Christmas in July
This week, I wanted to share a little about our Christmas in July celebration – belated though this post may be. Joy, Robyn and I have made an annual tradition over the last three or four years of celebrating Christmas in July with our children. The first year, we exchanged gifts – school supplies and…

Summer Camp Lunches – Vegan Ideas
This week, I prepared the final batch of summer camp lunches for my kiddos. It’s hard to believe we’ve already finished the camp season and that school will restart in only a few weeks. My kids are homeschooled, so I don’t usually think too much about packing lunches. We tend to make lunch fresh or…

Cooking Your Way to a Dinner Plan
This week, I stumbled my way into an awesome dinner plan. Ever have one of those days where evening plans unexpectedly get cancelled or you just had no preconceived idea for dinner? We had one of those weird weeks where every hour was scheduled – until one event/activity after another got cancelled for one reason…

DITL: Day in the Life
This week, I figured I’d share a snapshot of my life. Here’s what a random day in my life entails. Wake Up 4:30 a.m. – I woke before my alarm this day, which always feels better than being pulled from sleep. I began my day by catching up on some grading in an online course…

Meal Prep: Week of July 2nd and July 9th
This week, I figured I’d recap the last two weeks of meal prep and eating in our house. It’s fruit season around here, meaning a large variety of fruits are on sale in the local grocery stores. I’ve been buying tons of berries and other fruits, so we ended the week of June 25th with…

Cleaning the Fridge
This week, I tackled my neglected refrigerator and gave it a deep clean. I haven’t fully emptied the fridge and cleaned all the shelves and drawers since we moved in about a year and a half, so it was long overdue! First step: remove everything! Second step: assess! The fridge door and all the shelves…

Meal Prep: Rounding out the month of June
This week, I’m recapping the last two weeks of meal prep. I’ve gotten a bit lax with my meal prepping schedule over the last few weeks. Memorial Day weekend threw me off and then I had another holiday off from work in mid-June and sick children. Plus, we were traveling one weekend and attending a…

Meal Prep: Time to Party
This week, I did engage in my usual meal prep for the workweek, but I also made a few special items for a party/get-together with some old colleagues. For the regular week, I kept things simple: I also made French toast using raisin bread and some blended baked oatmeals with a bunch of overly ripe…

Meal Prep: When There’s a Holiday
This week, I was kind of thrown off my game by the holiday weekend. We had some great family time over Memorial Day weekend and accomplished a lot of work around the house and yard. The weather was fantastic here for the first time in untold years; it has rained the last several Memorial Days,…

20K May
This week, I wanted to share a challenge that I decided to undertake midway through the month! Halfway through May, I started thinking about making another attempt at achieving 20,000 steps per day. I previously attempted “Walktober” back in October 2022, but I just couldn’t hit the daily goal. Well, as I was contemplating this endeavor,…
