Jamie and I are big shredded chicken fans, and more often than not we have a big Rubbermaid in the fridge full of shredded chicken waiting for us to throw into something – appetizers, wraps, salads, pasta, you name it. Everybody shreds their chicken differently, but here’s what works for us: Place desired number of frozen chicken breasts (we’ve done… Keep Reading
Military Love Story: Katie & Matt
I have heard few love stories that are more whimsical than those of my military friends.

A few things on my mind today –… Keep Reading

The 28ish bucks went back on my Target RedCard, and I proceeded straight to the baby section to start my shopping. I picked up a tub of Similac Sensitive (the… Keep Reading
Buying our Home in Kansas: Inspection Follow-up & Loan Finalizing
After signing a stack of loan paperwork for 30 minutes straight last night, I figure that today is as good a day as any to do a little home-buying update! We’re still cruisin’ for a September 2nd closing date, so hopefully six weeks from today we’ll be welcoming our moving truck (fingers crossed!) and moving in. In the last update I… Keep Reading
