Mommy, I wannnnt pizzzzzza!
Will LOVES pizza. It is quite possibly his all-time favorite food, though he is still a little young to say for sure. Nonetheless, whenever I ask him what he wants to eat for dinner, the answer is usually pizza (or, as he says it, peet-za). Knowing that my husband would be working tonight, I decided [...]
Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookies Revisited
Back in April, Kalyn posted a question to me here. I tactfully (or perhaps not so tactfully) ignored it because it wasn’t one I was ready to answer in public. But I think I have waited a sufficient amount of time now. So, the answer is yes, Kalyn, I am pregnant. Will, my sweet little [...]

Snow Day!
Once he got over the “ew” factor of the snow sticking to his mittens, Will discovered that he loved the snow. We spent more than an hour outside, marching around in it’s fluffy goodness.
Chicken Basil Soup with Carrots: When All Else Fails, Make Soup.
Thank you to all the well wishers who commented on Will being under the weather. Thankfully, he is feeling better now – though his stomach is still sensitive and milk is not his friend. Being that milk is his favorite drink, it stinks for him because that’s what he wants most. But I am doing [...]
