Pork chops are a staple at our house for a lot of reasons. First, and most importantly, we all think they are delicious – especially Ellie. But, they have two other attributes that put them in regular rotation at our house – they are inexpensive and cook quickly. When it comes to making pork chops,…
This year, we took Ellie apple picking. It is one of my favorite activities to do as a family. We can’t make it every year, but when we do, it’s always delightful. In late September, I went with Keegan on a work trip to Santa Barbara. It was my first time there, and I fell…
Over the last few years, I’ve slowly come to the realization that fall is a lie. Instead of holing up inside, covered in cozy blankets with cups of cider, I am, instead, flinging myself across Kansas City at a break neck pace. Sure, the activities are fun, but it’s never what I imagine or expect…

This cruelty free, paraben free and vegan product will also help your foundation last longer. See what I mean?…
This four ingredient entree is the answer to busy weeknight meals. It’s ready in under 10 minutes and tastes fantastic. It’s also healthy, but we won’t tell anyone about that. The last several times I made this I roasted carrots and potatoes together, but if you’re in a hurry, I’d open a bag of frozen…
T.V. may not be the most exciting hobby, but it’s one of mine. So, every year, despite the decline of cable programming, I look forward to seeing which new shows look promising and the favorites that are returning.
