Father’s Day is TODAY! Well, in our family, we celebrated yesterday. I like to call the Saturday before Father’s Day “stepfather Saturday” because Jake is an amazing stepdad and deserves to be celebrated, just as much as any biological dad.

4-Ingredient Pico de Gallo
I love, love, love Mexican food! I love spicy, cheesy, fresh foods – so I am almost always down for Mexican food at a restaurant or at home.

Oregano-Buttered Eye of Round Steaks
I love a steak dinner. Ya girl isn’t one to go out to a nice meal and skip the steak to look like a lady with a salad. No, no, no. I like a nice steak.

So who knew that being a parent meant that your entire life would be invaded by toys? Some of them are expensive – the “must have” Christmas gift kind of items. Some of them are educational like color-coded puzzles and books that use the alphabet strategically. Some of them are less significant toys – dollarContinue reading “Toy Storage Tips & Tricks”

Pumpkin Patch Cake Activity
It’s October, and that means it’s time for PUMPKINS! Do y’all love fall? I love the cooler weather, the crewneck sweatshirts, the natural colors, and the vegetation, including pumpkins.
