15 years…I can’t believe it’s been that long ago since Matt graduated from high school! Of course, I didn’t even know him, as he hadn’t found me yet. Yep, this weekend was his class reunion. Even though I didn’t go to the same high school or graduate the same year, we did still grow up [...]

Today, Heather and I got together for what has become an annual ritual…making homemade applesauce by the gallon.
Heather’s done this for years with her mom and grandma, and for the last 6 or 7 years, she’s invited me to make some with her. We always use Lodi apples, which are kind of hard to [...]

Today is my childhood friend (and now, blogger friend) Suzanne’s 30th birthday!
In celebration, I dug out a couple of pictures at my mom and dad’s house to share…
Here we have Suzanne, Sonya, and me…I think Sonya looks especially cute in this one!
This is my 5th birthday, and Suzanne is right next to me. The boy [...]

Tonight I had the chance to go out with some girls from church to a great restaurant and a movie. We had such a good time! This was TWICE IN ONE WEEK that I got to go out for dinner, and both times to restaurants I’d never been to! And, Matt and I got to [...]

This morning we had our friends The Greenes over to play. Ryder and Bennett took off for the basement and the trains immediately, and they played perfectly together all morning! They’re both being potty trained right now, so it was the perfect time for them to have a playdate together. And nice for me to [...]

If you want the best guacamole E.V.E.R. go to The Pioneer Woman Cooks website. I made this yesterday and I seriously could have eaten the entire bowl myself. And sadly, since guac only lasts a day or so, it almost forces you to eat foolish quantities. Anyway, you won’t be sorry you made this. And [...]

He has completely surprised me with this task…I pictured it just being a nightmare. However, on the first couple of days of potty training, I would set the timer on the microwave so it wasn’t ME telling him to go use the potty; the timer did it for me. Literally the second day of potty [...]

It feels like forever since I’ve written! Here are a few highlights from the weekend:
*My little cupcake turkeys didn’t all turn out as great as the picture. Still a fun project, though. The first batch I made was better than the second.
*We got to see our good friends, K & S, who live in Indy, this [...]

Matt and I got to go out last night! We had a great time, and thanks to Hayley being at our house to watch the boys, we could relax and not worry about them.
We started the evening by having dinner at Simply Fondue downtown in the loft district. It’s exactly like the Melting Pot if [...]
