About me

I'm a stay at home mama and fumble my way through the kitchen to get meals on the table. That's why I call myself the "Pretend Chef". I only think I know what I'm doing. Haha! Thank goodness for recipes.

  That is great that you have that family support. I would love to have a real date night with my guy. We've talked about having more kids. I love having a boy and would love to have another boy. I'm not sure how I would do with a girl. Not much of a girly girl. I try but I don't even really know how to put on makeup. Do you have a blog?

Yeah i know the feeling...i have an 8 year old son and a 4 year old daughter!lol!But its not so bad for me as my son is at school during the day and my little one goes to nursery in the afternoon for 2 hours...i try to get all of my housework done in the morning so that i have the afternoons free:)Do u not get much time to yourself?

  My guy works out on the road for a living and he sees home maybe one weekend out of the month during the Spring and Summer months. He is at home for almost three months during the Winter when the weather is not good for travel in his line of work. We live 2000+ miles away from both of our families so I don't have any extra hands to take him for a couple hours if needed. When my guy is home though I feel like I can finally take good showers. Haha! Itty bitty does take naps but that is when I can clean up the damage he's created and get the house back in order. I do try to take an hour or so to myself in the morning or stay up an hour later at night. It works.

  I'll have to browse through there when I get some down time again. Not much down time with a 2 1/2 year old.

When you post a recipe how are your friends informed? Or do you just have to click on their individual pages to see what they've cooked up?

Hi!

Being an at home chef is a tough job - three meals a day, 365 days a year and not very many days off! I think we all feel a little like we're pretending on most days!

Best wishes!

  Don't forget the two snacks, haha! I love being in the kitchen minus the doing dishes part!
