“I’m sorry for the things that I said…when I was hungry…” Oh, hello there. You must have just caught me in a masterful rendition of “Hello” sung to the tune of being hungry. How embarrassing, but also how timely. If you’re sick of stepping foot in any store, grocery shopping, and meal planning after the…

Homemade Chai Tea Popsicles
So I may be slightly obsessed with chai tea. But I am even more obsessed with chai tea in the form of a sweet and refreshing popsicle. It’s not often that something I make off of Pinterest ends up edible, but in this case, we have a winner. Get the easy recipe for homemade chai…
Easy-Peasy Two-Step Pumpkin Spice Coffee
Yesterday, I picked up my first pumpkin spice latte of the season before I hit up the grocery store with the girls. And yes, I won’t lie to you, it was delicious. I, like millions of other people around the world, can proclaim my cliched love for the infamous #PSL. (Sidenote, if you happen to…
Edwards Desserts Giveaway
Well, some bloggers get to review and give away cool things like iPads or Kindles. And as for me? I only get contacted by people who want me to try their deserts. What can I say? They obviously know me well. The people at Edwards Desserts sent me a few coupons to try out their…
Weekly Meal Plan, Featuring Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto

Monday: Burgers and sweet potato fries Tuesday: Crockpot orange chicken, rice, and stir-fry veggies Wednesday: Broccoli and leek soup with salad and…
Man-Friendly Meal Plan
I had some work to get done on Sunday, so Ben offered to take over the meal planning and grocery shopping for the week. You can guess what that meant. A whole lot of money spent at the store and a whole lot of junk food in the cupboards. The kids wanted Reese’s Puffs, my…
A Month of Meal Planning
A while ago, I posted about my quest to overcome my fear of budgeting and meal planning. I printed out these cute menu cards (click the picture to download and print them from Lovely Little Snippets) and armed myself with Pinterest recipes and some tried-and-true family favorites. And I haven’t looked back since. Honestly, now that I…
Lazy Sunday Links + An Irish Cream Chocolate Chunk Cookie Recipe To Make You Melt
Man, it sure is getting warmer around here. I even busted out my spring jacket this week, although I am one of those people who is naturally always hot. And not in a good way, but more in a I’m-always-sweaty-and-carrying-a-kid-all-frazzled-like hot. Anyways, so I’m simultaneously looking forward to warm weather (no winter coats and boots…
