Breaking away from the day to day
Since this is the season of all things pumpkin, it’s only right that I share a recipe for Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting! (Everything tastes good with cream cheese frosting…) This is a simple recipe that you can make with the kiddos to celebrate the season of pumpkin. It’s almost like a deconstructed Pumpkin…
Disclaimer: Although my kids are truly fans of Farm Rich, I was compensated for this post. Keep in mind, all opinions are my own. My family’s schedule, like so many other families, is jam packed in the afternoons. We are constantly rushing around making sure that all homework is completed, reading is done, chores…
We are quickly approaching the end of summer. The end of long days, hot nights and sleeping in. Since we are getting ready for school to start again, I want to celebrate the end of lazy days and hello to getting my schedule back! (Have I mentioned that I can’t stand chaos and NEED my…
This summer I have let myself go. I haven’t worked out, I’ve eaten everything in sight, and I’ve laid around most of the time when I wasn’t working. This sloth-like quality has taken a toll on my “bottom line.” In plain English, my butt has gotten really big! The problem is….I LOVE FOOD! One of…
Tonight is another one of those busy nights! (They’re all pretty busy really!) I have meetings all day, then it’s off to pick up the boys from school, hurry home, do homework, rush to a baseball game & pack our bags for a morning flight. Oh yeah, and try to get some sleep in there…

Eating healthy is something that is REALLY hard for me to do! I try. I really do. But somehow the Cheetos and Swiss Cake Rolls in the pantry end up calling my name. It’s a sad little whimper really. I feel bad leaving them all alone, so I eat them. In an effort to not…
Growing up in Tennessee (have I ever told you that?), cobblers and crisps were staples at the end of meals. We had everything from fresh blackberries that we would pick from the bushes outside or with peaches that came fresh from Georgia. Ah…the sweet, sweet smell & taste of the fruity, sugary goodness of a…
With all this crazy heat in Miami, we are always looking for ANYTHING that will keep us cool. When I was a kid, Fudgesicles were the way to go! That ice cold creamy chocolate treat would make me so happy!! The boys and I decided to make a version of our own. Enter Oreo Pudding…
The weather outside is HOT and sticky. Ice cream is the perfect treat to help cool down and forget about the heat. I recently shared a quick recipe for homemade ice cream sandwiches but wanted to do something a bit bigger to satisfy a whole crowd. Spending countless hours perusing Pinterest like so many…
