To Dads with Sons: Please Don’t Stop Hugging

March 28, 2017 No Comments

Fatherly love

March 20, 2017 No Comments

I’m a parent. I also run my own business from the comfort of my home. So, that makes me…a work-from-home parent. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Bed head, PJs, and a commute that consists of walking downstairs to my office. I’ll admit, it’s a pretty sweet gig, but it does have its challenges.

Quick Crustless Mini Quiche Recipe

March 19, 2017 No Comments

Oh, the humble egg! Never has a protein been so versatile, tasty and packed with goodness. While my eldest daughter is a huge fan of eggs in any way, my tempestuous toddler has a complete aversion for them. So, I’m always on the look-out for ways to sneak in these shelled beauties!
