Remember that old ’90s movie Friday? “My neck! My back! My neck and my back!” Haha. That’s all I had to say about that. I learned something very important this week. Something I feel every mom should explore with their children, at this crucial spongealicious stage. Knowing what I know now, after this discovery, changes […]
Broken Pasta with Kale, Mushrooms and Sausage
Honestly, is it any huge shock that I’m already giving you kale and sausage? Right. I mean glory be, this is pretty much the fuel to my soul. (besides salt on chocolateeeeohhhdeaaarrrr.) I eat this in soups, on bread, in regular pasta, and now . . . broken pasta! Broken lasagna sheets to be exact. […]

Thoughts on This Whole Motherhood Business: Year One
I feel like it was just yesterday. Well, it was. Yesterday plus 365 days. So I guess it’s yesteryear. Well, yesteryear plus a day. You’re already annoyed. This is probably one of my most favorite photos of all time. I can still remember the exact emotions that were flooding my nucleus innards. Of course the […]
DIY Birthday Crown
We’re getting a birthday over here today! Well, two birthdays. Two babies + two first birthdays = two first birthday crowns. See how good at math I am? First and foremost, these crowns are pretty jank. But I so don’t care. They’re janky cute. Cutesy jank. Two jankies + two cutesies = six proseccos. See […]

A Merry Merry Thank You!

Friday Flotsam
Last Friday until Kreeeeeezmuuuuus! Of course, like the psycho lunatic that I am, I’ve now decided to take the babies to IKEA today to just maaaake sure I’m done shopping. I mean, I’m done. I should stay home. But I need to make sure I’m morally, ethically, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely, undeniably, and reliably- dead! […]
Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Bake
And pasta. I should definitely mention the pasta. Oh, and the roasted garlic cream sauce! I’m gonna mention that, too. An entire head of garlic (duh) roasted until it’s so tender you could use it as a face mask. By the way!- don’t do that. This is like, one of your classics. Chicken and broccoli, […]
