Personal

So…I’m at a crossroads in my life and I’d like to share it with you. First off, I have decided to go back to school.  For nursing. No, not for culinary school.  Not for Psychology. Not for photography. Not even close, really.  Nursing. Dustin and I have been talking a lot lately about our family, [...]

My parents just visited us for a few days from California. It was really nice to see them and for Jordan and Savannah to spend time with their grandparents. While they were here, we visited the capitol building in downtown Austin. Man, oh man, was it impressive! I thought I’d share some of our pics [...]

So 2011 has come and gone. Um…what?? A recap on our holiday: This was Savannah’s first Christmas and the first year where Jordan actually understood what was going on.  Dustin and I had way too much fun buying gifts for Jordan.  The girl is just so easy to shop for because she loves everything. Her [...]

Happy holidays, from our family to yours! Hard to believe we are celebrating our second Christmas in Texas. Harder to believe Jordan is almost 3 and Savannah is already 8 months old. Even harder to believe Dustin is 30. Inconceivable that I will turn 30 next year. Whoa. Here’s to making warm memories and enjoying [...]

Hey there! I realized I haven’t done a Round-Up in *like* forever, so here it is! I hope you enjoy these posts as much as I have. As always, I found these awesome recipes at dishfolio — if you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re in for a treat! Tracey’s Culinary Adventures is always a [...]

A little bit ago, I was contacted by Hannah at Fat Toad Farm in Vermont regarding her family’s prized caramel made from goat’s milk. Hannah explained their rich and creamy caramel is made right there on the farm with milk from their own herd of dairy goats.   How cool is that?   She offered [...]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday filled with great food, loving family and wonderful memories.  I love this holiday! I thought I’d share an update with you on our home that is being built in Austin.  If all goes well, we will close escrow on December 19th!  This process has [...]

I hope you all had a happy Halloween! Jordan dressed up as a princess this year while Savannah was a little sweet pea.  Super cute. This was the first year Jordan went trick-or-treating. We weren’t sure if “Playful Jordan” or “Timid Jordan” would show up for the trick-or-treating, but she loved it. Surprisingly, Jordan had [...]

If you follow me on facebook or twitter, you probably know the Baier family took a road trip to the East Coast a few weeks ago. Yes.  A Road Trip.  With two little ones under the age of 2 1/2.  I know. It was super fun and very exciting to see so much of the [...]

I’ve been waiting to share the good news until it was more definite… Dustin and I have decided to build a home in Austin! We are very excited. After a long search and quite a few hiccups, our home is now being build. This home should suit our family well for several years to come. [...]
