April 14th, 2024
Our youngest turned one last weekend. Here I am, just reflecting on how the amount of energy poured into the first year of nurturing a sweet little babe can feel so isolating. Even the 5th time around! Friendships have been hard for me the past year and a half-ish, and especially more so the ...

Tomato Free Salsa
Let's keep this simple! I love salsa, but consuming tomatoes make my feet so sore I can barely walk, and they put our little girl into tears for the same thing, sore feet. It hasn't always been this way, yet it has intensified over time. Although, sometimes we can tolerate marinara sauce like in ...
Quick Tip Tuesday: Set that Timer
You know that when you’re making cookies you want to SET THE TIMER. Of course that’s because you don’t want to burn your cookies making them only edible when they’re crumbled over a massive bowl of ice cream and then covered in Hershey’s chocolate, not that I’ve ever done that or anything. When ...

3 Mudroom Hacks You Can ACTUALLY Do!
This past fall we were on one of our regular IKEA trips when I found myself wandering areas of the store that I didn't even belong in. My husband caught me in a trance staring at dish drainers.

Fair Trade: Coffee and Accessories
Although my husband doesn't like coffee, and I assure you I did not know this before I married him, he buys it for me anyways. In marriage there is commitment AND compromise, folks. Over the last 11 years that I've been buying coffee (since I can't just drink my parents' for free any more) I've ...
Let Your Heart Wander
Hello! Do you ever feel like you’re strictly doing only what you have to do, just to get by? I’ve been in that mode for a few weeks now. I’ve been having a hard time saying “no” to the things I’m not super passionate about, because I’ve had the mentality of “yeah, I can squeeze it in” or “that ...
