Vegetarian Polenta Casserole (Freezer Meal Recipe)

I'm in a local moms group and one of our newest activities is a freezer meal swap.  Last week, we had our first swap and it has been awesome to have ready-made homemade dinners waiting in my freezer.  I loved that I was able[...]

Rhubarb Cupcakes + Nora is 4 1/2!

Last Thursday, Nora turned four and a half.  Looking at this picture, I can't help but think how wise she is -- some of the things she says to me are just amazing, and I wonder how can she only be 4 1/2?  But other moments I find[...]

Chocolate Whole-Wheat Waffles

One of the less realized impacts of Chris' crazy schedule back in Wyoming was that we had moved away from cooking and eating big breakfasts together as a family.  Since we never had dinner together on Nantucket, we had developed a giant[...]

Buttermilk Biscuits + Our Lovely New Kitchen

I am in love with our new kitchen. It's light and bright.  It's big and spacious.  It's the first kitchen we have ever had that actually fits every one of our appliances, kitchen tools and cooking utensils, with room to spare.[...]

Red, White, and Blue Double Strawberry Shortcakes

We are out having lots of Fourth of July fun, (here's a sneak peek) but I thought I might actually plan ahead and have a blog post appear anyway.  (Imagine that!)  This delicious little cupcake is what the big people in our[...]

Blueberry Lemon Cream Pie

Today was the first full day Chris had off in months.  We slept in, ate pancakes at 10:30, then met the inspector at our almost new house (all's well on that front), and spent a bunch of time together as a family.  Chris got l[...]

Chocolate Velvet 3.14 (Pie)

If you're nerdy like me, there is only one way to celebrate March 14th, a.k.a. ∏ day. And that's with a delicious homemade pie, of course.  I almost baked a "healthier" fruit pie (the kind that I have been known to also le[...]

Bath time with ambiance a la #ERCOT. 

Luckily we have not been affected by the water issues so many others have experienced. I finally decided to bathe the little girls for the first time in over a week (with a tiny amount of water, I promise) and the power went out again. We got out a lantern and decided to just roll with it. At least it's not below 30 anymore and I managed to get the diapers washed earlier today when we thought things were back to normal.

Maybe this is the universe's way of making sure I don't stay up until 2AM working?

#snowpocalypse and poor planning on the part of the Texas Electric grid means we're experiencing a candle lit evening. So far every one is still having fun and it's not too cold in here yet so we're calling it an adventure.

Well this is something I never thought I would see... a second real snow in the same winter. This one is light and powdery and is promising to hang around for most of the week thanks to freezing temperatures. There are no plows or salt/sand trucks down here so we're all locked in and enjoying an old fashioned snow day.

I figured I had to bundle Vivienne up and take her picture in the snow just so I can prove to her that once we had a real winter in Texas.

Zara made a #texassnowman - tiny, full of grass and leaves, but a legit snowman. 😂 We have the fastest snowflakes I've ever seen falling down here right now and could get up to 4 inches! The girls are over the moon.
