This year will be Max's second Easter, and it's a sure bet, he's much more aware of what will be in his basket now then he was last year at this time. That being said, I have been trying to be proactive in collecting items to put in his basket from the Easter Bunny, just in case his little sister decides to arrive a few days early. I've compiled a list of some of the ... Read More
Avocado Jack Pizza
Pregnant or not, I crave Mexican food. A lot. It's one of my most favorite things in the whole world. When I lived in Maine, one of my favorite restaurants, where I also used to waitress back in my college days, offered a grilled tortilla topped with all kinds of Mexican goodness on their appetizer menu. A few years ago, I found myself desperately craving this ... Read More
Swoon Worthy
Lately I've been giving a lot of thought to how I could best share and get the word out on all of the things that I am currently loving, I haven't been getting much sleep these days, so my mind is going. A lot. I came to the conclusion that the best way to do this, was through a weekly blog post that lists 10 or so items that I am currently swooning over, deeming these things ... Read More
Time Crunch
It is officially April now. The month our little lady is estimated to make her debut into this world! Today marks 27 days until my due date, but I am hopeful for another early arrival, seeing as Max arrived 8 days early. With all that being said, the time crunch is officially on. I sat down the other day to write a to do list... At the top I wrote, "things to do before ... Read More
My Baby… Plus One
I've been experiencing a fair amount of anxiety lately. I can't seem to escape the frantic to-do list in my head, of things that MUST be done before baby #2 arrives. Time is ticking, and with a presumable 4-5 weeks to go, give or take, I can't help but feel a little doubtful that I actually can, and will, accomplish it all. It dawned on me the other day, that the time I ... Read More
Crocheted Easter Egg Garland
In case you haven't picked up on it by now, I have a slight obsession with holiday themed garlands. After making a crocheted shamrock garland to hang on our mantle for St. Patrick's Day, I was determined to come up with one for Easter as well. I played around a little bit, and finally came up with what I think is a pretty simple pattern to create these adorable Easter ... Read More
Caramelized Onion, Tomato, Basil, and Gorgonzola Quiche
Professional food blogger I am certainly not. Case in point this quiche that I made tonight. Though it doesn't necessarily look like something out of the pages of Gourmet magazine... I can assure you, it tasted AH-MAZ-ING. Being that it is Lent, and we are currently not consuming meat on Fridays, every week I feel pressured to think of something new and tasty for dinner ...

Weekly Project Round Up
Perhaps you could call it a form of nesting, but I have been on a bit of a roll lately for starting... and actually finishing projects. Normally, I am notorious for starting things and not finishing them. Just ask my husband. I have visions; I get lots of ideas, and I am always so excited to get started on these endeavors, but before I can complete something, it seems ... Read More
Preparation Makes Perfect
Image via www.kasia.labocki.com During my first pregnancy, I had this undeniable intuition that I was going to go into labor early. Low and behold, it turned out my intuition was right. Max arrived abruptly, a whopping 8 days early. At almost 32 weeks into pregnancy #2, I'm beginning to have that same gut feeling. Although, I know enough now to know that I'll never be ... Read More
