We are in the midst of what’s been dubbed, “Snowpacolypse”. We really aren’t expected to get much snow, mostly ice.  But in Arkansas, this is a BIG DEAL — all CAPITAL LETTERS. People are fighting over bread and milk at the local Walmarts.  This....

I don’t know if you know this or not, but my husband is six years older than me. For most of our relationship, I haven’t noticed the six year difference.  I’m an old soul and plus, we don’t talk about age a whole lot because that is just a weird thing to...

Want to know the best thing ever? When your husband comes home and watches the baby while you cook dinner and almost dies from exhaustion. Seriously — THE.  BEST. Not that I want him to actually DIE from exhaustion, of course. But a healthy brush with death via infant...

So I have decided that this is how I’m eating all my fruit from now on. Can’t it be a thing?  Fruit covered in caramel, chocolate, and toasted coconut? Fruit is fruit, people.  It still counts. An apple a day and all that.  Pretty sure it doesn’t go “an...

I have decided that people who don’t have babies who need naps can be surprisingly smug. It’s like they forget where they came from, honestly. They’re all, “wanna do lunch?” and I’m all, “Cantsies, the baby naps at 11:30″ and I...

It probably won’t surprise you to know that I am well versed in snack cakes. Hostess, Little Debbies, there are hardly any that I haven’t tried or tried to make myself. Except for Tastykake – those haven’t been carried in my grocery store (grocery store...

I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of cake. Huge. I mean… foam finger waving, jumping up and down, HUGE.  GIANT.  FAN. (And by foam finger, I don’t mean the Miley kind, gross.  I mean a wholesome, #1 Cake Fan foam finger that has lived a perfectly...

I am SO excited about today’s post — today, along with many other bloggers, I am celebrating a baby.  Hooray!! My friend Amber is expecting a baby boy very soon — a baby she desperately wanted after struggling with infertility.  I am over the MOON thrilled for...

You know you’re getting old when you start adding nuts to your desserts for no good reason. The other day I was all, “hmmm…these chocolate chip cookies could use some toasted pecans”. That’s when I knew that I was a for real adult.  Because no fake...

So, I’m hopping on a plane and heading to Austin this week with Lucy. I can tell you right now that packing is NO picnic. OMG ALLLLLLLLLLL THE THINGGGGGGS. I already know that the measly weight limit isn’t happening.  It’s not, y’all, and I don’t...

I have recently discovered that when a person is tired (and by tired, I mean literally EXHAUSTED), every emotion is heightened by infinity. Anger turns into rage. Annoyance turns into hatred. Frustration turns into drop kicking life on it’s face. Sadness turns into...

I have decided that there is a certain point during pregnancy where a woman just shouldn’t interact with any human besides a doctor. Like maybe around the 36 weekish mark. What I am trying to say is, at 37 1/2 weeks,  I kind of strongly dislike people right now. I know I...
