A favorite recipe of mine while growing up was the infamous “Taco Rice Skillet.” I don’t know if it’s my general love of Mexican food or what, but this dish STILL hits the spot. While it isn’t one of the super easy crockpot meals over which I’ve been swooning as of late (did you see the… Continue reading Easy Comfort Food: Taco Rice Skillet Recipe
Many have asked us what presents we got our daughter (age 19 months) for Christmas this year (well, 2016 anyway). Honestly, we got her nothing. Zilch. Zip. Nada.

This week’s #SillySongSunday features a song that my mother and grandmother would sing to me. And now I have the pleasure of singing to my own daughter. It’s another lullaby, of sorts. Tiddly winky, winky, winky Tiddly winky woo. I love you. Tiddly winky, winky, winky Tiddly winko woo. Love me too. I love you… Continue reading Silly Song Sunday | Tiddly Winky
I’ve heard recently from several soon-to-be parents that they are worried about life being over once their little one arrives.
