WITH LOVE / A FOOD BLOG

Roasted Butternut Squash with Brown Butter and Fried Sage Recipe cooking videoPIN

I have been blogging now for almost four years. When I began this blog I was a newlywed looking for an outlet of my thoughts on anything and everything. Now, I am the (very busy) thirty year old mother of two marvelous little ladies. While I still hold a special place in my heart and on my Sunday mornings for Vogue, and I still am a swaddling champion and cloth diapering master, and still keep my fingers crossed for great auditions to come my way, I am just not excited about blogging about all of it. Things are so different, so much more complicated, so much more wonderful than they were four years ago. I started this blog to get motivated, to try so many new things that I hadn’t tried. But now, my life is filled to the brim with passion, love, diapers, and everything in between.  My collected passions have evolved from the lovely frivolity of fashion and films, into a rich collection that comes with having a family.

When I was pregnant with Lulu, I had a revelation. Something that’s greatly effected my decision making process going forward. What I realized was this… It doesn’t matter how much I accomplish, it doesn’t matter whether or not it’s done perfectly. (I tend to take on way too much, and I’m a failed perfectionist.) What matters is that everything I do, I do with love. I try to keep that in mind when I’m doing all the mundane, everyday tasks, as well as when I’m doing something special. The main place I feel like I’m able to express my love is when I’m cooking for, and eating with my family and friends. When I lay in bed at night I’m dreaming about recipes, I spend a huge amount of my time cooking for my family, and my favorite books are cookbooks. My heart is in my kitchen and with my kids.

Going forward this space will focus on my experiences raising my girls, cooking for and with my family, we will make more cooking videos, and most posts will include a recipe. I want this space to be a sort of gradual memoir. There will be fewer posts overall. There will still be occasional “other” posts, on baby things, style, etc. and I’ll continue sharing Lulu’s monthly updates through her first birthday. But mostly there will be recipes, cooking videos, photographs, experiences, and stories that will focus on my journey through life and motherhood by way of my kitchen.

Thank you for visiting.

With love,
Kacie
