I was at a networking event yesterday and a fellow working mom asked how I handle work/parenting balance. My quick quip was that I don’t. It’s true but not helpful, so I elaborated. I have not figured out balance – I don’t know if it’s possible. I work a lot, I have other responsibilities on … More My Cure For Mom Guilt
I frequently find myself wishing for a crystal ball to give me the answers in life. I often struggle with figuring out what the right decision is and for the first time ever the universe spoke so clearly there was no question as to what I’m supposed to be doing. Last Friday Danny had an … More The Universe Has Spoken
Life’s a little slow right now but I don’t mind. I’m embracing the cycles of life right now (and a perpetually messy house). Lucas is a love but a 7am to 9:30pm job, which limits our ability to do other things. He’s too funny and cute for me to care. In the moments he’s with … More Currently
I made two amazing pizzas Saturday night and have to share. Homemade pizza sounds like a lot of work but it’s not when you use Trader Joe’s herbed pizza dough. The vegetarian pizza I make often for company and it’s always a hit. If you don’t like goat cheese I still say give it a … More Pizza Pizza
Weekend throwback edition: Roseanne premiered this week (it was also renewed for another season) and it was more than I hoped for. I love John Goodman and Dan Conner is my favorite tv dad so at the end of the day just seeing him again was all I needed but after watching the show I … More Fast Four
The best part about getting older is that things start to fall into place. I find this to be especially true with home decor. In our previous homes I’ve rushed to do some things that turned out to be unnecessary (mainly because we moved soon after). This time around I’ve taken the slow and steady … More Our Dining Room
We cook a lot around here. We have dinner with Mr. B at least twice a week and it requires a full meal. I’m constantly trying new recipes and declaring that we will be eating it every other week but we have so much going on I inevitably forget what I made. I’m going to … More 5 Favorite Recipes
I’m exciting for the weekend but hurting too. Kat is coming over for girls night today. Cara is hosting an Easter Egg hunt for the kiddos Saturday and Gina and Lindsey will be there. I need to find a way to see Melissa and Raechel so I can see all my friends in one weekend! … More Fast Four
I made these cookie bars for St. Patrick’s Day and they were both delicious and easy to make – win/win! I’m not a beer drinker but since I live with a beer connoisseur I know stouts are generally a winter beer. Since winter seems to be sticking around, it’s a good time to try the … More Oatmeal Stout Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
I love reading and I love sharing that love of reading with Lucas. He has started memorizing sections of his favorite books and loves looking at the art and finding little things. Reading is definitely our happy time. I feel so lucky to have those happy moments because (I’m incredibly paranoid and a professional worrier) … More Pay It Forward
