Every New Year’s Eve we hang out with my sister’s in-laws (Alan’s parents) and we ring in the new year at their house. We’ve gone there since I was pregnant with Preston.

Grilled Tilapia with Papaya-Avocado Salsa
This meal is beautiful, delicious, and so good for you! Plus, it is simple, fast, and it only messes up two bowls and a cutting board. You can't get much better than that! I love to cook fish. Salmon is probably my most favorite, but it's not the cheapest fish at the grocery store. This recipe for grilled tilapia won't break the bank and it's one we've enjoyed several … [Read more...] about Grilled Tilapia with Papaya-Avocado Salsa

Her birthday was the first week of school (she goes T/Th mornings), and I took cupcakes to her class. Because I have a July birthday and never got to have a "party" in my class, it makes me so happy to … [Read more...] about Look Whoooo’s 5!
