The End of Summer
Yet another Summer has come and gone. This Summer seemed to go by particularly fast and I think this little guy had a lot to do with that. Even with having a newborn we managed to do a lot this Summer. This past week and over Labor Day weekend we tried to make the most of the last bit of Summer. A friends pool party and birthday snow cones. We finally tried out a new shaved ice stand. One last swim at our local beach club. Lots of time with family. We also booked our family trip for next Summer. Next June our whole family, including my sister and parents,…

I got to meet my best friend’s sweet baby girl, Eliza. She felt so little compared to Jack even though they are only 2 months apart. Three. Last weekend we were so busy, but had a lot of fun. Ben went to two birthday parties, one at Chuck E. Cheese and the other at our local beach club. Four. I re-organized the shelf in our laundry room. Exciting stuff I know. But I feel so much better now that everything has…

Sweet Green Apple Tart
I may be slightly obsessed with The Pioneer Woman. I mean, I’ve always liked her and her recipes are delicious, but lately I can’t get enough. I kind of want to be her, minus having to live on a ranch. Remember the onion straws she inspired me to make? Well, I also happened to make my own version of another one of her recipes, an apple tart. I added and omitted some ingredients to make them my own and since J ate an entire tart by himself, I would say they turned out pretty well. What You Meed: -1 package of puff pastry -3 large Granny Smith apples -1 cup…
