I never wanted another bulldog. (He’s not mine, he belongs to Alexis) That part of my heart belongs to The Chunks. They shed more than I care to remember, and have the most atrocious gas. But then, along came this chub-a-lub. He has officially wiggles his way into my heart ♥️ I remember just how much I love this breed. They are sweet, funny, and just the biggest goobers. The drool will come and so will the hair, and that’s okay. @lexidoman can pay for my cleaning service. What I don’t want to relive, is the garbage butt. @brendo234 our movies nights have been so pleasant! 🙊 Meh, I love him anyways. 🥰

Merry Christmas!! 🎄
Family time and food, these are some of my favorite things!
As I sure you already know, my kitchen is the foundation of my family, and the table is where we make the some of our best memories. And Crepes, these are one of my family’s favorite holiday traditions.
When it comes to food, what is your favorite or most memorable family tradition??

If you haven’t checked out my recipe on the blog, it’s a must. They are way easier than you’d imagine!

I don’t know how many cocoa bombs I’ve made this year, but finishing up the last batch before Christmas!
Thanks everyone for your love of chocolate, and support. It’s greatly appreciated. ❤️💚

Merry Friday!! This is how I’m going into the weekend, and possibly the next 17 days of kids being at home. I swear I’ve had kids at home, more than they’ve been at school this year.
So Cheers to Christmas vacation! This sign will be posted up in my kitchen until the kids go back to school. Feel free to stop by and visit me & Captain Chonies and have a mimosa!
.
❤️💚 And shout out to my BFSIL @kelleycreates for lettering the sign.

I try not to drink the stuff. For lots of reasons. But traditions and memories precede that effort.
You will always find me with a Starbucks coffee, of some sort, and this cranberry bliss bar on December 2nd. In loving memory to one of my most favorite people.
Happy heavenly birthday Lori LuVern!! You are always missed, just hurts a bit extra today and in this season. ❤️💚

On a scale from 1-10…. How ready are you for Christmas? I’m cruising at a solid 4. Had grand plans to be around a 7 or 8 by the 1st. Missed that bench mark by a long shot!

• Cocoa Bombs • It’s was chilly and overcast when I made these, now that it’s warm and windy seems like it’s not the day to post, but it’s Coco Bomb season! I dropped some off at @thecrafthouse805.
Message me if you’d like to place an order.
As you can see, they are kid approved!

39 days til Christmas!! ❤️💚
Just because my house is completely decorated doesn’t mean I don’t love Thanksgiving, I just don’t decorate for it. But I will craft my face off for it, or any holiday. And on that note, I did the black outlines but, my 5 year old pained the turkey.
@thecrafthouse805 has some great take home kits. Check them out for new and updated crafts. I’m in love with this little turkey!

Pumpkin spice is so very nice, or pumpkin yuck, I don’t give a …. ! 🙊Which one are you? I’m a “give me all the pumpkin” things. I 🧡 it!
And these aren’t made from scratch, and they still are super delicious. Thank you @traderjoes!
On a side note, this will be the 3rd round of pumpkin baking I’ve done for @lexidoman. I made a scratch pumpkin pie 🥧 per her request. (She ate 1 slice) Got her pumpkin bites, also her request, Logan has eaten all of those. And now these muffins, which Logan and I have had one. If she doesn’t eat at least half of these, 😂 no more personal requests!

If anyone is looking for me, I’m over here hanging in some future wine, drinking current wine, while my husband celebrates “Sober October”!

Happy first day of Fall! Or do you call it Autumn? Are you wanting it to cool down or are you trying to hold on to summer as long as possible??

Went to Trader Joe’s this morning and they made all my fall dreams come true. From the flowers, to food, to the haunted house Logan made!

• Homemade Sushi • Have you tired making your own sushi?? If not, I highly recommend. It’s delicious, and I promise, it’s not difficult. Just a little time consuming. Perfect for the weekend! I also love that I can use less rice on my roll. What’s your favorite sushi roll?
Photo 1: California roll 🍥
Photo 2: spicy tuna 🍣
Photo 3: baked lobster roll 🦞
Thanks @kelleycreates & @mattkolo for the tuna!!

🪅 No time to siesta, it’s time to fiesta! 🪅 Oh how I’ve missed throwing parties! It’s my favorite! And to me, no party is complete without signs!
Huge shout out to my SIL, that even though she couldn’t make the party, she helped me with the signs. And per usual… perfection!! Thank you @kelleycreates for always being right there!!
If you are looking for signs, rentals, custom wood sign, basically if you can’t think it she can make it! (I’m not bias at all!)

And just like that… I have a 21 year old!? Enjoying the morning, and taking it all in.
Friday night she used her fake ID for the last time. (Just one of things I learned about my kids during quarantine!)
Last night, we put the Fake ID to rest, and Cheers’d to toast! 🥂🍞
I have a feeling Logan and I will be the only ones up for a very long time!

Happy 3rd of July Moorparkians!! Yes, the little town I grew up in celebrates July 4th on the 3rd… and it’s pretty great! I LOVE fireworks, and celebrating!
❤️🤍💙
What are you guys up to this weekend? What are you cooking, drinking or baking?
❤️🤍💙
If you’re looking for some delicious and festive cookies to bake, you have to check these out. Trickiest part is the frosting, it’s not difficult, just do it in small batches because the die muddles together and becomes purple. I also omit the almond extract, I don’t enjoy the taste.
❤️🤍💙
Recipe on blog, search “cookies” or “Star-Spangled Cookies”

Birthday pancakes for my 17 year old!

Funny

Birthday pancakes for my 17 year old!
🥞
Funny story about my girls. So, syrup... they ONLY like Aunt Jemima. When they were little, I went through the stuff like it was water. And it’s a little pricier than say, Log Cabin. So, I bought Log Cabin because, well... you gotta try to cut costs where you can. They immediately told me they hated it, and wouldn’t eat it! Little B’s right?!
So, I decided to be smarter than 2 little girls. I poured, without them knowing, Log Cabin into the Aunt Jemima’s container and gave it to them. And wouldn’t you know it, they then proceeded to tell me “Mom, this Aunt Jemima syrup went bad. You need to buy a new one!”
DAMNIT!!
So a bit of useless information about my family... we are Aunt Jemima syrup lovers for LIFE! ✊🏼
