When our kitchen was being remodeled early last fall, we stayed at a hotel for 6+ weeks. We ate out almost every meal. (I won’t lie, I did not hate it.) I did become accustomed to an almost daily serving of Chick-fil-a Yogurt. It was my go to takeout breakfast and it was divine. When […]
2021: The Year of Growth
Earlier today I created a custom planner for one of my teen girls. It was a time and labor-intensive task, but she’s been asking for a while. She didn’t need one for adulting like I offer in my shop, she needed one for “teen-ing.” As I worked on it, I paused as I typed in […]

Knife Skills & Life Skills
When I was feeling so sick last week and my husband was feeling really overwhelmed with all of his responsibilities at the time, a thought occurred to me.

Quarantine Haircuts
We couldn’t help it. We just needed wanted haircuts. I jokingly suggested it to all of my kids one day, but the idea instantly perked Izzy’s ears for reals. She had a lot of hair and she was ready for a change. I’ve cut her hair before, I’ve cut all my kids hair before. It’s […]
