We went to our very first cookout of the season tonight. It was lovely. The sun was shining, the kids were running, the beer was cold, and the food was delicious…perfection! I offered to bring dessert, and decided to bring something that was fun for everyone to make and to eat… Fruit Pizza Cookies. This...
I love snapping pictures on the Baker Hunt campus! I love the history, the beautiful buildings and the charm of this art school campus. For more pictures of Baker Hunt & our walks around Covington see this post. Or for pictures from Ella’s last art show click here. Now I’m off to peruse the Baker Hunt...
I am always on the lookout for a delicious (and easy!) slow cooker recipe that makes my whole family smile. This week I hit the jackpot with Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff. I searched online for a recipe, and I found several with just 3 or 4 ingredients. They seemed easy enough, but I questioned how...
Inspired by SouleMama: A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see....

Despite the clouds and rain we managed to squeeze in a...
On Friday we had the opportunity to visit the LEGO KidsFest when it came to town. I can’t tell you how excited my kids were to go! Thank you to the folks at LEGO KidsFest for the tickets for my family, and the tickets they gave me to give away on the blog a few...

I simply cannot convey the proper amount of happiness to you when I write this, but be assured, I’m downright giddy. After 10.5 long hard months my husband has finally completed renovations on our rental property. It was definitely worth doing the work as our hope is that our rental property can become a steady...
We spent some time walking around the department store tonight and found ourselves trying on hats worthy of Easter Mass or the Kentucky Derby…
You all know how much I love to spend time in the kitchen…and so do my kids. Unless we are cleaning the kitchen…that’s another story altogether. Out of all my kids Sam seems to enjoy baking with me the most. At least once a week he comes up with an idea of something we “just...
Happy First Day of Spring to you! How did you celebrate the “official” first day of Spring? Our day included long walks at the Friendship Park, outdoor dining at Keystone Bar and Grill, dancing on rocks, bike riding, open windows, loud music, happy children, ice cream cones at Greaters and a wee bit of splashing in...
