The only thing I can think to say about the past few weeks is UGH. That tiny word sums everything up perfectly. The depths of winter have officially tried to sink me. The winter funk has arrived, heavier than ever before.
Read MoreWe are in the depths of winter. I know this because it's a million degrees below zero outside, I have driven six collective hours through blizzards in the past two days and I was nearly in two car accidents this morning.
Read MoreI think fondly of college every time I eat Ramen noodles. I must have feasted on them hundreds of times in that four-year span. You'd think I would have reached my quota, but I can still eat my share. Lately I have been into repurposing the tasty little noodles..
Read MoreMy boys and I are spending quality time together at home today. It's a bittersweet one. My dad and stepmom have just left after almost a week together. We miss them and we miss the action-packed holiday season we just experienced.
Read MoreI was hoping to get this post up before Christmas, but alas. We had three separate Christmas celebrations at our house and welcomed my dad and stepmom in from out of town all in a three-day span. I'm exhausted, so please pardon the tardiness.
Read MoreChristmas is near, Christmas is near! I talk myself into staying sane until Christmas Day every year because once it arrives I can relax, enjoy, disconnect, unwind. On a completely opposing note, the grocery store was frazzling and chaotic this morning.
Read MoreSuch a snowy, cold week it has been here in Minnesota! Our boys are so cutely excited about Christmas. We have about four different Christmas countdowns in our house that are being closely watched. Each morning before school the boys sit..
Read MoreThe snow that fell on us over the weekend seems to have infused our boys with unbridled energy. After school they went straight from the car to the back yard, where they rolled in snow, made snow balls and transported them using a wheelbarrow.
Read MoreHow's your week going? Do you have all of your Christmas shopping done? Has cold weather invaded your neck of the woods yet? It is finally cold here and I do not have my shopping done, in case you're wondering.
Read MoreWhile my cute hubby and I celebrated his 38th birthday out of the house and without children last night (WHAAAT?!), we brainstormed ways to simplify this season. Because I just about lost it yesterday. Learning that my medically-needy son's insurance..
Read MoreI was so excited to hear about a2 Milk®, you guys. You see: my nine-year-old craves dairy. He practically sweats milk. He could consume dairy products all day every day and never tire of them. Milk is the first thing he asks for in the morning and the last thing he asks for before bed.
Read MoreHere we go, December! The month of crazy. I intend to simplify this month every single year, but it is SO. HARD. I'm learning that it's impossible to simplify completely, but it IS possible to simplify in little ways, like by making party food easy.
Read MoreI have been mourning this soup all week. I can't even tell you how much I love homemade turkey stock and anything made from it. If you've never made your own turkey stock, please go buy a turkey just so you can experience it.
Read MoreHosting our first Thanksgiving is in the books! Everything went off without a hitch. The food and company were all incredible. I hope your Thanksgiving was packed with amazing things, as well! One of the fun little touches I added to our day was..
Read MoreAre you ready for Thanksgiving? I'm not. I mean, I'm excited for it but I'm not ready. There is much to be done. By tomorrow. Did I mention that we are hosting? And that we still have boxes everywhere? And that I haven't started cleaning?
Read MoreThere is something about having a nice long BEAUTIFUL fall that makes impending winter not seem so terrible. I had to dig the boys' hats and mittens out of a box in the garage this morning and it got me excited for snowmen, cocoa and skiing!
Read MoreI rarely write posts on Saturday nights. This week evolved into a busy one, so on this Saturday night I am writing a post about one of the best easy dinners I have ever made. EVER. When I pulled this Chicken and Rice Bake out of the oven, I knew it was going to be good.
Read MoreA few nuggets about today, right now, this moment (it will pay off to read this entire paragraph): It has been almost a month since we've been in our new house. The sickness that has cycled through our family a couple times seems to have dissipated.
Read MoreAre any of you cursing the leftover Halloween candy sitting in your house like I am? Candy is impossible for me to ignore. And we have a ton left over. I am talking bags and bags who have spawned smaller baby bags. I've been thinking up ways to get rid of said candy..
Read MoreIf you know me, you know that 1. I love food and 2. I love easy food. I tend to over-pack my life in just about every way imaginable (I'm constantly working on this), so food that is easy to make is an absolute necessity.
