taters and veggies

I just posted a couple of easy side dish recipes over at The Recipe Box. Go check 'em out here.

On another note, I have a girl's weekend coming up with my mom, my sister, and my sister-in-law. Oh - and baby Cooper gets to join the adventure too. We are taking our annual trip to this little Amish community where we shop, eat, buy some of the best baked goods in the universe and visit some of the cutest stores. I can't wait. I leave Friday and, here's the best part........I'm going alone. No kiddos! I actually say it's the best part because I am so excited to have some girl time alone, but truth be told, I miss them like crazy and kind of feel like I'm half of a person on trips like this. I don't enjoy leaving my kids and yet I love it at the same time.

Mothering.

There you have it.
