this post contains affiliate links I love homemaking - it's definitely my favorite job of all time! Accomplishing the goal of a peaceful and cozy home requires a lot of work, and while I'm glad to do the work, it's always nice to have things that make the work a little easier. There were three… Continue reading My 2017 Household and Homemaking Favorites

Magic Food {Menu Monday}
Last week my husband came home early from work and got right into bed. That only happens about once a year - usually he just pushes through whatever is bothering him and soldiers on. I knew it was serious when he came home early! My pantry wasn't fully stocked for the level of comfort… Continue reading Magic Food {Menu Monday}
Are You Looking For Validation or Inspiration?
Often I will observe a woman either on social media or in public who has done nothing to make herself presentable. She is dressed in either lounge clothes or exercise attire, has crazy bed head and is wearing absolutely no makeup. The first words out of her mouth (or in her caption) will be something… Continue reading Are You Looking For Validation or Inspiration?
The Happy Planner {Flip Through and Review}
I've been using my Happy Planner for over nine months now, and it's safe to say I don't know how I ever lived without it! Daily use of the weekly spread has helped me to become more efficient and mindful throughout each day. Here are a few examples: tracking and remembering to complete recurring tasks… Continue reading The Happy Planner {Flip Through and Review}
It’s Still Summer! {Menu Monday}
Happy Monday! Even though the internet is almost trembling in anticipation of fall (am I right?!), it's definitely still summer where I live! We are still enjoying cold breakfasts, light lunches and suppers that don't require much time in the oven. I use my crock pot much more in the summer than I do in… Continue reading It’s Still Summer! {Menu Monday}
A Surprising Look At My Summer Bucket List {2017}
There's one thing about having an internet presence (no matter how small) - once something is out there, you really can't take it back. Posting your summer goals on the internet is definitely more public than posting them on your refrigerator. I really dreaded the task of revisiting this summer's goals - there were several… Continue reading A Surprising Look At My Summer Bucket List {2017}
Summertime Eats {Menu Monday}
Happy Monday! Although I don't share my menu plans every week as I have in the past, be assured I haven't dropped the habit of weekly menu planning. We've been eating a much healthier fare since September, and I was really tired of the things I'd been serving. Cooking for a picky eater makes healthy… Continue reading Summertime Eats {Menu Monday}
My Afternoon Routine
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of routines. What you might not know is that I'm naturally a very lazy person. Routines really help me stay on top of things in my home and not waste my time! I usually have an hour or so between the time I get home from work… Continue reading My Afternoon Routine
My Summer Bucket List {2017}
I've said it before - summer is my least favorite season. When the end of May rolls around I find myself bracing for the heat, staying indoors as much as possible and counting the days until November when it’s cool again. There's always something to be grateful for, and I'm grateful for air conditioning! :)… Continue reading My Summer Bucket List {2017}
Hosting Summer Brunch
In my mind, brunch is synonymous with luxurious and upscale living. I often make brunch for us on Saturday mornings, but I've never served it when entertaining. I decided to recreate the feel of a country club style brunch on Mother's Day with a pretty buffet and a menu that was different than what I… Continue reading Hosting Summer Brunch
