He Cooks! – Homemade Pizza Edition
My Husband claims he is a kitchen disaster. I wouldn’t exactly call him a disaster. But his skill level in the kitchen is not terribly high. Although I really do think he shortchanges himself quite a bit. The Fab Hub has become an expert smoothie maker and he assembles lunch for me and Kidzilla every…
Soup of the Week – Cream of Mushroom
This week’s soup is no-frills easy, friends. I found a recipe for Easy Cream of Mushroom on Pinterest recently and realized it had been quite some time since I had a good bowl of cream of mushroom soup. Cream of mushroom is one of my favorites – provided it’s not the stuff from a can.…
Focus on Routine – Crafting a Plan
It is very difficult to focus on improving our daily routine when every other day is a snow day. Or a delayed opening. Or something. Seriously, how are you supposed to get into any kind of rhythm when there just isn’t even a beat to follow? And hasn’t been one since like…Thanksgiving? There has been…
Soup of the Week – Hearty Tomato Lentil
This soup was not my idea. I would never have thought of making lentil soup. Tammy from Grown Up, Now What suggested it when commenting on one of my other soup posts and it sounded like a great idea. We hadn’t made a tomato-based soup in a while and I was looking for something different.…
Soup of the Week – Italian Wedding Soup Redux
Know what I did last week? I made Italian wedding soup – spur of the moment and without having to hit the grocery store or break a sweat. I even had homemade chicken broth at the ready just waiting to be put to use! (More on that homemade broth stuff later.) It was Tuesday night,…
TToT – Even When I’m Cranky Edition
I have been dumping my items of thankful in a post draft all week. I wanted to make sure that I didn’t forget any moments and I didn’t want to hit the end of the week and feel like I had this big job to finish after what I knew was going to be a…
Soup of the Week – Snow Day Stew Edition
I know. It’s not soup, it’s stew. And it’s not the soup I made today, either. (Yes, that one’s coming, too. Promise.) I actually made this stew on our first snow day of 2014. It just seemed like the right thing to do. The signs were all there. First, I read this post by Phyllis over…
TToT – Warm-Up and Move Forward Edition
So I go hog-wild last weekend and post not one but TWO TToT lists and then… …a very lame Wordless Wednesday (which does indeed have a whole lot of words)… …and nothing else. I have so many drafts in my drafts folder and I am quite excited to finish and post them, but all sit unfinished…
TToT Part Two – A Day with My Daughter
This is a first-ever event, friends. I’m linking up with TToT for a second list this weekend! I’ve seen others do it and wondered, “How in the world do they have two whole lists in that short a time?” Some weeks I have to really stretch my brain to get the first list finished. But…
