The creative cooking escape of a busy mama in Army Boots.
Maybe it's because Scott and I have spent so much of our lives all over the place, and before moving to Virginia we lived in a different state what seemed like every year. Maybe it's because that's the norm for so many of our friends in the military, and in the private sector as well [...]
My parents are early adopters. They're always ahead of the curve. A new piece of tech comes out, they have it. A new trend shows up on social media, they're already aware of it. They were on social media before I was, had smart phones before I did, and have been using Uber and AirBnB [...]
I'm so happy that our lovely friend Susan could do our family photos again this year! I'm every bit as much in love with them as I am our son's newborn photos and our family photos from last year. We wandered out along the walking paths at Liberty Lorton, the recently refurbished and repurposed reformatory [...]
This is my kid...but you guys, this totally is my kid. Look at the joy. The pure, undiluted joy on his face as he tears into his smash cake like a ravenous little velociraptor. More than the blonde hair and the blue eyes and the skin that I won't let outside without a thousand layers of baby [...]
You guys, it's July. I had my son last year at the end of July. He is almost a year old. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how that happened, about how that little wiggling sensation in the pit of my stomach is now a fuzzy-headed happily jabbering constantly-growing eating machine that occupies a [...]
There are many foods I will always find room for, no matter how much I've been eating or hosting. Deviled eggs are probably at the top of the list. We had a busy Memorial Day weekend, hosting friends and family for visits with us {okay, to be fair, most people just wanted to check on [...]
The past week has been one of the most gray-hair inducing of my life. We've all been coughing and hacking since what feels like January. As soon as one of us feels better, someone else goes down with a cold. So when little man started coughing and hacking again, we initially chalked it up to [...]
Oh, hey guys! How've you been? Things have been quieter around On the Home Front this month. Partly because I've been swept away by the craze of work {remember that workaholic tendency I've talked about?}. And I've also started a professional site {recently launched - if you're interested in data and stats and me saying [...]
Just stop, you guys. How cute is this kid? This mama's heart is about to explode.My little man got his first pictures taken at Baby School (a.k.a. daycare) and this is probably just the first of many purchases I will make from LifeTouch. I remember them coming to my school and suffering through a host of different [...]
Seven months of Baby Bean! My baby is still a baby, but yet not much of a baby anymore. Every once in a while I look at him and wonder, where did my baby go and who left this little boy here? Somehow, at gatherings, at daycare, wherever, we have become the experienced parents. We [...]
