Last year for Hanukkah, Adam and I headed out to my mom’s house, and I told you all about how she’s the latke queen. This year, instead of heading to my mom’s house for Hanukkah, we went instead to a wonderful Hanukkah party hosted by Adam’s mom and stepdad in Northwest Indiana and I was [...]
After an overwhelming “hell yes!” reaction when I asked if you, my readers, wanted to see a “favorite things” post, I figured, what the heck, I’ll go for it. I’m not going to give away a car, cuckoo clock, or twin bed set, but I will be giving away a $75 CSN Stores gift certificate [...]

I wanted to take a minute this morning and wish my dad a very Happy Father’s Day… well, and to all the dads out there, but specifically mine. Over the years, our relationship has grown and changed, and I was honored to have him and my mom walk me down the aisle at our wedding [...]
I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day, whatever it was that you did with your day I spent much of the morning relaxing and baking bread for my mom’s barbecue this afternoon. I ended up making two types of bread since I thought the first didn’t come out well…but I was wrong! Type [...]
¡Feliz cinco de mayo! How many of you know the story behind the celebration that is cinco de mayo? I see a few hands raised out there, but contrary to popular belief, it is NOT Mexican Independence Day! That’s September 16. Cinco de mayo commemorates the win of a small army in the town of [...]
Every year, as long as I can remember, my family has gone to Eo’s (my mom’s best friend) house for Easter. I know I wrote about it last year, and this year is no different! Ok, that’s not the truth. I did something different this year since apparently, the cupcake baking bug has bitten me. [...]
Last night was our annual Passover seder, and as usual, it was incredibly fun and full of amazing family, friends, and of course, food! I wrote briefly about our Passover seder last year, and looking back, I really didn’t do that great of a job explaining exactly what the holiday entails! That’s why I waited [...]
