’s Child Survivor Program.

The One with a LOT of Firsts
How have I gone all my life without experiencing the almost-sinful indulgence of Ganache? I mean seriously!! Ganache is a heavenly form of chocolate–fudge-like, but so. much. better. This dreamy concoction is made by heating heavy whipping cream which is then poured down over bittersweet or semisweet chocolate. The chocolate melts and upon stirring, this […]
The One with the Epic April Fools’
Ahhh yes, April Fools’ Day. I’ve never been one to partake. I don’t like getting lied to and then made fun of for trusting someone’s word. And I don’t like fooling other people. Well, maybe that’s just because I’m not very good at it. But one year, one fabulous year, Kevin and I took the […]
