I am NOT an anxious person. Yes, I worry about the normal things like my kids, my grey hairs (courtesy of my kids) and what I’m going to eat for dinner. BUT, I don’t get anxious. I don’t stay up at night worrying about things…
If life were fair, I would be writing this from the beach in Turks and Caicos. I would probably have a touch of sunburn, a cocktail in my hand, and would hopefully be, at least 76% more relaxed than I am right now. BUT, because…
Some days you win. Some days you lose. Today feels like a loss. It’s a holiday and I feel like everyone is having more fun than us. I know this isn’t true, but in my mind everyone else on earth is having a FB-worthy…

My daughter has this blanket that goes with her everywhere. This blanket, creatively named “Blankie,” has been with her since her literal DAY ONE, lovingly made by her grandmother while she was still cooking. It’s soft. It’s worn. It’s tattered. And it’s gross. I’ve actually…
Yesterday I was lucky enough to chaperone my daughters first grade field trip to the Dallas Aquarium. I didn’t really think this through at the time, but it was my last first grade field trip ever, unless I’m so lucky to go as a grandparent.…
Welcome to BurntToast! My name is Meaghan, and this is my safe space, a place where we can share stories, share recipes and share life. It’s my dream that you can come here, kick your shoes off and pour yourself a glass of wine while you read, laugh, and maybe even hop into the kitchen. This is my heart, for all of you to see. And ALL are welcome here.
