A lifestyle blog
I had planned to post this early this morning, wake up before the kiddo, make some coffee and sit down to post. Unfortunately, plans changed when our little guy came down with a nasty cold last night and he and I were up most of the night together 🙁 I'm not sure he's ever been [...]
We don't eat dairy in our house very often. But when we do, its on a pizza 🙂 When we first did a round of Whole 30, pizza was obviously out of our dinner rotation. Which is sad because I was just starting to be on a first name basis with everyone at our local [...]
Wow! It has been a minute since I posted anything on the blog!! I think May was my last post. I really can't believe it's been that long because the time has flown by over here. This was an intentional break. Back in May, hubby and I decided to get in touch with our realtor [...]
There was a point last week that I ate Mexican food 3 days in a row...not mad about it, even a little bit. Day 3 happened to be these Carne Asada Tacos. And let me tell you...if there had been leftovers, I would've had them the next day and made it 4 days in [...]
A fresh & light take on the Greek Chicken Gyro and a quick and easy weeknight meal!
Anyone else feel just a little bit relieved when you're husband's favorite football team isn't playing in the Superbowl? Don't get me wrong, I always hope for the Seahawks to win every week and make it to the big game but the couple of times they have made it, my husband has literally been a [...]
I went to Trader Joe's for the first time EVER not too long ago. I know, I know...I live under a rock or something. #1 I was SHOCKED at how low my total was at checkout. Especially since I got what was on my list as well as about 10 different recommendations from people on [...]
This dish just screams fall to me! The squash, the apples, the herbs. Made me want to curl up on the couch with a blanket and a glass of wine, which is exactly what I did right after eating this 🙂 For the presentation that you get with a stuffed squash, the prep and hands-on [...]
We officially have a crawling baby! Which means, my life is about to get a little more hectic. As of yesterday, Landon is on the move and ever since then he does not want to be confined in any way, not in the bouncer, not in the playpen. Just wants to be able to move [...]
Well, today the baby got himself from lying on his tummy up into sitting position for the first time. I love each new skill he develops but this one has mama in a panic! Crawling is just around the corner which means I'll be spending this week baby proofing!! And...it also means there will be [...]
Well, another year older. Not sure about wiser 🙂 One thing is for sure, this birthday felt different. In the past, I haven't really wanted to celebrate my birthday, do anything special or draw any sort of attention to it. I wouldn't say that I dislike birthdays, just haven't wanted to make much out of [...]
I feel like I'm a bit obsessed with sheet pan cooking these days. Anything I can throw on one pan, toss in the oven and POOF! dinner is done!?!? Count me in! Store this one under SUPER fast and easy weeknight meals that taste delicious!! I mean, it's pretty hard to mess up tacos and [...]
I was really feeling that 70°F weather yesterday! And now...back to rain. I can't wait for more consistently sunny weather. I have so many projects I want to do outside, particularly, finally finishing the back deck. However, that requires paint, so I need to wait for a stretch of at least a few dry days. [...]
I had intentions of posting this much earlier in the week for your Easter dinner ideas. Now, here it is, Friday afternoon, and I'm just getting around to it. SMH. I'm just going to stop planning blog posts by the calendar. I can't ever seem to stick to it. Anyway, if you are still deciding [...]
Ok mamas...I now have a baby who is suddenly sleeping 10-11 hours at night only waking up once, maybe twice AND taking 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps!!!! I have made a couple changes recently, most notably to his feedings. But I'm wondering, is this normal that there is a shift around 5 months and [...]
Any stay at home mom's have trouble keeping track of what day it is? Everyday, literally, everyday, I have to double check what day of the week it is! I guess it doesn't help that the little man and I don't have a set agenda, like classes or school, to keep me on track. And, [...]
Both my boys are sleeping at the same time so I finally have some time to post! And by both my boys, I mean my son and my husband. Hubby has been home the last few days; you would think it would be easier for me to get things done when he is home because [...]
Happy 4th of July weekend!! With a 3 day weekend this year, I'm sure a lot of you are celebrating with friends and family and indulging in food and fun filled BBQs so I thought I'd compile a few of my favorite past recipes that we continue to go back to again and again, especially [...]
I was actually about to blog something different but saw photos of this frittata and realized I never shared it! Crisis averted 🙂 I made this as part of Easter dinner and it was delicious. Makes a great side dish or appetizer for a spring dinner party. On another note, my friend, J Soltman Photography, and [...]
The dogs have been awake since 4:30am...(insert annoyed tone of voice here)...bad news, this will be an extra long Monday...good news, I have time to blog! Side note, I really need to look into a doggy daycare close to home so I can wear these pups out a couple days a week. I follow [...]
