I haven’t made a new post in a bit. As life is getting set to take on a much busier season, I have tried to be more intentional in spending time with my family. Please hang in this new time with me. With a new baby to be here anytime, I have tried to ensure …
It’s only Wednesday. I feel like this week should already be over! I have done a lot this week though at the same time, it seems like I’ve done nothing. I blame it on full force nesting and stressing. I spent Monday moving our furniture around in our front room to try to make it …
How are we so close to the start of school? Some days it feels like it is still the start of summer. I blame the recent “cool” front we have had that has made some of the evenings feel more like Fall or Spring. Some days it feels like school should have already started! The …
I love EASY dishes for dinner. I don’t like to go for dishes that call for pages of ingredients. Simple. That’s what this Mama wants. With 3 littles running around and needing me I just don’t have time for elaborate meals (and even with all the coffee I rarely have the energy for that). If …
Day 2 would best be called Misadventures in Meal Prep! It was a disaster. Okay, disaster might be a strong word, but a lot went wrong. At the end of my prep on Saturday I realized I was 1 bag short of chicken so I had ordered some fresh chicken (it was $1.99/lb vs $2.33/lb). …
Saturday was the perfect day to meal prep! My husband and I made a plan for him to watch the kiddos so I could get everything done. I love to meal prep freezer meals because I love just taking something out of the deep freeze, throw it in the microwave or InstaPot and go about …
Picture a day that has been a hot mess day (almost every day in our house especially with everyone home and having been cooped up since March). All you want to do is take a few minutes to sit down but it’s 4 pm and you know you have to start getting dinner ready to …
Right now in the United States we are in full on COVID-19 mode. The news, media, and social media is constantly talking about COVID-19. While it is important to stay up-to-date on the current illnesses, there is an illness that will be making it’s return for the season soon that has me on edge: RSV. …
For the millionth time today I hear, “Mommy can we…” fill in the blank with any number of requests. The house is a disaster, my feet hurt, I’m tired, and I just want to sit and have everyone quiet. Today we’ve gone for a walk, played outside in the oppressive heat, had breakfast, lunch, and …
Birthday parties are so fun, aren’t they? There’s the family, the friends, the community, the fun, the laughter, and the CAKE! But the cost can add up quickly if you aren’t careful. Even when you are it can still be costly. It doesn’t have to be though! When my daughter turned ONE, I don’t even …
