I've been cooking for one a lot recently and that's something I struggle with sometimes. It's funny to me how sometimes, it's so easy and then other times... not so much.

Good News for this Momma’s heart
Last week, I shared that my DS would be deploying soon but he has found out that he is NOT deploying for now! He is scheduled for a school later this year and it’s just not worth it to send him for just a couple of months, I guess. So, for this momma’s heart, it... Continue Reading →
Cinderella, Breakfast Tacos, and more
This weekend I took my mom to see DD’s performance in Cinderella. It was wonderful and of course, she was beautiful. She amazes me every day. Her bravery, her talent, her determination. I ask myself all the time, “How did YOU raise kids like this?” They are both just amazing people.She didn’t have a lot... Continue Reading →
Zucchini Bread
In my post Wednesday, I mentioned that I was going to make some zucchini bread, and I actually did AND… It was pretty good. It’s an old recipe I found 2006 from a blogger friend, Ask The Helpful Housewife, aka Leanne Roman. I don’t think she blogs much anymore but I did find the old post... Continue Reading →
