Football Season is over. Now what do we do with ourselves? It is so true….every year the week after the SuperBowl, we find ourselves a little sad and empty. We are such a Football family. We just can’t imagine what we will do without having a game to watch. Then we realize, all those chores…
Inspiration from my Kids
Panko Meatballs in Ponzu Sauce
I thought I had prepared my list and had everything checked off when my daughter left for college. I was tapping myself on the back thinking I had sent her with everything she needed. She made it through her first semester without calling home in a panic that she was missing something! Well, now in…
Nurtured by a Love for Food Around the Family Table
Life Experiences may change us, but it starts and ends with Family… Most of you will recall I started my blog the day after my oldest left for college. Although we have had 18 years to prepare for this day, I don’t think that any Mother is ever truly prepared for the day they drop…

Do you love to bake or cook? Inspired by @hersheyskisses #cookiehq I baked Cookies for Santa

They give selflessly and no matter what we do, it just doesn’t seem enough. This question is not so difficult in the younger years…

I Am Thankful For My Old Shoes
I have always said, “Old Friends are like Old Shoes.” We spent Thanksgiving Day with two families that we have been friends with for over 16 years. Like old shoes, they are so comfortable. There is no break in period, they fit just right. As I looked Around the Family Table of 20, it wasn’t…

Chicken Peppers and Onions #SundaySupper was a Victory
Riley is our youngest Son. He was born in July and went to his first Football Game before he was even a month old. Needless to say, he has literally grown up on the Football Field. It’s not hard to believe that his passion is Football. When he was only in Kindergarten, he told me,…
