It finally rained here! Of course the rain came on Halloween, so I felt a little bad for the trick or treaters, but so glad for our state. California is in a drought and it was so refreshing to have some … Continue reading

This week has gone by so fast and seemed to last forever all at the same time. I am sure you have had those weeks too. Due to the crazy busy weeks we have been having, I have been cooking … Continue reading
I am not the only one who loves pumpkin in my house. As soon as Zero, our dog, smells pumpkin and peanut butter at the same time, it’s like he knows I am in the kitchen for him. Canned pumpkin is … Continue reading
Sometimes good things come out of chaos. I had picked up drumsticks at the store, they were on the menu. That part was planned. I usually do a simple crockpot recipe where I put the drumsticks in and I throw … Continue reading
Lately, I have been having this craving for pumpkin bread. Not just any pumpkin bread, but my Aunt’s pumpkin bread. I have the recipe and I could make it, but it wouldn’t be the same. She puts something special into … Continue reading
It’s September! Fall is officially here and summer is over. I love fall for so many reasons. I love the fall flavors of cinnamon, pumpkin, squash, and apples. I also love fall clothes like scarves and boots, hopefully it decides … Continue reading

I have wanted to start a blog for quite awhile. It has taken a long time to get here for a multitude of reasons, but finally here I am. The purpose of starting this blog is two-fold. First reason is simple, I love to share. If I bring dinner to a friend, share baked treats, make something homemade, take a picture on Instagram or post a Facebook status on my handiwork, I am always asked for a recipe, a how-to, or a secret. Since I am not great at keeping secrets, I would love to share them with you here. If something makes my life easier, happier, or especially yummier…I want that for you too. Secondly, I like to be organized (that doesn’t mean I always am…I just like it). I found that I was emailing recipes, texting how-to directions, and scratching things on paper from memory. Instead of doing all that I would like to share it here. This makes the first reason of sharing…easier and more organized. I am excited to see what we uncover here. Secrets of a Young Wife is now unleashed. Enjoy!
P.S. Thank you to those who encouraged me to finally take the leap (after talking about it for waayyy too long). Especially to my dearest husband and my wonderful friend and fellow blogger (directorofoperations.blogspot.com ), I am so appreciative of your unending support and love in all things.
