Happy Friday EVE! The weekend is around the corner and I wanted to share a simple salad idea for you to pair with pizza night! Every weekend we have one night when we’ll order pizza delivery or make it at home. Here’s our favorite homemade Detroit style pizza recipe – my brother Jason and sister …
Another weekend flew by just like that! On Friday night the boys have flag football games. Being able to play football outside every Friday night of the year is one of the many reasons we love Florida living! I will never take it for granted. Jake coaches the boys’ team and it has been so …
When I was a brand new mom, do you know what phrase used to bother me the very most? “It goes so fast.” This was usually said to me as I was covered in spit up and so exhausted I couldn’t think straight. I literally remember thinking to myself SOOOO many times, “Easy for you …
