Relaxing time spent with friends. Isn’t that what great summer weekends are all about?
Things will definitely be looking up
Bah. This week wasn’t at all what I wanted it to be. I wanted to relax and take some time for myself. Instead I had endless appointments and lines to wait in. I know. Complaining doesn’t help. It’s just that I feel like a little black cloud has been following […]
Yummo
Do you ever forget how clever you’ve been? I made these without-a-campfire s’mores last year and completely forgot about the deliciousness. What’s summer without this type of decadence?

Blueberry Raspberry Galette
Yet another dish that my child didn’t appreciate. I hope he grows some better tastebuds soon!
The boy and the ballpark
Whitecaps vs. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Obstacle course. Playing catch with Dad. Hotdogs. Peanuts. Four spoonfuls of dipping dots. Three wails about how he just had to have cotton candy. Two bites of cotton candy the people sitting next to us offered when their little guy didn’t like it. Five minutes […]
