I’m getting soft in my old age. Earlier this week, I was spouting off about things being hard and today it’s the total opposite. Hard, soft, limp, firm…hmm, if I didn’t know any better, I’d think I wasn’t getting any… oh wait. Damn kids; or singular, but who’s counting. Aside from shattering my monkey loving…
Ooey Gooey Good Magic Layer Bars
Kids are hard, and I don’t mean literally. Truth be told, they’re rather squishy and malleable. It’s a good thing too or else my baby would never be clothed. Have you ever tried to manipulate a chubby little hand and the attached appendage through a long sleeve onesie, while said human is moving and sometimes…
Week in Review: The Ave Takeover Edition (#52)
Get your pads and pens ready because it’s time for the Week In Review. The Week In Review is a list, in its purest form, not of the things you still need to do, but of all the things you have done in the last seven days. It’s an achievement list, an ode to yourself, a celebration of…
Eight Must Have Vegetarian Soup Recipes
I’m not a very good blogger. Yeah sure I can lay down beats in my own off key way. Just ask the baby; we sing all the time, not very well mind you although she’s not complaining. Granted she can’t really talk yet, so there’s that. I’ve been known to make a mean muffin too,…

Currently: September 2016
Another month and here I am slipping in a Currently post last minute. What can I say? Procrastination is my style, or maybe I just work better under pressure. Whatever the case may be, I’m just gonna leave this post right here and back away slowly. Current Book: John Irving’s Avenue of Mysteries. I don’t…
Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
Today I’d like to tell a story. And share some Oatmeal Raisin Muffins, but let’s not put the cart before the horse. It is a tale of treachery and mayhem on the open road. Let me set the scene. It was Monday, in the middle of the afternoon. The sky was blue, the sun was…

I Love My Kid, But…
I would like to have my cake and eat it too. I mean in the proverbial sense, although I certainly wouldn’t turn down baked goods, especially the frosted ones with a smattering of fruit. There’s a misconception that missing things from your former, child free life, somehow makes you a bad parent for not appreciating…
WIAW: The Hardly Cooking Edition
I barely cook these days. Pretty strange for a food blogger huh? What can I say? Having a tiny human will do that to you. Instead of fancy gourmet meals, pretending I actually used to make those, I try to make sure my edibles are fast, easy, and tasty. Oh and they also need to…
