Day Dates

October 3, 2014

The other day we went on a double date with friends to the 49er game. We are so busy with three kiddos that dates tend to slip by us much too often. We’ve be trying to get creative on our dates since Saturday nights are typically booked, Friday nights our kids have sports, and weekdays […]

The Best Granola

September 16, 2014

I have written about this amazingly delicious and simple granola before. It is a staple in our pantry. My middle daughter loves to cook and this is sort of her thing.

Inspiration | Cooks to Follow

September 10, 2014

This summer I dove into a few new cookbooks (and one I can hardly wait for) that have me inspired in the kitchen lately.

Tam, Santa Cruz Mountains, Desolation Wilderness, Pacific Crest Trail, The Grand Canyon, Sedona and State Parks all over Northern California. We start the kids as soon as they can be in a front carrier, transition them […]
