As I sit here typing this review, I am wearing the sweater that I kept from my first Stitch Fix installment. It is the perfect substitute for a t-shirt – soft, warm, but still looks like I bothered to get dressed. The tags are still on my other keeper, but in its defense, our temps are still in the 30’s and I’ve not yet begun wearing tank tops.
Read MoreYou guys. I know the internet is full of images of things you can do with your waffle iron. I know you’ve pinned them. I’ve pinned them. And there they sit. All lonely on my pin board waiting for me to get on board and actually make them. Last week, I finally made hash browns in my waffle iron. With tater tots. And they rocked.
Read MoreMy husband and I used to be spontaneous. If it was a Friday and the older kids were not with us for the weekend, we would end up in some random town trying a meal at a random hole in the wall. Then we had two more kids. We don’t get out much anymore.
Read MoreI’ll admit to being in a bit of a wardrobe hole. I want to dress like a grown-up, really, I do. Can we talk about how hard that is to do when you are either doing dishes or at the grocery or shuttling kids to lessons or cooking? You know what I’m talking about. I know you own more than one pair of yoga pants. And when was the last time you actually did yoga? You see what I’m getting at?
Read MoreI’ve spent the last week, ok actually several weeks, telling myself that it is time to get organized. It’s time to make a blog plan. It’s time to make a human plan. And a meal plan. It’s time to write down my personal goals for the year. And my parenting goals. And the list doesn’t stop.
You know how this goes. January 1 hits and everyone is talking about goals and personal growth and organization and words of the year. It is invigorating. Except when you are exhausted. When you are exhausted, the thought of making a plan is more than daunting. All the things just swirl around in your head. I’ll say it. I am exhausted. I am down right overwhelmed. I don’t even begin to know where to start.
Read MoreI mentioned last week that this year is all about exploration. And waffles. Did I mention the waffles? Waffles are the new cupcake-macaroon-donut. I just know it. I am going to be right there with those waffles as they ride into their 15 minutes of fame.
Read MoreHappy New Year! I’ve been thinking about this blog quite a bit over the holiday “break”, and it turns out that I am still quite bored with menu planning. Yep. Total shocker.
I’ll continue to post our weekly menu plan on Pinterest if you are needing a little planning fix but I’ve decided not to continue to post the recipe links here on the blog. To the extent that we make something from a recipe that is not already online (which we will), I’ll try to post a review that includes where the recipe came from. Does that work for you? Excellent. It works a heck of a lot better for me.
Now, what am I going to write about? If you’ve met me, or read me, or been anywhere in a room near me, you’ll know that my energy and focus and attention span are all over the map. There are so many things that I want to do and to learn and to experience. I want to be all the places and see all the things. I want to paint all the colors. I want to cook all the foods. I want to bake bread. I want to make crafts. I want to speak another language. I want to open a beignet bus at the base of Bald Mountain. I want to get my kids to stop whining.
