Bread Milk Eggs … As I sit on my kitchen stool, trying so hard to focus on the simple task before me (writing out a grocery list), I find that it is absolutely impossible. We have both had the longest week, clocking in more than normal hours at work, driving to see the folks […]

Bravely Facing Corned Beef (and all the fixins)
When it comes to cooking, I feel fairly confident. Whether it’s a steak and potatoes kind of a night, or a spicy curry dish, I know my way around a kitchen. However, I have a confession: I may have a slight phobia of large cuts of meat. So here I am (after a phone call […]
“Well, are you trying?”
This is one of those moments that in the future, after I have conceived, carried, labored, and am finally holding our baby that I will not even remember. But right now, it has me so upset. A year ago, I had my first doctor’s appointment with a provider that was standing in while my […]
Love Amber, Murray, & Quincy Bee
I had the pleasure of spending time with a sweet little family on their rural property here in the Pacific Northwest. It was a beautiful day full of duck wrangling, garlic planting, diaper changing, and nature loving. Here is a peek into their special Sunday time.

Miss Katie in the kitchen whipping up fresh cream. Here’s the birthday girl! Had to have the game on. SheeLa and […]
Maple Glazed Roasted Delicata Squash with Brussels Sprouts
Here in the Pacific Northwest, the change in season brings some much-awaited favorites. We love eating fresh strawberries in the late spring and early summer- straight from our patch in the garden, the juiciest tomatoes in August (and when you think about it have you ever eaten a half decent tomato in the dead of […]
Pumpkin Patch + Best Friend= Good Medicine
Who doesn’t love a good pumpkin patch trip? Waking up early, caffeinating, bundling up, then it’s on the road to our favorite patch. It seems like there are more and more family farms with pumpkin patches popping up every year. We like one out in Puyallup called Spooner Farm. It’s about half an hour from […]
