I have been putting off posting this beautiful recipe because it lacked a photo. But I can’t keep it from you any longer. July was National Ice Cream month, but there is NO limiting the gloriousness of ice cream to one month. Share the love! And enjoy a cup or two of this peanut butter […]
Vanilla Ice Cream
My one word of advice to myself: don’t skimp on quality ingredients. When you have so few components and the main flavor is vanilla then by all means use REAL vanilla extract. And maybe splurge for a whole vanilla bean. But that’s for another recipe. This perfectly simple vanilla ice cream recipe comes to me from the Cuisinart Ice […]
No Bake Cookies
No Bake Cookies: Revisited. I can’t believe I don’t make these little gems more often. They are incredibly simple. so fast. so delicious. Assuming, of course, that you love chocolate and peanut butter. Which I do. I had to do some editing to this recipe from the original format. First, I doubled the ingredients–because who […]
Homemade Popcorn
I love me some popcorn. Always have, always will. I think I’ll blame my love for popcorn on my dad. He has popped a bag of Act II almost every night for as long as I can remember. I know it’s a healthy snack–if done right. And “butter lovers” probably isn’t the best option. I’ve […]
The One with the End of Camp
My mother just informed me that it had been three days since I last posted. I know when my mom–the woman who would rather not be ushered into the technological realm–points out that my blog needs to be updated, well, then, gosh darn it, it needs to be updated. (No, mom, I was not actually […]
The One with the Preferences
Confession: I am territorial. I don’t get mean and catty about it, but I am definitely particular about my areas. Examples include the following: my desk at work. (though I got over that one. Just needed time to get comfortable at all of the desks.) my pew at church. (though that’s more out of habit than anything. but please […]
The One with What She’s Learned This Summer
::It’s okay to say “no.” In fact, it’s even healthy. I don’t have to do everything in order to know I’m loved, appreciated, or valued. ::It’s okay to admit when I’m tired and weary and need a break. Who knew I just couldn’t do it all? ::Carving quality husband-wife time into my day is so important […]
I will be back so soon…

The One with the Prison Break
I’ll be honest. I love our cat. Butterscotch. Reginald. Baby. He answers to all three. And I know I love him because I clean his litter box. Something you may remember me saying I would never do. We have our little routines with him. We expect certain behaviors from him, he expects us to reciprocate. For instance, […]
The One with the Fragility
Remember when I mentioned this: “It’s okay to say ‘no.’ In fact, it’s even healthy. I don’t have to do everything in order to know I’m loved, appreciated, or valued. And it’s okay to admit when I’m tired and weary and need a break. Who knew I just couldn’t do it all?” It was just […]
