As I’m preparing for a little Galentine’s Day party one of my teen girls is hosting tomorrow, I thought how I should share my simple way to make Chocolate Covered Strawberries. I’ve been seeing postings in my area where chocolate covered strawberries are being sold for $4 each. I don’t begrudge these people making money […]
Doritos Valentine Printable
My little man loves Doritos so much. He dressed as a giant bag of Doritos for Halloween last fall. He has an amazing sense of humor, so last fall when one of his classmates said “you eat Doritos so much that you’re going to turn into a Dorito.” He thought that was hilarious and he […]
Tuscan Chicken Pasta (Gluten Free)
This is the recipe most requested by my friends. Anyone who tries it, asks for the recipe. It is just so stinking good. We have it every couple weeks, because if I wait too long between eating it, the cravings get too strong to bare. I’ve only ever made this gluten free, but I’m not […]
A made bed gives us hope every day.
A few years ago, a video went viral about making your bed and it has stuck with me. I watch it every now and then because the message is so good. (Don’t worry, I’ve attached the video below, so you can watch it too!) If you want to change the world, start off by making […]
12 Cookies (a poem by B. Johanson)

4 Routines to an Always-Clean Kitchen

To Do Lists vs. Planners
I love a To Do List as much as anyone. Lists in general are one of my favorite things. Sometimes I’ll just make a list for fun, and sometimes I’ll do a cathartic brainstorm of all the things on my mind. Lists don’t always need to be functional, but a To Do List by nature […]
My One Word for 2022
I’ve been doing a one word goal for a few years now. I still have regular goals that aren’t bound by the New Year’s holiday, but I don’t think I’ll ever make a traditional New Year’s goal again. There’s something so beautiful and cathartic about reflecting on last year’s word and then shifting my focus […]
