A friend and I were heading out to dinner one night when she asked me how and where we store our shoes in our house. She told me that her kids seem to ignore the shoe rack she’s placed in the mud room and she’s running out of patience and ideas. I have one word for you, I said: Baskets.
We welcomed our beautiful baby boy James Andreas on June 15.
For a long time I used to wrap potatoes in foil and put them in the oven whenever we fancied baked potatoes.
