It’s Monday! Woohoo! *insert eye roll here. We’ve had a LOT going on in our house the past few weeks so meal planning and grocery shopping has been tough. Normally I play volleyball on Sundays and Mondays and that is coming to an end so I’ll have more time to plan/shop/cook. I’m so excited about […]
You ever hear that phrase? It takes a village to raise a child. Well, turns out it’s true. And while we don’t have a lot of family near us, our village/community is made up with some pretty amazing friends. I hate listening to people piss and moan about how they can’t stand their parents or […]
Holy crap – my baby starts school tomorrow!!! I’m excited and anxious and I doubt I’ll be able to sleep tonight. Why is this so hard??? Our weeks are going to get crazier and crazier and I definitely need to start planning better again. We decided to start a tradition of going out to dinner […]
Happy Labor Day! I hope you are enjoying time off and spending some good quality time with your family! It’s been crazy and super busy in our house and I haven’t always been meal planning but I am determined to get back on track so that we have a plan now that school is starting […]
You. Guys. So I got this adorable little Zip and Zoe backpack (+ Safety Harness/Reins) through a Mom Marketer program (Babymel) with my daughter in mind. I figured, it was the perfect size for her and she could take this with her to daycare/school and put a few of her favorite things in it. It […]
It has been a very long time since I’ve posted any of my meal plans. It has been a very long time since I’ve posted anything at all. (More to come in a separate post.) So here is my very first meal plan since we’ve been in our new house. <3 Over the weekend we […]

The ‘R’ word. Would you say it in front of my daughter? Is there ever really a good time to use it? NO. There may not be anyone around at the time that you wouldn’t necessarily say it in front of, but there are always people around that may be offended. Someone they may love could have a disability. Please remember that.
I don’t mean to be harsh but….scratch that, yes I do. Seriously people. If you are sick, STAY HOME. No, really, I’m not even kidding. I’m not sure people understand what happens when you come to work sick and you ‘think you’re ok’ but really you’re not. When you’re sitting in your cubicle coughing and […]
Coming off ANOTHER PACKER WIN!!! If you can’t tell, we’re big Packer fans in this house! I even made an amazing dinner during the game of Pork Tenderloin, Brussel Sprouts and Garlic Potatoes! It was amazing and it was all on 1 pan! I’ll have to write up a recipe for that, because we will […]
