Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars are a great bar to have around this fall. Full of great pumpkin flavor and chocolate chips. My kitchen is unpacked!! I have been spoiled with a large kitchen for the last 5 years. The kitchen in our rental is a very nice kitchen, but it is much smaller…
The movers finally delivered our stuff!! I spent the ENTIRE day unpacking, and it really doesn’t look like I did very much. We did manage to clear out the garage so we can park both cars in there, that is huge! My Kitchen Aid is unpacked and all set up 🙂 Everything else is still…
We made it to Colorado! It was so nice to know that the long drive was just one way this time. Unfortunately our stuff did not arrive as planned. The driver who was going to drive the truck out “is no longer with the company”. So now, today is the day everything should arrive. …
Today all of our stuff is scheduled to be delivered at our townhouse. As I write this, that is the plan at least 🙂 Needless to say, this week there will not be a lot of cooking happening. Or last week either, since my kitchen was all packed up. So I asked a few of…
This is my last post from Iowa! The movers are here today loading all of our boxes. Thankfully my parents are here to help. I am exhausted, and ready for this move to be over. Saturday night we will be in Colorado! This week has been a great week of seeing friends, and saying Good-Bye. …
Tonight is the last night in our house. The movers come tomorrow to load up everything, and then we are on our way to Colorado. My son’s teacher is throwing him a going away party at school today. He is very excited for that, but he really is going to miss all of his friends…
Today I am guest posting for Kym over at Free Spirit Eater. If you have not met Kym, you need to go check her out! She has all kinds of delicious treats, that make you want to run to the kitchen. I received my very first Blog Award from her when I first started blogging…
It is the first Monday of the month which means it’s Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day! I love this day. It is so much fun to share what I made from someone else’s blog, and see what someone made from mine. This month I was assigned This Chick Cooks. And boy does she cook! Katie…
This is our last weekend in Iowa. That is scary and so exciting at the same time! It has been a week full of packing, and trying to spend time with friends. The next few days are going to be a lot more of the same! My husband was here this week, and it…
Today we finalized some plans for our move to Colorado. On Friday November 11th the movers will be here to load the truck and start the trek out there. I am excited to have a plan and get to be a family again! But, then I realize how much I have to do in the…
Hope everyone had a fun Halloween yesterday. After the sugar coma I think everyone is in today, I am making you a healthy pasta dish. It has pumpkin, which when made without all the sugar of a baked good, is really healthy for you. I found this pasta recipe over at I was Born to…
Happy Halloween! We carved our pumpkins and roasted the seeds yesterday; my son has his costume and is ready to go! It should be a fun night for all the kids. We had a great weekend as a family. My husband was supposed to get here around lunch time on Saturday, but he surprised me…
I am going to forgo my usual Week in Review today to feature a couple more Halloween treats. I went a little over board with ideas this year! I made this snack mix for my son’s class. He saw it all packaged up and was very upset he had to wait until snack time at…
Hubby comes home tomorrow!!! I am not excited or anything, can you tell! Funny thing is, all through college our relationship was long distance. We would regularly go a couple weeks without seeing each other. But after being married for more than 10 years, and neither of us really traveling for work, I am really…
Things are progressing with our house. All the inspections are over and “passed”. We are set to close on December 5th. My husband even found a lot that is worth considering out in Fort Collins. It would be so nice to find something before we moved out there. Then we could send our 6 year…
Halloween is just around the corner, and I have another treat for you! I made Cake Pops for the first time, and attempted to make them look like Ghosts. I think there is a lot left to desired with these, but they would still go over very well with kids. Afterwards I thought maybe I…
Big news at our house today….my husband found us a house to rent in Colorado! It has been hard for him to find something. He has gone to see a few places, but there have been 6 or 7 people interested in each place. So it was a huge relief for him to secure a…
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We went to a local pumpkin farm while my parents were visiting. There were so many fun activities; hay rack rides, giant corn maze, pedal cars, jumping pillow, train ride, animals, haunted house, a playground and so much more. My 6 year old was in heaven! I think…
It is almost Halloween!! Are you ready? Are your kids ready? My 6 year old is going to be Perry the Platapus from Phineus and Ferb. Not sure how he came up with that idea (given his Star Wars and Lego obsession), but it is a good thing Grandma knows how to sew! This weekend…
Have you heard? Steph from Steph’s Bite by Bite is getting married! October 29th is her big day! Kita from Pass the Sushi had the wonderful idea of having a Virtual Bridal Shower for Steph to celebrate. So today we get to share some of our romantic meals with Steph. After 10 years of marriage…
