Hello friends! As is usually the case, I ended up taking a much longer break from blogging than I had initially anticipated. Life has been crazy busy. Yes, even busier than usual. I’ve made a change in my work schedule that has taken time for us to get used to as a family. It’s…

Stitch Fix Review #2
Hi there friends! Hope that you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. Our day was lovely and full of relaxation. Just what this momma wants! Today I wanted to share another Stitch Fix Box with you. My last post was so popular that I intend to make this a monthly contribution. In case you aren’t familiar with…
Big Fork Bacon Sausage
When I was invited to the Big Fork Brands Blogger Breakfast I was thrilled. Enjoying a delicious breakfast that I didn’t have to prepare and the chance to connect with other bloggers was worth the drive to the city. As I began to research Big Fork Brands Bacon Sausage my enthusiasm grew. It’s sausage made…
Home From Haiti
Hi there friends! I’m so glad to be back after my trip to Haiti. As always, I had big plans to write posts to auto publish while I was away but time with Currey and the kids took priority. Thanks for understanding. I’ve got to tell you, after experiencing all I saw in Haiti, it’s…
DIY Light Box
Have you noticed that the pictures on the blog have changed? Day light savings time really did me in when it came to taking pictures for the blog. Where we live, it begins getting dark around 4:30 so I had to have our meals prepped and ready for pictures around 4. As a family, this…

Why I Started a Blog
I’m taking a quick break from recipes today to just talk about blogging. I seem to get so many questions about why I started a blog or how to start a blog. Since I’m so often asked, I thought it would be worth sharing the journey of the blog up until this point. It’s hard…
Kids in the Kitchen
I am frequently asked about what my kids do while I cook so I thought I’d take time to chat with y’all about it. Like most moms, I spend lots of time in the kitchen. Our reality is that Currey is usually home while I’m cooking dinner so he hangs out with the kids while I…
Merry Christmas
We’ve enjoyed a lovely morning just the 4 of us. We devoured this Baked French Toast as has been our tradition for the last 3 years. I’m baking pies, rolls and bundles of green beans to take over to our friends house for Christmas Lunch. A simple day of celebrating and eating fantastic food! Praying…
365 New Recipes in 365 Days
My name is JJ and this blog is a dream that began when I was 34 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I shared my crazy idea with my precious husband and to my disbelief he thought it was a great idea. (Ok, so him being my biggest cheerleader isn’t that surprising at all.) And…
