1. We officially have a preschool graduate, and I can hardly believe it. Lucas had his graduation ceremony on Wednesday evening, and it was great. I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to go for most of us (me, because I'm a hot mess and emotional, Lucas, because whew, he'd had a pretty ...
Friendship Dairies Giveaway {CLOSED}
Hey, friends! I know I haven’t really been popping in much on the weekends lately, but I have a fun little giveaway to share with you all that I thought you might enjoy. So if you’re anything like me, then you probably love yourself some cottage cheese now and then. Typically, my favorite way to ...
Just Like Cookie Dough
Okay, I know I live in the northeast. I know it's the dead of winter. And I also know this is nothing new...BUT. When it's negative two degrees outside? Ehhh, I'm sorry but that is just downright miserable. Only 26 more days until sunny Mexico, baby! So I never came back to visit you all after ...
Something I Haven’t Done In Months
Guess what? This morning I did something I haven’t done in months…I ran. Alright, maybe calling it a run is a bit of a stretch…let’s call it a light jog. Hey, whatever the heck it was, it felt GREAT. Ever since my decision to cut back on exercise, most of my cardio has come in the form of some ...
Twenty Years From Now…
Alright, I have seriously reached my quota for weed pulling this season… I don’t know what has gotten into me. Maybe I’m subconsciously trying to earn some “Wifey Points,” seeing as how my contribution to the yard work up until yesterday has been pretty slim. Either way, I was so happy to see that ...

I just got back home from helping my dad do a little more painting over at the house this morning and was absolutely famished by the time I actually got here. I opened up ...

Return to Morning Routines
This morning has probably been one of the most productive mornings I’ve had in weeks. Since the whole unemployed thing happened, my regular routine has been fairly nonexistent. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m sleeping the day away…I love mornings to much to do that. But whereas I used to be ...
Two of My Favorites: Shopping and Baking
Hey Hey! How’s everyone’s Saturday been so far? Mine has pretty much been split between shopping and baking…two of my favorites! The shopping was more of a “time to stock up” trip to Sam’s Club, but we ended up with some goodies. It’s amazing how much the money adds up when we shop here. But ...
Pumpkin Addicts Anonymous?
In honor of it being the official first day of FALL, I saw no other choice but to continue to incorporate some pumpkin into today’s mid-day meal. :) I may be lacking in variety today, but certainly not in flavor! My pumpkin-licious bowl includes: 3/4 cup 1% cottage cheese 1/2 cup pumpkin 1/4 ...
