At the first sign of fall weather this month I added chili to our menu for the coming week. This dish is one that we look forward to as soon as it starts to get cooler out and we usually make it at least once a month during the fall and winter. I made this … Continue reading Our Favorite Chili
When the start of social distancing rolled around in March I decided I needed to make the most of my time at home. I had really been slacking on reading since Jack was born so I told myself I would spend at least 20 minutes a day reading whether it was during nap or after … Continue reading Recent Reads Review
One of my biggest challenges since becoming a mother has been balancing everything, especially time for myself. Even a year and a half later I still struggle to find balance sometimes.

The biggest difference being that we celebrated the evening as parents with our sweet baby boy. Even though we are almost 11 months into parenthood it still feels so surreal. Usually we end … Continue reading Hello 2020
