Our little girl is really getting into the stage where she enjoys having activities. Helping mama cook, stickers, coloring – she enjoys having something fun to do! I doubt we can get to all the amazing activities I’ve come across, but these are some of my favorites! {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14}

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
This Thanksgiving we celebrated at my parents, and each family was asked to bring a side dish or dessert. Obviously I had to make cookies! I wanted something seasonal, so I decided to go with gluten free Pumpkin Snickerdoodles. Snickerdoodles have always been one of my favorite cookies, so why…
Inspiration Friday: Nursery Love
When I was pregnant with our first, I thought we should be really “smart” and go with a gender neutral theme for the nursery so we wouldn’t have to buy all new stuff for any future boy children. As it turns out, it looks like our next one is going…
Baked Potato Soup
Baked Potato Soup has always been one of my favorite meals at large family gatherings. My grandma found a recipe in our local Hy-Vee cook-book, and made a few slight modifications. I was lucky enough to get the recipe from her and thought that the rest of the world should…

Gluten Free Triple Chocolate Brownies
I’m not gunna lie: when it comes to brownies I usually just buy Betty Crocker’s gluten free brownie mix… that stuff is good! But seeing as I have to cook most of my own food myself anyways, and I like to come up with new recipes to share with you…
Our Picture Wall is Finally Finished!
As a little reminder, here’s where we started: after purchasing and spray painting my frames, I traced & numbered them all on newspaper and started laying them out… After getting everything hung, I decided it wasn’t quite right, and ended up deciding to redo it! Despite my reluctance to put even more…
Inspiration Friday: Maps
Guys, I love maps. Like a lot 🙂 I think it’s a genetic trait I inherited from my mother! Anywho, I love themes and decor that incorporate maps and would love to figure out a way to bring more of them into our home. Here’s some map themed spaces I’m…
Penne Chicken Gorgonzola
One of Wes’s favorite dishes at a local restaurant uses Gorgonzola cheese as part of the topping… and he’s a little obsessed. He sought out some other recipes using Gorgonzola and came across this one for chicken penne {two of my favorite elements in a meal!} It definitely has a…
