Oh hey! I do still have a blog. Time has gotten away from us. We've been busy living life and going through the motions of each day. Those days have included graduating from grad school (me-Tanisha) and Jim plugging away at his MBA. In addition Esther has been blossoming right before our very eyes. She …
Happy Mother’s Day
Before I became a Mom, I slept all night. The type of sleep I’d imagine bears experience while hibernating all winter long. I could place my head on a pillow and leave all my worries on the nightstand to (maybe) be dealt with the next day. Before I became a Mom, I had an expendable income. …
You Put What, Where?
I don't get much free time to read magazines these days, but when I can go hide from Esther in my closet sneak away, I like to read Real Simple. I love their New Uses for Old Things. Genius ideas!

The Kitchen Workhorse
This is something that Tanisha brought in the marriage and I'm so happy that she did. This guy works harder than anyone in our house. Seriously. He's the best. It's the 12-inch cast iron skillet from Lodge Logic. I make 90% of our meals with this skillet. You can use for anything and everything, from making …
Happy 2nd Anniversary!

During the day we recap things that we have said to either our baby and our dog, then make each other guess which one the sentence was directed towards.Today's sentence is:"Don't lick my toes."Please …
