    Easy Cheesy Sausage Quiche

    I love a good quiche, but I’ve avoided making them in the past because they seem so time consuming and hard to make. Luckily this recipe is both delicious and requires little effort.

After playing, we’ll head to the party…

    Jack: 7 Month Update

    Sweet Jack. You are officially over half way to being a one year old. This last month you started doing SO many new things.

    Weekend Recap

    I was determined to make our 3 day weekend productive and I’m proud to say I did just that. This weekend we had crazy weather with sleet and snow as well as temperatures in the 50’s. If you would have told me Friday we would play outside all 3 days this weekend I wouldn’t have believed you considering this was my view on Friday morning. Saturday was our usual weekly grocery shopping. This is just one of the many reasons why I love our local grocery store. How old does Jack have to be before he disqualifies me from the “new mothers” category? Later that afternoon, J and Jack had…
