This week, I optimized my meal prep time and managed to get all of the food cooked and portion – and the dishes washed! – in just two hours. Here’s what I prepared: I definitely benefited from some previous prep work I had done since the cooked farro and the tikka masala sauce were thawed…

Nesting: Filing the Freezer – Part 2
This week, I wanted to share the second (and third and fourth…) part to my postpartum freezer meal prep saga. I shared a few weeks ago about my first round of cooking and all the meals and goodies I stocked in our freezer. Well, I haven’t undertaken another full day since then, but I have…

A Brand New Pantry!
This week, I am thrilled to announce…it’s finally here! As part of our basement renovation, A. and I planned to create a pretty large size surplus pantry for bulk food storage.

Busy Holiday Season DITL
This week, I am sharing a busy day-in-the-life style post. The holiday season is usually absolute chaos, in my opinion, and while I love every minute of these merry and bright times, sometimes it can just feel overwhelming. In those moments, I always return to my favorite organizational method: list making! It’s amazing how jotting…

This week, I wanted to share the amazing progress we’ve made on our basement renovation after several months of slower, less visible progress. We slowed progress over the summer as our attention shifted to outdoor projects, yardwork, and gardening tasks. We also were working slowly through some plumbing projects that had minimal visible impact but…
