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. [...]

Happy Saturday, everyone! For this beautiful weekend, please enjoy some great posts from around the food blog world. Creamy Polenta Topped with Truffled Mushrooms by Beth Michelle.  This looks so incredibly yummy and comforting.  Polenta is often forgotten in our pantries, but this recipe and (and the photos!) make me want to run and cook [...]

In one of her recent comments on my blog, Jeanne, a fellow blogger and *dare I say* friend of mine who runs the blog, Inside NanaBread’s Head, requested an update on Savannah, our new lil’ bundle of joy. NanaBread, here you go! It’s funny, now, to even think of Savannah as a new addition to [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen… She’s finally here. And, when I say, “she,” I really mean, “it.” Or, do I?

She was a gift from Dustin for all my hard work and tender loving [...]

Welcome to my latest Weekend Round-Up! I hope you are enjoying your weekend and staying cool from the heat. For those of you who aren’t familiar with my Weekend Round-Up posts, once a month or so, I post links to some of my favorite food blogs. I choose the links based on a particular blogger’s [...]

We recently took a quick weekend trip to California to attend my friend, Carmen’s, wedding.  During our trip, we stayed in my hometown, Ojai.  Between all the racing around to visit with family and friends, we had a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery.  I thought I’d share it with you.   Enjoy! ————————————————————–As always, [...]
