Our first family picture in the hospital, eager to get home to Oliver. Monday August 24, 2020 I woke up in the night (Aug 23) and had a few unusual pains, was a little uncomfortable but nothing that I would call contractions, just some very mild discomfort. It went away in the morning but came back when I tried to lay down for 15 minutes before heading to my Dr. appointment in the afternoon, at 3:15pm. They went away again and I didn’t even mention it to my Doctor at my 40 week appointment ... View the Post
Chewy Chocolate Cookies + Tips For Baking With Toddlers
My mom has been making these Chewy Chocolate Cookies since I was a child and she even stacked them like a cake and put candles in them one year for my birthday party! Anyone else have an unusual cake for their birthday or celebration? These cookies are so easy to make, you only need one bowl, but the batter is so delicious you'll need a lot of self discipline to resist, haha. Oliver, my two and a half year old toddler has made these a few times with me and it made me want to write down a ... View the Post
First Pregnancy 2017 vs Second Pregnancy 2020
Well, if you didn't know already (because I realize I hadn't even announced our pregnancy on the blog yet, oops!) I am pregnant with our second little bundle of joy. I am due in August and obviously for many reasons, these pregnancies have been completely different but actually a lot more similar than I thought. First Pregnancy in 2017 Daniel and I waited almost 10 years of marriage to start trying for a family. I knew this was risky because we had no idea how long it would take to get ... View the Post
Vanilla Cake with Lemon Frosting + COVID-19
We are on day 6 of our social distancing (we are fine!) campaign because of COVID-19 and lucky for us it's not hugely different for our family, because I am a stay-at-home-mom and Daniel already works from home, but we are hunkering down for 2 weeks (hopefully not longer!) to help stop the spread of the virus here in the US. My mom told me a couple months ago that I didn't need to feel the pressure to go out with Oliver so much, but I replied that its actually easier to manage a toddler's ... View the Post

Açai Bowl Recipe
You know when you try something new for the first time and literally can't believe you hadn't tried it before because it instantly becomes your favorite dish of all time? Well that's what happened when I tried a Spoons Açai bowl for the first time. I kept buying them for a little while but at $12 a pop it's not a cheap meal for 1.

Rooibos Cran-Peach Cooler
Say hello to summer with these refreshing 2 ingredient coolers. My son, Oliver, didn't have juice until he got sick when he was about 15 months old and the only thing he would drink was my Rooibos Cran-Peach Cooler. I say my cooler but the recipe actually came from my mom who tasted something similar at a friend's house in South Africa when she was visiting, and decided to make her own version when she got back to the States. So, thanks mom for letting me share this delicious recipe here on ... View the Post
