Friends, a week away in the forests of the North Carolina mountains has been a balm for my mental health. Well, that and the fact that I’m two steps away from securing a position that I will not only enjoy and be good at, but that will help secure my family’s financial stability and longtermContinue reading “Finding Healing and Fall Harvest Salad, Pumpernickel Bread, and Big Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie”

Christmas 2020: Bake All The Cookies!
We made it through the Fall semester, both with Homeschool and my university’s semester! Celebrate! I still have some things to button-up in both places before I can say “Winter Break!” and even then, the kids will get a break, but I will be planning the next unit for them while also planning for myContinue reading “Christmas 2020: Bake All The Cookies!”
A Tale of Two Birthday Cakes: Confetti Crumb and Chocolate Cookies n’ Cream
Yikes! I’m woefully behind on updating the blog! Ever since we got back from South Dakota there has been a sea of vlogs to edit (including some for work), work for my actual job is ramping up again, and school stuff–including the in-person vs. remote nail biter decision–all happened; and, perhaps most importantly for thisContinue reading “A Tale of Two Birthday Cakes: Confetti Crumb and Chocolate Cookies n’ Cream”
Mother’s Day Tea: Dark Chocolate Chip Scones
It has been a very busy week for me, as I had a writing deadline for work that seems to have sucked one week of my life away (yes that’s a play on a Princess Bride reference).

COVID-19 Morale Boost:May the 4th Disney at Home Day
After the success of our first Disney at Home Day, which I had planned very much on the fly, the kids kept asking to do it again. On our first day, we had park hopper tickets and visited all of our favorite highlights from each park. For subsequent Disney at Home days, then, I thoughtContinue reading “COVID-19 Morale Boost:May the 4th Disney at Home Day”
Snacks: Crunchy Chunky Granola and Healthier Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
One afternoon late last week, I started making granola and wound-up with cookies. It was a rainy day near the end of the spring semester at my university, and even while I had so much to do to wrap-up one semester, I was also preparing for the summer term. My email inbox was hopping, messagesContinue reading “Snacks: Crunchy Chunky Granola and Healthier Chewy Oatmeal Cookies”
Weekly Recipes: Beignets and Basic Bread
I’m a little later than anticipated on updating the blog with these recipes, so I apologize. Every week since the second week of March has been a little different, it seems. It’s all part of this new normal we’re all adjusting to and coping with, and there are definitely more-successful and less-successful days. I dislikeContinue reading “Weekly Recipes: Beignets and Basic Bread”
