Life is hard. Being a kid is hard. Being the parent of a busy kid is hard, too. I’m not the parent of a busy kid…well…they’re busy, but not in the sense that I’m talking about. I am meaning busy as in going to school, having after school practice, having tons of homework, and barely …
I love fall. The smells, tastes, and beautiful scenery is awesome to me. I just love fall. I’ve always been a sucker for pumpkin pie and more recently, chocolate chip pumpkin bread. Pumpkins are a very versatile veggie and can be used in a lot of recipes! Yesterday I cooked and pureed a pie …
