Way back in April, I started planning out my May bakes. I’ve talked about my monthly planning process before, but if you missed it - I usually plan the entire month of bakes all at once. Usually one or two things a week - something dessert-y and something breakfast-y/afterschool snack-y. It keeps me on track … Continue reading How to Make Letter Donuts.
You guys, the second half of the school year has just really gotten the best of me this year. I haven't posted a thing on here since February and it's not for lack of post ideas. I have so many! It's for lack of time time time. I know. This coming from the person who … Continue reading Sweet Nightgowns for Summer.
We have gone through many, many chocolate chip cookies. I just feel like a home with three little boys and two adults should have homemade cookies on the counter at (nearly) all times.

But I can imagine this coming in handy next year when I'm looking for monthly to dos. I think I'll share every month (but hopefully a little earlier next time!). Now … Continue reading A February To Do List.

Don’t know if you’re keeping track, but there are exactly 21 days in which to fit as many heart themed treats as humanly possible. I just counted. So far at our house, we’ve made heart shaped chocolate chip cookies, sprinkled heart shaped sprinkles on everything we’ve eaten, made heart shaped banana muffins in a heart … Continue reading Heart Hand Pies.
In the grand scheme of fast weeks versus slow weeks - it was a fast one, but I can’t say that it’s one I enjoyed all that much. This morning, our whole street was blanketed in a thick sheet of fog. We drive down a mile long stretch of straight road to get out of … Continue reading The Friday Post.
Luke is sick. Has been all week. We had Monday off for Martin Luther Jr. Day, and he woke with a cough that got steadily worse through the day. Tuesday morning, I woke up at 5am for my school day as normal, got myself ready, the big boys, and then went to wake Luke up … Continue reading On (Working) Mom Guilt.
