My family is full of history nuts. Probably because we were instilled with a love for it when we were very little. Anywhere we lived, we'd be taking road trips to any historical site possible. Lighthouses to battlefields to national parks, we've definitely seen it all. Don't even get me started with when my parents were living in Germany. This picture comes to...

I was honestly surprised when Clark requested these for breakfast a few weeks past. When I tell Clark I will make anything he wants for breakfast it usually results in french toast or eating out. So when he asked me to make crepes, I must confess I was really excited. This recipe I adapted from 100 Days of Real Food. It's one of...

Saturday Michael and I ventured to a wedding shower. He was my "hot date" since Clark is out of town, and boy was that interesting.

I've never done such a distance with Michael (and our dog, Luna) by myself. Not entirely sure I'd be able to do it again, but we shall see! However, I'd...

 Happy Fourth of July! This truly is one of my favorite holidays. I think it started the first year we livecd on a military base, and the fireworks/celebration was beyond compare. It's still one of my fondest memories, and I hope to introduce Michael to that sort of tradition some day. Last year I posted a bunch of pictures, and it was so...

HAPPY JULY! I know. The title is a mouthful. But you won't mind once you make these! Are you sensing a trend? The last muffin recipe I posted was Banana Coconut. What can I say. Now that I have coconut and coconut oil in the house... the options are endless! Ingredients: - 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted - 1/2 c applesauce - 1/4...
