As a working mom it can be challenging coming up with recipe ideas, remembering all of the ingredients at the grocery store, and then simply getting dinner on the table with kids running around wanting your full attention after not seeing you for the day. My husband and I were running into a rut with mealsRead more
It feels like we are coming upon our last few snow days in Wisconsin. That could just be wishful thinking, but it has really warmed up lately and most of the beautiful snow we played in is now melting away. Point in case that winter is almost over, we had a very hard time findingRead more
Our favorite time of the day, bath time! We love bath time in our household because Evelyn likes to play and splash around, she comes out squeaky clean and smelling like lavender and it’s a relaxing way to begin her bedtime routine. I’ve taken so many cute photos of Evie enjoying her bath. I loveRead more
Breakfast on the weekends is a pretty big deal in our household. Not that we plan it this way, but it seems my husband and I take turns cooking and choosing the menu. I think he usually ends up cooking breakfast more often than I do, but for the most part cooking is a jointRead more
Think gooey, fudgy, delicious dark chocolate cookies! Even better, add adorable pink and red heart sprinkles and you’re all set for Valentine’s Day! I actually had leftover ingredients from a Christmas cookie baking day at which I was going to make peppermint fudge cookies, but ran out of time. I wanted to make good use ofRead more
I come from a family full of gamers. Whether it’s watching sports, taking part of pick-up games, or playing board games my family is fully indulged in the culture of games. We had quite the Game Day this past Saturday filled with a competitive hockey tournament and multiple games of Settlers of Catan (our current family favorite). You’re right toRead more
Valentine’s Day is such a sweet holiday! Now that I’m a mom, it’s no longer just about fancy dinners, flowers and romantic gifts. Don’t get me wrong, those things are wonderful, but it’s also a great holiday to include the kiddos in on. The day is a nice reminder to show loved ones that you care for them. Just a simple Valentine’sRead more
Don’t get me wrong, I love having plans and fun things lined up to do on the weekend, but I absolutely cherish a plan-free weekend when it comes around. That is exactly what happened this past weekend… zero plans. My husband played in a hockey tournament in town so Evelyn and I got to hang out,Read more
One of my goals for this year is to read more books. I spend so much time reading little bits and pieces of news, social media and emails. I realize this is how society works these days. We are fast-paced and want the short version of whatever we’re working on so we can move onRead more
Brrrrrr! It is ZERO degrees here in Wisconsin and the “feels like” temp is even worse. It has been a pretty mild winter up to this point, so I haven’t been as motivated to make some of the warm and cozy winter meals I typically like to indulge in. But now that it’s ridiculously cold outside,Read more
