It is absolutely mind-blowing to me that today we have a 1 year old. It seems like I was just sitting in the hospital for my weekly monitoring, 45 minutes from home, without my hospital bag or phone charger, and no food in my 39 week pregnant belly when the nurse said “we’re going to…
Chocolate Chip
The Great Chocolate Chip Collection
I’ve been blogging for almost 3 years (FAF actually turns 3 in a few weeks!), and in that time, I’ve been lucky enough to “meet” a handful of other bloggers who have become friends of mine. Even luckier, I’ve been able to actually meet, in person, a few of them, even one who lives in…
No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pie
Let the record state that I am a pretty big science nerd (some of you who have been around these parts for awhile already knew this about me). I work full time in an immunology lab where I make secondary antibodies for people who do microbiology research. I spend all day in a lab in…

Funfetti Sugar Cookie Cake
And just like that, another year has gone by. I know it sounds cliché, but it really seems like just last week I was celebrating my 30th birthday with my closest friends and family. It feels this way because we had a ridiculously jam-packed and exciting year. I got pregnant the day after my 30th…
No Churn Coffee Ice Cream
So I didn’t talk too much about the specifics of my pregnancy here, but now that it’s all said and done and everything turned out a-ok, I can! The last 10 or so weeks were a little worrisome as we found out that our little dude was, in fact, a little dude. Although he always…
