I have always wanted to live in an old, historic house. One that we could fix up and restore, maybe a little farm house like the folks on Little House Living restored. I never dreamed that my little piece of history that I would live in would be a World War II bomb shelter (literally) on […]

Easy Re-Baked Potatoes, Great for the Freezer
One of my very favorite side dishes since I was little has been re-baked potatoes. Not the ones that you get in the freezer section at the grocery store or even the ones from a good steakhouse, but the ones that I used to help my mom and sisters make when we were growing up. For some reason […]

His first home was an Airstream
I never imagined it this way. I never sat there dreaming about having a baby of my own one day and bringing him home to an Airstream. I usually pictured a meticulously decorated nursery that I had fussed over for the past 9 months until it was perfect. His name was on the wall in […]

Easy Marinades for steak, kabobs and other grilled beef
We love to travel, and with that travel we get to eat… a lot… I’m not sure about you, but some of my strongest memories are associated with smells or tastes. I will smell plumeria lotion and be taken back to a trip I took to Peru, when I was in high school, and I […]

The Best Pound Cake EVER!!!
So this is by far the BEST pound cake that you will ever have… I have no idea of the origins of this recipe except to say that it came from my great-grandmother and she was a southern woman who knew her cooking!! The pound cake got its origins when people did not write down […]

Pacific Rim Salmon
I am SOOO boring when it comes to cooking. I love to cook, but I always have this thing in the back of my mind that I don’t want to put effort into a recipe only to find out that Tavis or I do not like it… so I stick to the same old […]

Follow my blog with Bloglovin So the last few weeks were a little rough, there has been a lot on our plate and we have some big/life changing decisions to make in the imminent future. The stress was building, the walls were closing in and we needed space. So what do we do? We drove […]

The mommy diet
Today, I have been a victim of the mommy diet…. Don’t be fooled by the name, even though I have been deprived, by no means have I lost a pound or a single inch. The day starts off with good intentions; I sit down with a cup of deliciously rich, strong, black coffee and […]

6 tips for taking your baby to the beach
So the whole beach+baby thing is not exactly new to me. I jumped that great hurdle of motherhood with a less than 2 month old little guy and felt like I has conquered the world… or at least the beaches of Puerto Rico. Little did I know that the trips would get more and more […]
