New Fridge – All Love!
This week, we finally replaced the side-by-side refrigerator/freezer that came with our house. I hemmed and hawed about buying a new fridge for months because the old one technically worked fine. It cooled. It froze. It usually didn’t freeze produce or cause anything to spoil. The seal was even fine. But it also was missing…

Summertime Grilling
This week, we ended a week of summertime camp fun in the best way I could imagine: grilling up some delicious eats and dining outside on the deck. I seized a few moments of opportunity midmorning and chopped zucchini, sliced cauliflower steaks, and diced potatoes. My husband, A., has been perfecting his grilled vegetable game…

A New Friday Tradition?
This week, I wanted to share a new “tradition” that I may have accidentally started. I began a new job about a month and a half ago, and as our family has adjusted to my new schedule, one of my kids’ only complaints (and I wouldn’t even say they’ve complained, per say) has been the…

Meal Prepping When You Don’t Wanna
This week, I was definitely feeling unenthusiastic about meal prepping. The whiniest voice in my head was just saying, “I don’t wannnaaaa.” I blame the weather in my area. The sunshine and warm temperatures have been replaced by gray skies and damp, chilly air. In any event, I plunged forward, and this is what I…

Garden Starting
This week, I decided to share a bit about starting our spring garden. Of course, this post is actually rather belated because we started seeds indoors months ago. Too many months ago, it turns out. Apparently I inadvertently looked at the wrong zone or something when I plotted our planting and seed starting schedule last…

New Kitchen Faucet
This week, I wanted to share a little kitchen update and talk about my brand new kitchen faucet! If you’ve been following along for a while now, you’ll recall that a little over a year ago, my house flooded in a freak tarp malfunction. We were in the midst of building an addition on our second story,…

Meal Prep: What’s for lunch this week?
This week, if I am being really honest, I didn’t want to meal prep. But when you become accustomed to how much more smoothly the week runs when you have meals in the fridge… Well, you just persevere and do the meal prep! Here’s what’s on the menu this week: Breakfast Lunch Dinner Although they…

Magic Can Happen in 15 Minutes
This week, I wanted to share my recent discovery about the magic that can happen in just 15 minutes a day. I recently started a new job that required a pretty significant shift in thinking about household management. I’ve never been a full-time at-home mom or homemaker, (though I seriously admire those who are), but…

Meal Prep: Small Chunks of Time Can Make a Big Difference
This week, I have been continuing to follow the mantra, “What can I do right now to make life easier later?” The weekend was nutty and I didn’t end up with as much energy or time for my Sunday meal prep as I had hoped. I ended up waking up late and then had to…

Meal Prep: Breakfast Fried Rice and Jar Salads
This week featured some meal prepping WINS. I mean, I might be biased, but I felt like the food this week was on point. And I managed to get it all done in roughly 2 hours on a Sunday. Here’s what I made: The last two items will make for easy dinners that I can…
