Once again, I have so much catching up to do here! These are busy times, for sure. The day Sam turned nine months old, March 6th, I was in the middle of a 5-day stretch off work. Woo hoo!! Sam was feeding himself: We went to The Children’s Gym with friends. Now I’m thinking about… Continue reading March 2017, Sam at 9 Months Old

Since I stopped eating meat (except fish) and I’m more health conscious, I’ve been trying… Continue reading My Favorite Homemade Tomato Sauce
