Babies and pizza! Not to be confused with babies IN pizza. Or babies ON pizza. Or baby pizza. Jess, I’ve been waiting months (years, CENTURIES . . . MILLENNIUMS) to tell you something of utmost vital importance. This is your virtual baby showeeeerrrr! (said like Oprah) Ashley and I came together and rounded up 9257345234 […]

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 […]

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 […]
