Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and whether it’s a significant other, kiddos, your mom and dad, or a close friend, it’s always fun to make a little sweet for someone special in your life…

Roasted Beet Chips + Remembering My Mom

Things have been a little quiet around the blog lately. My goal had been to unplug a bit over the holidays and soak in every moment of Brighton’s first Christmas and enjoy our time with family. And that happened. But then some other things happened, too…
