Boo! You were scared. Admit it. Happy Halloween! I always feel like Halloween is the gateway to the holiday season. The entrance to madness-ville. The portal to crazy town. From here on out it’s full speed ahead! I’m terrified. Hold me? Quick story! The above photo, okay, so last Thursday night was the opening reception […]

Homemade Baby Food. Four Recipes, Yo.
Okay, you guys, baby food is ugly. This has been your warning. But it’s soooo easy to make and I just couldn’t get through this phase without sharing a few of my go-to purees for the gremlins. And no, they’re not going to be gremlins for Halloween. Which actually breaks my heart because I seriously […]
That Time I Peed and Passed Out At the Dentist
Oh don’t act so surprised. Let me set the scene for you real quick. As if imagining me on the floor, lights out with urine soaking through my designer denim wasn’t enough. It was the summer of 2004. I had just moved to Kansas City a few months before, so as I began to settle […]
Friday Flotsam
So I’m a couple of flotsam days late. Will you flotsam forgive me? Isn’t it so cool that these tree and nature photos are the very first ones you’ve seen yet this fall? Or probably ever!? I don’t know how I do it. I will say, it’s absolutely insane in KC right now. The colors, […]
Snoopits: The Walls Edition
Ahhhh, welcome to the second edition of Snoopits! The series that allows me to pretend I’m cool enough for you to want to snoop around my crib. All the while realizing there will never be a world or lifetime in which I am cool enough to say the word crib. So what we have here […]
One-Pan Chicken Spaghetti Bake
Yes I have eight enormous photos but it’s worth it! Today it’s all about this dish. No willy nilly. No riff raff. No bamboozle caboodle. No swindley bimbly. No flim flam shim sham. No hornswoggle hoodwinky dinky boodonky konk. It’s one pan. It’s dried pasta. It’s uncooked everything. It’s blanketed in cheese. And it WORKS. […]
Friday Flotsam
FRAHDEEEE. I baked a cake! Not because it’s Friday. It was my dad’s birthday last week, so I took my fears by the horn (frosting?) and got after it. They popped through town (my parents, not the frosting) for a few days on their way to Branson. However, I suspiciously think they mainly came to […]
Prosciutto-Wrapped Barbeque Jalapeno Poppers. And a Farm Party.
I almost titled this post “Been Farming Long?” because I figured I’m long overdue for a good face punching. But plastic surgeons are crazy expensive these days, and I need to wash my hair later, so . . . We went to a farm party! At this dude’s house. Instead of asking if he needed […]
Easy Red Beans and Rice
Oodalalee! (name that movie) I’d almost completely forgotten about red beans and rice. Erased from my mind, thrown into a large bag and burned up forever-forgotten. But I love red beans and rice, so I have no idea why I said it like that. Also, red beans and rice is one of those meals where […]
Friday Flotsam
I think I’m starting a new series! I’ve been playing around with these Friday posts for about three weeks now, and mama digs. Ohhh good, within five seconds I made the douchiest decision and spoke in third person. I’m not rightly sure it’s possible to recover from this, but I’ll give her a go. So […]
