Three years ago, I experienced it all. With a December 28th due date, I ate my fill at Thanksgiving, enjoyed all the pre-Christmas festivities, and …

The other day my husband told me that “quiche” was a grandma food. I honestly don’t know what he is talking about because quiche and frittata (a crustless quiche) just so happens to be one of my favorite breakfast options. And I’m only 32! I tend to keep the same basic egg mixture when I …

My four year old (yes, FOUR) lost her first tooth a few weeks ago so we recently had a visit to our house from the Tooth Fairy. Since my kid is on the younger side for loosing her baby teeth, I wasn’t prepared for this! I had only one day from the time she told …
