Continue reading →: Good Bye January!
We made it through the first month of 2025!! Hooray!! That means we’re one month closer to spring, warmer days, lighter mornings, and hopefully sunnier days! January turned out to be an okay month, all things considered. Despite the sub-zero temps, constant snow and ice, a few days of travel,…

Continue reading →: Birthday Week!
In case the title didn’t give it away, this week was my birthday! I celebrated my birthday Thursday with a quick trip away with just B! It was the first time we had gone away since the 3 kids were born, and our first actual trip away on a plane…

What are your thoughts about January? Our January so far has been cold, snowy, icy, and not my favorite. In fact, it’s supposed to be in the negatives next week, which is also not my favorite: Now, don’t get me wrong – there are some good things about January. And…

And just like that, we are back to our routine! School started up again part of the way through this week, and I was back at early meetings (an 8 a.m. on Monday even before school started), so I started getting back to my normal morning workouts. While I do…

Continue reading →: What Day Is It?
It’s that time of year that I love. Spending time with my family. Sleeping in (well, until 7 or when my kids get up). Baking and eating all the cookies. Seeing my parents. And of course, not quite knowing what day it is. Despite not knowing what day it is,…

Continue reading →: Feeling Jolly
If by feeling jolly I mean full of holiday events and (of course) sugar, then the title of this post is true. We had 3 different holiday concerts this week – each of the kids put on a holiday performance, AND I went on a cookie-baking spree this week/over the…

Continue reading →: I Made Taylor Swift’s Chai CookiesNote: I’ve updated this recipe! I found the frosting/icing to be too runny and never set — here’s an updated version if you prefer a harder frosting: https://icrashedtheweb.com/2025/12/09/taylor-swifts-chai-cookies-updated/. For the original recipe with the thinner icing, view below. A few months ago, I made Donna Kelce’s chocolate chip cookies (here’s…

Continue reading →: One More Week
One more week … just one full more week and then the kids are off school and I can sleep in! It makes it a little crazy to have the kids off school and me home trying to work, get things done, etc. BUT sleeping in is a priceless joy…
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
