Happy Saturday! Isn’t it so hard to believe that the holidays just came barreling in and landed at my feet already! Just like that-they are here! I know the days are getting busier and busier, so if you missed something last week, it’s cool! You can get caught up right down there!! Have fun and enjoy your weekend!

Sunday Dinner Idea: Grown-Up Grilled Cheese with Potato-Leek Soup

Inspired by a friend of mine, I decided to put together a grown-up version of the classic cool-day meal. I searched for fancy cheese based on what I thought Bobby Flay would choose and it was a great success! You should try this! It’s “Easy Cheesy!”

On a Sunday Afternoon at the Park

This was a collaboration of photos taken Sunday at the park with our guys. The outing was an effort to not only enjoy some much needed family time, but to get the wiggles out of my non-stop boys! It’s didn’t work, the wiggles are permanent – but a great time was had by all! I voted this one best photo award because it’s of my boys and they make me smile!

Thank you, Emeril!

Looks like I hit an over-achiever day last Monday with two posts. But, in my defense it was Monday and Monday is when a new poll question comes out! This was an account of how Emeril Lagasse saved our culinary lives! You can still vote in the poll by the way…until Monday!

Paper Cutting is Hard Work!

When I should have been hard at work helping Logan’s teacher cutting paper for one of their upcoming crafts, I was instead snapping photo after photo of the task at hand. Behind the scenes in an elementary school classroom involves a lot more than you’d think! It put my brain to work!
