Today was Jordan’s first day of second grade. I got a little sad. And then I realized something. She’s gone! At school all day! I kinda felt like that lady in the empty-nester commercial, the one who redecorated her kid’s room as soon as he left for college? It’s amazing the difference that happens to [...]

Snickerdoodle Bars (12 weeks of Christmas Cookies)

I love watching television. It’s one of my favorite pastimes. It’s one of the reasons I love the Fall so much: new shows.
