We still get asked pretty regularly, "Sooo... what were you guys doing in Croatia again?" I'm sharing partly because it was such an incredibly sweet/amazing/unreal time for our family but most of all, for any military families out there reading this who could potentially be part of the Olmsted program. The Olmsted Foundation selects a few military officers from each branch every year. It's something you have to apply for, but trust me, it's worth the initial effort!! The Foundation is ... continue reading...
A Simple Easter Table Centerpiece
I didn't pay a penny for this little centerpiece:) My Mom brought these small clay pots over the last time she was here, but you can find them at craft stores for around 29 cents.

The chicken, butternut squash and mushrooms absorb all the flavor while staying tender. I've started serving this with spoons so we can scoop up any remaining sauce left behind - it's that yummy! Our whole family loves this. I ... continue reading...
