My happy place is in the kitchen cooking up something delicious and nutritious for my family. And now that Parks is getting older, he is also expressing a lot of interest in helping me in the kitchen! I have every hope that he will fall in love with cooking just like his mama, but even more than that I hope I can teach him about where his food is coming from and what it takes to prepare it. I think it's important for kids to learn how to prepare food for themselves and that comes from spending time in the kitchen! One thing that we have really been working on is washing our hands before and after we make anything so that our hands stay clean. With constant hand washing however, toddler hands (and mama hands) can become dry! That's why I am loving Dial Complete® 2 in 1 Moisturizing & Antibacterial Foaming Hand Wash for me and for my son to keep our hands sanitized and moisturized at the same time!

After releasing my second cookbook, First Bites, in August 2017 I realized a little something about myself. The first thing was that I'm really good at my job, the second was I really love my job, the last thing I realized was that I'm timid and shy and afraid of rejection so I don't put myself out there like I should. It took my second book releasing for me to decide that it's time to step out of my comfort zone and take some risks in big ways for 2018. No more hiding in my kitchen and behind the camera, slowly allowing self doubt to creep in...it's time for me to go after what I want with zero fear of failure! In 2018, I'm all about saying "Yes" to what to come!

They always say don't blink because it all passes so quickly, and at the time when you are tired from sleepless nights, you are covered in spit up, and can't quite remember what your old body felt like...it's hard to see how that could be true. Well I blinked and here we are one year after our lives changed forever, and Canean Parks Chatagnier was born. Just like that, truly in a blink of an eye, a whole 365 days have passed. Our baby boy who struggled while taking his first breaths and came into our lives rather traumatically, is vibrant and so full of joy that he brightens our days more than he will ever know.

I feel like I almost forgot how this whole blogging thing goes. The past five months have been a whirlwind and I feel like I am finally getting back to a little normalcy around here. Between having a baby, completing my first cookbook, and trying to be a somewhat good wife, I haven't had much time to just be, let alone blog. I have missed this (and you) so much and cannot wait to share with you some new recipes that I am excited about right now! For now though here's a little recap of what I've been doing for the past five months!
