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…

Meal Prepping Momentum
(This post is not affiliated). Last week, I shared a bit about my meal prep madness and some of my tips for successful meal planning. This week, I kept the momentum going with another batch of meal prepping. I’ve been embracing the quotation from Kendra Adachi’s book, The Lazy Genius Way, and trying to do…

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…

Meal Prepping Madness!
This week, I crushed meal prep! OK, I crushed the beginning of meal prep. Realistically, this is only 3-4 days worth of meals for A. and me. But I love the sense of accomplishment that comes when you stack the containers in the fridge and know you don’t have to think about making dinner after…

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…

Order in the Chaos – New Closet Shelving
This week, I really needed to find some order in my life. Some major changes are on the horizon for me at work, and I have not been coping well. Part of the issue is my coworkers’ attitudes about transitions happening at my workplace. And part of it is my struggle with uncertainty and change…

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…

Impromptu Sunday Lunch
This week, A. and I ended up making an impromptu Sunday lunch with his parents – and the results were tasty! I thought the cooking adventure was worth sharing since we essentially used a hodge podge of ingredients from A.’s mom’s fridge to make the meal. And we saved some ingredients that were slightly past…

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…
