Gosh, looking back, the exterior of our house come a long way! It’s funny, we never used to think our house looked “hidden” until we started taking out bushes and thorny shrubs, which lead to taking out more bushes and shrubs, which lead to eventually taking them all out. Be gone! We initially took out […]
A big thank you to Zappos for sponsoring this post. *Shop this post below* Before becoming a mom, I had many assumptions about what the “job” entailed. I expected the late nights. I knew I’d probably battle a picky eater. I also realized there would be a need for help with homework. What I didn’t […]
Welcome to another Menu Planning Monday! Here I try to plan out healthy, EASY meals that will get me in and out of that kitchen as quickly as possible while still keeping our palettes satisfied. My good friend and I are doing something called “The Game on Diet” and it’s a whole program based on […]
Mother’s Day means so many things to various people. For some, it’s a day to sleep in, receive breakfast in bed, and to do a fun activity together as a family. For others, it might mean taking some time for oneself and hitting up the spa. And for others, it might mean a nice brunch […]

There has been chill and rain in our forecast lately and I am READY for some warm and sunshine! Spring […]
Welcome to another Menu Planning Monday! Here I try to plan out healthy, EASY meals that will get me in and out of that kitchen as quickly as possible while still keeping our palettes satisfied. We are off to Nevada to visit our family and friends this week, so that means no cooking at home […]
On a whim, I decided to paint the fireplace in our dining room. It’s a fireplace we normally don’t use very often (we have another in the living room) because truthfully, we don’t use this dining room very much. And the reason is that eventually, it’s all going to be ripped out and replaced […]
It’s funny how one project can quickly lead to another, which can lead to another, which can lead to another. After completing our DIY built-ins (post HERE) it left our buffet without a home. So, I rearranged some furniture a little bit and put it in our dining room. In doing that, I then had […]
