Toffee
K’s family makes toffee each Christmas, and it’s a tradition that he absolutely loves. We celebrated Christmas super early this year, around Thanksgiving, as my sister was in town, so come December we didn’t really feel like it was Christmas. To help with that, I decided I would try my hand at making toffee, as […]
Pumpkin French Toast Sticks
We were really hesitant to try this recipe – usually pumpkin recipes are too pumpkiny, but not these! We loved the hint of pumpkin flavor, and them already being in strips made it simple for A to pick them up and eat them. These were definitely a fun change from our usual, boring french toast.
Our Kind of Beauty and Chaos
I ended up joining Maskcara as an artist back in August, a few days after our second meeting with T’s birth mom. I was convinced she wasn’t going to pick us, so I made a rash decision and joined a MLM, haha. It was semi-rash, I’d actually been debating it for months, but hadn’t decided […]
Shrimp Taco Salad
Taco salads have become a bit of a staple food over here, as they’re so quick to make. But, they can get boring fast. So, shrimp taco salads were born! These only solve the boring issue for K, as I don’t do shrimp, but he loved them! I’m still looking for ways to spice up […]

Cheesy Vegetable Chowder
Cheesy vegetable soups have always been a favorite of mine, but I’ve found they tend to be awful or amazing, there’s no in between. So, finding one to master at home has been interesting. This one though, it’s a win for sure.
Slow Cooker Kuna Pao Chicken
K and I love Kung Pao Beef, so when I found a recipe for kung pao chicken we had to try it! This isn’t as sweet as I’m used to, so if you like sweeter like me you can add in some more honey, along with some brown sugar. K loved it as is, and […]
Movie Nights & Cuddles with A
We try not to do a lot of TV with A, other than some Baby Signing Time watching to help her, and us, learn, and to give us a chance to sweep and fold laundry , haha. But, she’s now to the point that she can last for oh, 15-30 minutes when we do family […]
