I’m typing this on a quiet Sunday morning and it is already the 28th of January! I had hoped to sleep in today but sometimes the stars don’t align. Our dog likes to go outside around 4:30 each morning and it can be a struggle to fall back asleep once I let him out. Anyone have any…

Our littlest is still sleeping on this quiet Saturday morning while I type, so my mind likes to keep thinking and dreaming about food. I love mornings with the Christmas tree all lit up and pretty in the background. Yay for Christmas! Monday, December 11th – Chicken Tortilla Soup I love soup and tortilla soup is one…
