I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of routines.
I always wake up at 6 AM. I always eat the same breakfast (well, unless this is on the menu). I always drink a cup of green tea in the morning. I always make Mark breakfast.
And, most importantly, we always go to Trader Joe’s on Saturdays.Read More
Ahh, Monday.
No matter how wonderful your weekend was, no matter how relaxed you felt, no matter how much you wish it were longer, Monday always comes. In full force.
Consider this recipe your Monday coping mechanism.Read More
Howdy ho, readers!

Do you smell that cinnamony, pumpkiny, all-around perfection that is fall?!
It’s going to be here SO stinkin’ soon!
In honor of this glorious season, here’s a little somethin’-somethin’ to ease you into those crisp, beautiful fall mornings. Meet the best dang cup of coffee you’ll ever have in your life.Read More
Happy Thursday, wonderful peeps!
We’re so close. SOOOOO close to a holiday weekend. That glorious fact makes me all kinds of happy. Sleeping in. Eating. Celebrating. It’s all a mere 2 days away.
We can do this.
I know a grocery trip (or two) are in your future in preparation for your delightful Labor Day plans. Or work week lunches. Or school-packing endeavors.
I don’t know about you, but I spend an incredible amount my week at grocery stores. I secretly love it, though. Perusing through all the aisles, picking out my favorite items to concoct my favorite meals, snacks, and desserts.
It’s better than Christmas.Read More
Howdy-ho, lovelies! Happy Monday and a very happy August 31 to ya!
Please, can someone tell me where in the world the summer went?! I can’t believe we’ll be greeting September tomorrow.

Call me crazy, but I love mornings.
My internal clock always goes off at 6 AM, so I almost always am up to an early start. If it’s a work day, I’m getting dressed, doing the whole makeup and hair thing, making Mark and me breakfast, and slowly easing into the inevitably crazy day ahead of me. Truth be told, I’m at my most productive in the mornings; therefore, I always try to pound out as much of my to-do list as possible before noon.Read More
I’m a huge fan of keeping meals as simple as possible during the week.
I don’t know about you, but by the time I get home from work on a Tuesday, my brain is pretty much fried beyond the point of talking, let alone putting together an impressive, elaborate meal.
For this reason, Mark and I get into meal ruts. Bad. We make the same roasted vegetable salad every week, at least once a week. We always have some sort of Mexican food, whether it be burrito bowls or tacos. We always have popcorn. It’s hard to change it up when we have these tasty meals down to a system.Read More
