Earn your keep, kid.

Hubby and I were joking that our kids should earn their keep, but in this economy they would have to make their resume really standout to get a job.  I couldn’t stop laughing at the idea of my toddler son’s “resume” and what it might look like against the many resumes that are now filtering [...]

Great Harvest Bread Co.

Hello, cinnamon chip bread!  Where have you been all my life? A friend brought over a loaf of cinnamon chip bread to our house, and I think between our four kids, they ate through nearly 3/4 of that loaf.  My kids have been asking about that cinnamon chip bread ever since, and that is in [...]

What am I, a short order cook?

It was such a warm day that the kids and I spent every other hour it seemed outside, enjoying the sunshine. Bliss. I thought it would be lovely to complete the day with a light dinner of cold Japanese soba noodles and a cucumber salad.  It was the first time that I made zarusoba for [...]

Promise Pizza (Round Rock)

After months of following Promise Pizza’s tweets from the day they opened, I have been meaning to come here with my family, and finally…we made it. Promise Pizza stands out from most pizza parlors because, in Promise Pizza’s own words, “…caters to those who are looking for an awesome tasting organic, all natural pizza with [...]
