DITL: Day in the Life – Food Edition
This week, I decided to share my “formula” for food through a day-in-the-life style post. I love, love, love food. I usually enjoy cooking it – experimenting and playing with new ingredients and recipes. But I do sometimes go through seasons when no food sounds appealing and I end up mindlessly eating when I’m hungry.…

Back Porch Refresh
This week, I want to share an outdoor project that has been in the works for a while. Last fall, when our interior renovations and flood recovery were complete and we were able to return home, we replaced our wooden back deck with a more durable decking material. We also doubled the deck’s square footage.…

Grocery Savings and Routines
This week, I wanted to talk about adapting to change. I’ve always been a couponer, a lover of great deals. I was raised by a mom who grocery shopped once a month, making lists for different stores. We would leave the house with a cooler and ice packs and a coupon box in hand. We…

Floating Shelves
This week, we tackled another project on our household “to-do” list. I know I reference our project list frequently, but we definitely aren’t the only household with a task list that seems to continually grow. Last year, our top priority was the addition. We had visions of working on the living room – beautifying the…

Fish Tacos with Spicy Coleslaw
This week, I finally made fish tacos. I say “finally” because my husband has been asking for this meal for weeks, but I haven’t had all the ingredients in the house at the same time until now. JM specifically requested fried fish tacos with spicy tartar sauce and coleslaw. Putting all that on a taco…

Making Goals Stick
This week seemed like a great opportunity for reflection. After all, the beginning of a new month usually feels like a fresh start to me. I don’t want to say that I’ve mastered my 2023 goal of washing my face most days, but I’ve been doing pretty well overall. So, I’ve been considering adding in…

Baking macaroons…sort of
This week, in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I decided to bake! Do you ever feel like making something but find that every recipe you review uses ingredients you don’t have or requires steps you don’t feel like taking? I frequently have this problem. It’s hard for me to follow a recipe because the process…

Spontaneous Basement Projects – Shelving!
This week – or two weeks ago, actually – we embarked on a spontaneous basement project. We’ve lived in our house nearly ten years, and like most homeowners, we have developed a long list of things we hope to update, add, or make more efficient. But somehow, basement storage never made the list. Our basement…

New Years Goals
This week might seem a bit late to be posting about New Years goals. But the problem with New Years resolutions is that people rarely stick to them. In my mind, this makes February the perfect time to talk about a year goal – because in theory, I should be more than a month into…

Mom’s Night In – Pantry Makeover Magic
This week, we killed two birds with one stone. Every now and then, Robyn, Joy, and I head out for a mom’s night. We often use the time to plan group homeschool outings, swap stories and advice, and be productive. And sometimes, we just gab and enjoy some good food. This time around, we decided…
