Recipe: Pesto Salmon

There are not many things I love more than a fresh pesto! It's so delish. I made this quick and easy pesto salmon, orzo cooked in chicken broth and roasted asparagus and it was delightful! I cooked the salmon in the air fryer with PESTO on top, added some fresh pesto on top after it cooked with a sprinkle of parm. XOXO. 

 

Hello Holiday Season! Elf at the Robinson

We're officially entering holiday season!! Thought we would never get here. I have so many holiday posts. We're going to start with Elf at the Robinson. This year we bought season passes for the family to attend all the shows at the Robinson. I'm so glad we did.  It's been so fun!! We started with one that Brian and I went to and took some friends-- I don't even remember what it was called. I didn't care for it and fell asleep. Then Mrs. Doubtfire, which the girls LOVED! And now Elf.

Christmas Gifts: Homemade Vanilla

I was gifted one of these little vanilla's a few years ago and I've said ever since that I was going to make them. And finally this year, I did! I love that it's the gift that keeps giving. Once you run out, refill with vodka and keep going. I'm still using the original one gifted to me.

Trip to Chili's

There is absolutely no reason for this post except that our kids love chili and when they found out there is a place to eat called Chili's they have wanted to go for a very long time. We've told them over and over again that they don't actually serve chili but they were still dead set on going. So we finally did one weekend. We got to NWA early and were going to see my grandma so we stopped in Fayetteville and grabbed lunch at Chili's. They loved it! And it actually wasn't terrible. Who doesn't love that triple combo app they have?! And the cheese dip?! It's an institution. :) Also, peep the glasses. Pet vet still in full force.

I did a really terrible job of documenting Halloween this year. I took a few pictures during the week so I guess that will have to work. The girls always have spirit week at school so we don't have to come up with one costume but FIVE! Fun :)

Emmy's Broken Arm

My little baby broke her arm! She's been on this "upset stomach" kick at school so when I saw the nurse call at 9ish, I thought.. you've got to be kidding me, already?! Luckily I answered and I heard the panic in Nurse Pam's voice. She's so precious. She apologized for calling then said I think you need to head this way, sweet Emmy fell off the monkey bars and she might need x-rays.

Kate Turned EIGHT!

My baby turned EIGHT!! She's all things sweet and precious and we love her to pieces! I actually had to be out of town for work on her birthday so Brian brought the girls up to Rogers the day before her birthday so we could spend some time together. It also was nice to have him tag along with me some and the girls got plenty of time with family!

Fall Family Photos 2025

Having flashbacks to when Emily refused to take photos like three years ago. I was so mad at the time but now I look back at this sweet picture of her sucking her thumb and holding baby billy.. it's probably one of my favorite photos of all time. This time she was just plain difficult. I hope I look back on these with fond memories.. someday.

Labor Day 2025

Labor Day is always so fun! It's the end of the summer and time that I completely shift to September events-- birthday, anniversary and all things fall! We start making pumpkin bread and lighting leaves candles. I love it! I especially love that last September lake trip. It's a little cooler (most times) and sunset cruises and so perfect.
