When my son Tristan was a baby we went over to my husband’s professor’s house for their Thanksgiving dinner. Their home sat on several acres with a barn, a green house, and a couple of ponds. It was beautiful at their home in the country in North Carolina. The house was a quaint old two-story home with lots of detail and cracks running up the walls that silently told the… more

I love this time of year and this past week my kids and I took a field trip to a pumpkin farm.

I love bananas and I love sushi! When I saw this cute banana sushi pin on Pinterest, I got excited, until I clicked through to the recipe and saw they used wheat bread. We eat gluten free as a family for my son Tristan and gluten free bread does not and would not wrap around a banana like wheat bread does. I tried to make some banana sushi using rice tortillas,… more

I am not a big fan of sweets, but there is nothing I love better than a tall glass of milk and a really chewy, moist, and yummy cookie. To me the perfect cookie must have chocolate chips and a nice subtle flavor.

Peach season is in full swing here in Maryland and I love it. Maryland has some of the best peaches I ever tasted.

It was simple to do, and the end result was fabulous. Ingredients:… more

I love being a mom and having kids for a number of reasons. The hugs, kisses, and cuddles are a treat. I get to make fun crafts and play outside with the water table and in our homemade sprinkler. What I love most about having kids is creating fun, colorful and delicious healthy snacks. As a child I loved popsicles, but most popsicles are full of colors,… more

My husband and I were newly weds when we purchased our first home a quaint little ranch with a lot of old charm nestled in the beautiful State of Maine.

We collectively rounded up… more

Have you heard about the new cake phenomenon called “cake pops“, created by Bakerella.com? I was intrigued by these round, candy-coated cake balls, and thought how hard can they really be to make. I googled how to make cake pops and watched the video by Bakerella, and then went shopping at my local Walmart. The cake pops did not look difficult to make, and I was sure I could even… more

“Hello Grandma! I saw an elevator today, we pushed buttons!” said Tristan as he held two bananas to his ears. Yes, bananas are a hit in this household, and go fast. Bananas are fun to eat, and can be great telephones to talk to our grandmas and grandpas with too. One of the first foods my son Tristan fell in love with was bananas. He loves bananas so much I… more
