Gabby Friendly

Much like my fellow Americans, we celebrated the Superbowl with what some would describe as a feast. And holidays of this nature always concern me since I have had my dairy-free princess. Every delicious appetizer under the sun has dairy in some of its ingredients. It’s a true struggle to find a crowd pleasing dairy-free appetizer menu. But I think […]

We have had an out pour of generous gestures, some of my favorites coming in meal form. And although I’m afraid that if I expose on my blog that I am actually cooking, people may stop bringing over food. I just had to share this one! I’m not so good at sitting still and just relaxing.

Despite Tuesday’s breakdown, I managed to have a successful day leading up to that point. Drew had no afternoon activities so we had a marathon of puzzles, games and practicing our letters.

It’s partially that I’m blessed enough to have a HUGE freezer begging for frozen things of this nature. It’s also partially the fact that […]

When Gabby was born she weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces. By the time we left the hospital, she was almost at her birth weight. For the next year her weight was on a roller coaster of highs and lows. Many tears were shed over the fact that she was not thriving. I took her to countless doctors without receiving any […]

With Thanksgiving on the horizon, why not embrace a little cranberry in your life?!? Not to mention, cranberries are known for having tons of antioxidants and being a super food. I’m not sure they are as effective when you throw in boatloads of sugar and other things. We will just ignore that part for our purposes. We can thank my […]

I know this is not new to most people, including me, but my love affair has taken off full force. I have become a Pinterest machine. I’m not exactly pinning and doing what I’m supposed to do on there but finding some great ideas. Some of which are the recipes I have been saving. I decided to try a new […]
