About ME

Wife. Mom of 2. Diet Coke enthusiast. Runner. Baker. Bad joke maker.

If I had to summarize myself quickly, those are the things I would list. The things that make me, the most me, are being a wife and most of all, a mother. What helps me survive being a wife and mother is my love (ok, addiction) to Diet Coke. I run to relieve my stress and finally get out of the house. I bake because I run.

I have 2 beautiful boys. Of all the parts I possess, they are my favorite.

Before I became a full time mom, I worked for an oral surgeon assisting in surgery for six years. My love for the health care field is strong. In another life I would have been a nurse…but the babies called! Some days I ache to be inside of the operating room again; being able to smell the latex against my palms and hear the sound of the suction tube working. Nostalgia guys, it’s a real thing. Then the smell of fresh baked pumpkin chocolate chip cookies smacks me in my face and I realize that being a mom is my first priority. Like I said…in another life.

Writing is a passion of mine. It’s funny really, because I never was very good at it. I use incorrect spelling (I’m sure), and most certainly run-on sentences, but something about writing down even the smallest details or even the mediocre recipes helps me stay true to me.

I like to share my favorite recipes, all of which are easy. Cakes, cookies, pastas, bread and HEY, even baby food recipes. Honestly, have you ever tried store-bought baby food?! If I ever ran out of brownies at my house, I would have no problem gobbling up one of my baby food recipes. Delicious!

I hope to help bring good food to your table, maybe some #momfails, and mostly some comfort in knowing you’re not alone.

Welcome to my little corner of the web. Thanks for joining, I hope you stay a while.
