Homemade Chicken Caesar Salad

We started making homemade caesar dressing a few months back and now we can't stop. It's so good. And the salad just makes the perfect, delicious meal. I finally watched Brian every step of the way so I could blog the recipe. Usually I'm in the chicken cook so I never really knew what was going on! We even took step-by-step pictures.

Emily - Month 7

I'm going to count this as a major mom win-- especially with the 2nd baby-- but this is the first (and only) month I didn't take Emily's monthly picture. I just forgot on the 22nd. And then remembered on the 24th and planned to take it and then I forgot again. So instead this month, your preview picture is going to be the one above of our sweet little girls face, in her adorable little kitty hat. I seriously love this picture of our babe.

New York - The Things

Welcome to New York! We had such a great long weekend in NYC a couple months ago. This was our first trip sans babies and it was a lot of fun hanging out together. Our trip was way more relaxing than the last trip we took to the big city. I already posted my blog on all the amazing food we ate and now I'm back to talk about everything else.

Christmas in Wynne 2019

I'm back with Christmas Part II. We left El Dorado, stopped in Little Rock for about 15 minutes to drop, pick-up, re-pack and head out. We had a blast in Wynne with Brian's whole family. We ate lots of good food and had some quality time together.

Hale Christmas 2019

I was working on a post from Emily's baptism and realized that I never posted about Christmas! And we took so many pictures and had so much fun! Kate really was in to Christmas this year which made it that much more fun! And we learned that Emily is real go-getter and LOVES opening presents!!

Charcuterie Board

I LOVE Charcuterie. Brian and I often make boards for lunch on the weekends. When we were younger, AKA had no kids, we'd do it more often. In the past few years, boards have really taken off. We order them when we go out and always love the meats and cheeses and extras. 

So this year at Johnston Christmas, they planned to have charcuterie for a meal. My mother in law bought all the meat and cheese from Costco and they had so much meat. and so much cheese. I dreamed of putting it together as pretty as possible and tried my very hardest. My first attempt! I have aspirations to try again really soon :) 

Bison Burgers Are The Bomb

But for real, they really are the bomb. I know when people hear bison, they think it's going to be gross and gamey. But it's really not! It's delish. And a healthier alternative to beef.

I'm a Harvard Alum Now, No Big Deal

I took my first solo trip after babies last month to Boston. HELLO anxiety! The trip started off with snow and flight delays and all I could think was WHY AM I DOING THIS?! Luckily, it ended up being OK and I had a good week with some of my favorite delta leaders.
