Small Potatoes. Do you ever feel like your life is small potatoes compared to the bigger picture? I’ve been trying to write a post for the past couple of weeks and all I do is delete what I type because I feel like it is such a tiny view in world that seems so large. My first …

Mistakes Shouldn’t Make You Berry Blue
How do you handle mistakes? Do you freak out and scream? Do you roll up into a ball and hope that the day ends soon? Do you live in regret and overthink what has happened? Do you just shake it off and move on? I think I’m a mover and a shaker. I own when screw up but always …
Mother Nature, a Broken Fridge and a Crustless Quiche
Be careful what you wish for. That is the lesson I learned this past week. It wasn’t a simple wish like hoping that the ice cream shop has my favorite flavor as the daily special. It wasn’t as complicated as wishing for world peace. It was kind of in the middle but then it snowballed…. literally. Our refrigerator broke. It …
Can’t Get It Up (Or How to Post a Recipe after Your Computer Acts Up)
Blogging is fun. You get a captive audience that can hear your voice as you write out the thoughts that trickle out of your head. It is venue to talk about current events (as long as it has nothing to do with politics, religion or parenting). It also helps you keep in tune with trends …
A Love Story, A Friendship and Bridal Breakfast
Love stories. Some of us can’t get enough of them. Some of us hate them. There are ones with happy endings and those that make us cry at the mere thought of them. They can make us love people more and there are some stories that make us realize we aren’t being loved right. I …
Sour Patch “Kids”
Kids. I have zero in my household (unless you count emotional age then there are 2). But I do have more kids than I can count that call me “aunt.” I love it. I get to be the fun, cool one who never has to be responsible for a child’s behavior. I can always say …
Crazy Monkey Bread
So it has been five weeks since surgery and everything is going as expected. I am still taking it easy and am getting a little stir crazy trying to fill my days around the house. I’ve had plenty of time to do crafts, read about food and watch copious amounts of television. The hardest part …
Feeling Scrambled
Do you ever feel like your brain is scrambled? That confused feeling when you are trying to complete a simple task but for some reason it isn’t coming easily. You know the solution but for some reason you just can’t get there. (If I were a little older, I’d just say “senior moment” but I …
A Tale of Two Waffles
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness….(I know there is more to this but this is as much as I can remember.) I think the beginning of A Tale of Two Cities could also describe the recovery period …
Pumpkiny French Toast Casserole
We always seem to have a lot of overnight company. (Not like some freaky swinger stuff, usually old friends and family) I’m not a fabulous hostess so I am not sure why these people keep coming back. (This attitude may be part of my poor hostess skills.) I just get really anxious that my house …
