Lessons Learned
I was thinking over the weekend of a few key things I have learned recently. Sunday’s church service had a ton to do with that as he spoke on things such as entitlement and being present in what you are doing. This of course became relatable to not only my work life but my family life and I want to share a few with you. Comparison: Be it in my family life or work life I have learned to stop comparing. What kind of mama am I in comparison to..? How is my blog in comparison? Maybe if I just do this the way Sally with 1MM followers does…
Skillet Black Eyed Pea Casserole
Another must try! Next time I make it I will season my ground beef & add minced garlic to the veggie mix. My cornbread was also a touch too dark but chasing a toddler around the house makes you forget to check the oven. Was a hit however and leftovers were gobbled up quickly!
Whole Wheat Honey & Banana Pancakes
Pancakes! What is there not to like? Bread like goodness with syrup! I have learned however, there is an art to making the perfect pancake and while I am not at perfection level by any means, I have discovered a few key points and created a fantastic recipe for tasty, fluffy pancakes! Anatomy of a Pancake (Written by Rick Martinez on Bonappetit) Flour and liquid create the structure in any dough. Mixing the two together develops gluten, the protein that gives elasticity to dough.

Have Baby Will Travel III
Hey y’all! I know it has been a while since I have written anything but we had a death in the family and I had to travel to North Carolina. It has been hectic to say the least but I am back home now and can play catch-up. So last time I wrote about traveling with Cooper he was tiny yet and I was able to use our Bob stroller as well as his Britax carrier car seat. Well he isn’t lil anymore so things changed. It was only he and myself traveling so I had to get a wee bit creative with luggage, car seats etc. I am no…

I am guilty as most of us are and this morning I had my wake-up call that got me thinking. I start my day’s normally at 6:00am when my expensive alarm clock, Cooper, goes off. I get up, change him, and we set out to the kitchen to make our “coffee”. I let the pups out and give…
