Weekly meal planning: It saves me time. It saves me money. And it saves my sanity. I print out a handful of these weekly meal planners at a time, cut them, + store them in a kitchen drawer. (You can even save the used ones to look back on down the road when you’re stuck.) […]
Read: The Easiest and Most Delicious Chicken Noodle Soup You’ll Ever Have At least once a month we grab a rotisserie chicken from the store and have an easy dinner. Throw it on a plate with a sweet potato and a green vegetable and it makes me feel like a million-bucks mom who slaved over […]
For my birthday last year, Lucas got me a double barrel cider press from a “local” auction house. After driving 2 hours, we show up to the auction house, pay the man, and attempt to shove more than 200-pound press into the back of our mid-size SUV. The trunk door closed with centimeters to spare.

We call it “Sheet Pan.” Here’s my very official definition: Sheet Pan Noun /SHēt/ /pan/ Any combination of protein, veggies, spices thrown together on a baking sheet to make a delicious dinner. This is one of our go-to meals. It’s one of our favorites because it’s an easy weeknight dinner idea. Especially when we’ve been […]
Kid-free, Saturday morning, no plans for the day, list in hand (paper list, of course) My favorite way to go thrifting. Shopping at a thrift store can sometimes seem like shopping at a TJ Maxx or Ross. It’s overwhelming, too many things to sort through, and you can never guarantee what you’re going to find. […]
Being in the military definitely its challenges, but it also has a lot of upsides. One of the biggest ones being the people you get to meet along the way.
