because my friends and family told me to start a blog
it's 7am and I have a milk drunk baby asleep on my chest. What a surprise! I know, you're thinking, "tell me something I don't know, Alexa." Since that's the case, here's something I learned that will forever be implemented as a Christmas tradition in my home: prime rib. Don't waste my time with turkey... Continue Reading →
Bagel and schmear, oh bagel and schmear. Were there ever a more perfect weekend breakfast combo than bagel and schmear (and tomato, capers, red onion, and lox)? Waking to the realization that it's still the weekend and not Monday morning like you thought is cause for celebration in the form of a real breakfast and... Continue Reading →
For when life gets to you and you just need comfort food. This version is far more than leftover potatoes, tomato soup, and ground beef. (Baby is sleeping in my arms and I wrote this from my phone excuse any stupidity) Filling: 2 lbs of lamb, either ground or cubes 3 carrots, chopped 3 celery... Continue Reading →

I was making taco pizza for dinner (another adventure, forgot to take pictures. Oops.) and needed crispy corn strips for the top. I didn’t want crumbled Tostitos, so being... Continue Reading →
We’ll start with my most recent food adventure since it’s still pretty fresh on the brain. The other day I had some close girl friends over for brunch and quality time in the new house. We haven’t really done any big entertaining since the miscarriage in November and then when I got pregnant right away... Continue Reading →
It simultaneously feels like everything and whole lot of nothing has happened over the last five months. First of all, I’m pregnant again and time absolutely creeps by when you’re counting in weeks. Second, we’ve finally unpacked most of the boxes since the move and now are starting to feel like our house is really... Continue Reading →
I lost our baby. “It’s not your fault, you did nothing wrong, something was wrong from the beginning, you wouldn’t want the additional heartache of carrying the baby any longer…” all perfectly legitimate and true things, but they don’t make us feel any less empty.
