I can't believe I haven't blogged the 4th of July, everyone's favorite holiday! We had a jam-packed 4th this year and hit basically the entire state. Not really but we did have a blast.
Cutest little house, take 2
16 November 2024
If you've been around for any length of time, you know one of my very favorite projects was the girls little playhouse, you can check it out here. My "COVID" project. Sadly, that sweet little house got blown away in the tornado. So here we are.. with a new, modern little house for the girls. Complete with a new street number to reflect our new address.

Kate turned SEVEN! And she's so fun and easy to celebrate. Our sweet little girl is so precious and kind. It's always fun to see her be in the spotlight!
20 year reunion

I had my TWENTY year class reunion last month in El Dorado. It was a great time catching up with lifelong friends! I enjoyed taking the girls for a little fun in town too. So much packed into about 24 hours!
Shrimp Ceviche Verde
13 November 2024
Another grand slam! LOVED this one! So light and fresh. I feel like most of Rick's recipes are this way. And yes, it's mexican but doesn't feel like it at the same time. If you haven't bought his cookbook, MEXICAN EVERYDAY, you really need it.
Emily’s 1st Field Trip
12 November 2024
Emily finally had her first field trip! She was suppose to go to the pumpkin patch last year but LRSD stopped allowing PreK kids on buses a couple weeks before! So happy she got to go this year and that I was able to join!
Snapper with Toasty Garlic Mojo
11 November 2024
This was simply delightful. It was light and fresh and really perfect. We talk about it often. And it was really so easy! I say that, Brian was the chef on this one. I just got the amazing benefit of a wonderful dish.
Josh’s hibachi birthday!
10 November 2024
Back in August, we went to Benihana for Josh's birthday and everyone had a blast. I got pictures of all of the kids but none of the birthday boy.
Butter-Stewed Radishes
09 November 2024
This is one of those things that just happened and it was the most pleasant side dish in the world. And my love for radishes just exploded and I want these again and again and again and again.
Fall Soccer 2024
08 November 2024
Soccer was a hit this year! We finally all ended up at the same location.. even on the same team! The girls had a blast and played so well. They improved all year and we're looking forward to the spring!
