Happy Black Friday! I’m writing to you today from sunny St. Augustine. Have you been? This city is a-ma-zing! The architecture! The history! The restaurants! The allergy awareness. We stopped into an ice-cream shop the other day (Island Ice Cream Cafe) and asked if they had any safe ice-cream. The clerk raised her eyebrows in…
I got my love of baking from my mom. Birthday cakes, Christmas cookies, and of course holiday pies.

In a heartbeat, I went from working productively on an email about the challenges facing teachers today (no lie), to shaking uncontrollably on my couch and fighting back tears as…
My least favorite mom task is making lunches. Everyone tells me I’ll miss it when the kids are all gone, but I doubt it. I hate making lunch in the morning. Luckily, this Buffalo chickpea salad makes it a heck of a lot easier. I won’t go so far as to say I actually like…
