Despite it feeling like winter for the past few weeks, which has meant snow, more snow, some rain that turned to ice, then more snow – and me having to run indoors to not slip/fall – I’m glad that winter is finally here! That means the…

Continue reading →: Puppy Chow TrufflesI first tasted these at a clam bake in the fall and immediately thought they would be perfect for the holidays.

Hello,
I’m Melissa
Welcome to I Crashed The Web — proof that I’ve been oversharing online since the early days of blogging. It started as a blog (back when that was cool), morphed into a mom blog (when that was cool), and now it’s my happy place for all the things I love: running, baking, reading, traveling and life with my family of five.
Let’s connect
