My cooking is super seasonal. It’s all soups and pasta in the fall and winter and sandwiches and salads in the summer. So, since the warm weather has arrive (and seems to be staying), I’ve been rolling out all my favorite salad recipes! This week a friend and I made Greek Quinoa Salad in a […]
The is a sponsored post in partnership with The Little Gym and The Motherhood. When it comes to fun summer activities I’m all about the element of surprise. So, even though I had a trip to The Little Gym on my radar, I didn’t tell Jemma and Max until a few hours before. They. Were. […]
The clock is approaching 1AM and my littlest bumpkins will be awake for the day before I know it, buuuuuuut I’ve had this post in the works for way too many days so, here I am. Enjoy these recent faves … ONE — We keep our house cold. The heat doesn’t turn on until 59 degrees. […]

Friends, I bought my Instant Pot in 2016. Then I shamefully let it sit in the box. In the cupboard. For months. I knew I’d probably love it, but I was so hesitant to get started.

This is Eli. A gentle, roly, happy little bubs who bops along with his family and thinks life is grand 95% of the time. That remaining 5%? It has all been thanks to teeth. The same week that big sister Jem lost her two top teeth, Eli got his two bottom teeth. Back to back, […]
Throughout my day, I buzz nonstop. There is always something to do, someone to care for. At night, when I reflect back on what I did or did not accomplish, I always find it hard to summarize what happened. Because really, what did I do? Anything worthwhile? Anything that matters?

Our family loves the library. Like, really really loves it. We visit once a week and between real books and audiobooks, we probably have 20-30 checked out at all times. Thanks to the library we get to cycle new books into our home all the time. For free! It’s such a gift! One way I […]
