Any recollection of this Brady Bunch episode where Peter is obsessed with imitating other people? His Humphrey Bogart rocked. Pork chaaapssh and applesaush. And isn’t it so normal how Carol greets Mike at the door so charismatically with that dress and heels on? That’s EXACTLY what it’s like when my husband gets home from work. Minus the dress and plus some sweatpants. Minus the heels and plus bare feet. And plus screaming kids climbing on me. And usually, hair that’s made it through half of the day but has retired to a top knot because food has somehow nestled it’s way into every strand. But other than that, it’s the EXACT same.

Mexican Pot Roast Tacos with Cabbage Slaw
2015. Say it out loud, it just sounds weird. 2015. Although it took literally one second to turn from 2014 to 2015 the sound of our new year makes me feel like we’ve taken a ten year leap forward. 2015? It sounds like the Jetsons could be living next door. Does it seem a lot more drastic than 2014 to you? 2015. It screams futuristic and I am unsure of how we have gotten here. Quite honestly it makes me feel like I should throw all my Apple products and remote controls out the window, revert to a trustee old pen, paper(and my brain) and pretend like time is not going as quickly as it is. I need babies to stay babies around here. Toddlers to remain toddlers. Whats that they say? The days are long but the years are short? My gosh it is so very true. 2014 seemed like it was 10 minutes long. So next time I am complaining that I can’t wait for my husband to get home…or that I can’t wait for the weekend…or that Im tired….or need some quiet time…please remind me of how very short the years are. That Ill probably never get the cuddles back. Or the tantrums. Or the most genuine, innocent I love you, mommy’s. This new year has begun with so much gratitude around here. Another healthy, heart-beaming, wonderful year has been had and it’s been such a blessing to share it with all of you. Heres to wishing you a truly incredible 2015, friends! Continue reading
Grilled Buffalo Wings
Can you believe this weather?? THIS is why I chose Minnesota. Can you please remind me of this in late January? Its amazing outside and we’ve been taking full advantage of this very rare weather. Parks, walks and trying to get in every ounce of grilling that we can while it lasts and these wings made the list. To. Die. For. And THESE are why my husband married me. Can you please remind him of this next time I’m “nagging”?
Im sort of obsessed when it comes to buffalo wings, as many of you know. I love them. I mean, put wing sauce on anything and Im drop to the ground, head over heels smitten. But put them on a grilled chicken wing? That has crispy skin AND a chargrilled smokey flavor? Good Lord, people. Continue reading
