Winter came in suddenly it seems. Yes, I know that it’s technically still fall for another few weeks, but we had snow after snow after snow this week, and the days were grey and bright, so I’m declaring it unofficially winter. Oh yeah, and we had a SNOW day! Now…

The holiday season is officially here! And my heart and belly are so full. We had a whirlwind week – it included a lot of driving for a little family time. Do I wish we didn’t have to drive as long and lived closer to my family? Yes! Do I…

Continue reading →: Almost the Season
I can’t believe that it is ALMOST THE HOLIDAY SEASON! Yes, all CAPS is completely necessary — because I cannot WAIT for the holidays. It is truly my favorite time of year. I love all the cooking, baking, time with family, time off work, and the magic of the season…

I’m now at week five of having a broken toe, and I’m starting to get back out there to run. I’m starting slow and short, since my toe still doesn’t feel 100% normal, but I’m not sure how it’s supposed to feel, so maybe not normal is normal? Sunday started…

I love, love, LOVE white chocolate pretzels. My mom’s cousin (my Aunt Alice) used to make them growing up and it was a treat to get a tin of those during the holidays. Hers weren’t only delicious, but they looked great, too! She made chocolate-covered pretzels also, and while I…
