This sweet monthly menu planner post has been a labor of LOVE. I adore calendars, planning, prepping, and the benefits of being prepared. When I stress over our monthly menu plan all in one evening (or two), I can then sit back and just enjoy the rest of the month. I first look at our calendar ...
We Added String Lights in the Garage!
If you've been following me over on Instagram you know that I've been slowly trying to make our garage into more of a cozy outdoor living space. We have a three stall garage, so one small stall can house most of the "stuff", like bikes, baseball gear, the mower, gardening supplies, etc. That means ...
My Favorite Peel and Stick Bathroom Accessories {Before and After}
My most favorite home improvement projects are the ones that cost under $20 and can be done in less than 10 minutes. Small changes can make such a big difference in the way we see our spaces and the way we feel in those spaces. This little project I tackled last week is one I probably should've ...
The Summer of Simple {Recipe and a Tip}
I dubbed this as the summer of simple, long before this gorgeous {and-sometimes-a-bit-too-hot} summer weather even came along. I promised myself I wouldn't get worked up in making everything perfect and giving my kids endless opportunities to never be bored. Boredom is great for the mind ...
Lunch: Simplified {Yumbox}
Friends, I have to share this with you! I have found a way to bring more peace and order to our homeschool lunch routine. I'm sure you're thinking it's lunch, slap some PB & J on a piece of bread and move on, but with allergies, preferences, and a baby/toddler with only 4 teeth, it's so much ...
Reusing Baby Food Containers for Snacks
These little baby food containers make the perfect snack containers. Pre-portioned and ready to grab snacks help us all stay on track. •Normally I would just recycle something like this, but this is my year of consuming less and be more intentional. •Okay, actually "normally" all of the baby food ...
Roasted Veggies
Roasted Veggies are the current staple in our house. Yours too? My kids each eat a truckload, I eat double that, and whatever's left becomes Mr. Awesome's lunch for work. I love that I can use fresh or frozen veggies. The trick to roasting frozen vegetables is to not let ...
The Perfect Minimalist Wallet
My husband had been carrying around the same wallet for over 15 years, which speaks a lot about the quality craftsmanship, but after more than a decade and a half of daily use, it was literally falling apart. Being the frugal minimalist man that he sometimes is, he kept carrying it. I would hint ...
Ten Years
The rest of the family went to sleep early, so my littlest guy and I had a little mommy + me date. We cleaned, we packed daddy's lunch, we did 1/8th of the dishes (we were both over it before we even began), we wrote colorful notes for everyone and left them on the table to be discovered in the ...
Recharge
Getting out of the house alone can make me feel guilty, and the act itself is sometimes physically tough- like preparing everything for my family while I'm gone, plus finding cute clothes, makeup, and a dish to share... Ugh. Sometimes my littles even stand at the door and cry as I back away, ...
One Ingredient Parmesan Chips
Homemade Parmesan Chips. Just typing that makes my mouth water! Sound good? Read on! If you're one who would rather make your fancy fun food than buy it, or you just like trying new things and saving money, this is the recipe for you! 1) Bake mounds of freshly shredded parmesan cheese on a ...
Frozen Brussels Sprouts in the Instant Pot
As if frozen veggies weren't easy enough, they just got a whole lot easier, thanks to my Instant Pot. I almost always keep frozen veggies on hand to add into soups and stews, and for a quick side to add to our dinners. If you're an electric pressure cooker newbie, this is a great recipe for you to ...
Committing to the Lord
Being a homeschool mom sounded so wonderful when I was still a public school momma. I’ve always loved having my children home, teaching them, and waiting for that magical “light bulb” moment when it clicks. Watching them explore the world, fueled by curiosity, inspires me to be a better teacher, ...
The Most Greatest.Gift.Ever
As I held the phone in my hand talking to the receptionist and looking at my calendar I held my breath and tried not to let my worry show through the phone lines when she gave me the next available appointment date. My words said “Great, I’ll take it, thank you”, but my heart said, “Oh ...
Snag the BIG 8QT Instant Pot for just $81.99 this Black Friday
Hey friends! I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with lots of love, and turkey (or ham)! Did you see the deal of the day going on? If you're a busy family and you don't own an Instant Pot yet, my only question for you is this... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? I cannot even tell you how much this gadget ...
Dig In! {A Lesson From a 5 Year Old}
Me (to the just turned 5yr old): If you sit well at the orchestra meeting today, you can have some ice cream when we get home. Kids just don't forget, do they?! Ha! I fully intended to make right on my end of the deal, but I needed to put groceries away first. Well, she went ahead and ...
When You Adopted Before Adoption Was Cool
Happy World Adoption Day! Who knew there was such a day? First and foremost, we need more people willing to open their hearts and homes to people in need (not just children). I get that, I believe that. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. This post isn’t going to hit home with all of you. This post ...
Are Your Kids Using Snapchat? Read This!
Monitoring Matters Do you monitor your children’s feeds and online presence? I do, every night for my younger children. Snapchat stories disappear after 24 hours, and private messages vanish even faster. If you don’t check in, it’s easy to miss what your child is seeing. I watch stories with my ...
Homeschool Fun Friday: Monopoly Junior Game Review
We love to incorporate games into our homeschooling. It's a great way to add interest to learning and break up the routine of worksheets and workbooks. The second half of our Fridays we often call "Fun Friday" and spend the afternoon playing games. This doesn't ALWAYS happen, because sometimes ...
