Finally, Beyond Plain (Recipe: Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes)
I’ve been dealing with Postpartum Depression. You might remember, back in October, I was diagnosed with having symptoms of Postpartum Depression stemming from the birth of my sweet Leah last May. My symptoms presented themselves in a different way that I didn’t realize was PPD. I wasn’t sad or weepy… just very anxious, edgy and…
Blogging Mentors (Recipe – Chocolate Cocoa Pancakes)
My Grandma Sumner was an extremely charitable woman. Even though she had a pretty tough life, her attitude was one of positiveness and looking forward instead of behind. Her house always had bowls of dog and cat food outside for any stray animals that came around. She had numerous people in her neighborhood who considered…

The Supermom Myth (Recipe: Banana Pancakes)
I was visiting my sister this week, working on some articles I had due, when my niece whispered to her mom, “Aunt Kris is Supermom!”. I didn’t hear exactly what she said but my sister then repeated it to me. I quickly put my niece’s assumption that I was some kind of wonder woman to…

Where’s the Crumb? (Recipe – New Jersey Crumb Cake)

Keeping it Sunny (Recipe: Blueberry Sunrise Muffins)
Would you like to know what happened to me while I was at church yesterday? I was sitting in mass when my 3 year old told me she needed to go potty. I took her back to the ladies restroom, she did her thing, I bent down to help her pull up her panties and…
Lazy Days (Recipe: Eggadilla Breakfast Quesadilla)
This Eggadilla Breakfast Quesadilla recipe is a simple breakfast for those mornings on the go! I am typically an early riser. Not necessarily because I want to be but because I have been forced to be by a husband who chooses to go to work at 5:30am and kiddos who somehow inherited some insane…
The Need to Feed (Recipe: Buttermilk Biscuits)
I love summertime…absolutely love it. I love having my kids home. I love the warm weather, the sunshine, and the impromptu neighborhood gatherings that happen when we are all hanging outside. I love not having to be any place in particular by 8am…lazy mornings of snuggling in bed and reading books before we all get…
