Midweek Minis

It's Wednesday. The weekend feels so close yet still so far away. It's that awkward post-nap, pre-dinner time of day.

We have all been down the ‘big decision’ road.  We all know those sleepless nights where the pro’s and con’s list dances through our head leaving us overwhelmed and exhausted.  These decisions pop up often in our lives and we keep our fingers crossed that what we decide in the end will be the right [...]

A couple of weeks ago Rocky Mountain Flatbread Co. hosted a bunch of us bloggers and our kidlets for a morning of cooking fun.  I was especially excited about this opportunity, because cooking with Portia is something I don’t do a lot of and I knew she would love it! We spent the morning making [...]
