Well hello there Monday. May you be quick and full of lots of good things! How was everybody’s weekend. I knocked out quite a few things this weekend including finishing painting our playroom, cleaning up my Instagram account (follow me here) and trying out a recipe from Pinterest that had been pinned way too long ago. It ended up being a hit for 3 out of the 4 of us. Spoiler alert, it wasn’t the children that didn’t like it. Insert eye roll emoji. In case you are looking for something new, this White Cheese & Chicken Lasagna was all sorts of cheesy and pretty easy to make, but be prepared it makes way…

Soft & Fluffy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Now that I’ve got (and aren’t afraid of) my Kitchen Aide mixer, a whole new world of recipes has opened up including finding the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe. If you like soft, fluffy cookies, then this recipe is for you. In full disclosure, these cookies were good, really good, but not my absolute favorite texture of a cookie.

Lucky for you, I’m still on the hunt and plan to try out a couple other recipes which I’ll post as well and then we can have a cookie judging contest. By eating all.the.cookies. What You’ll Need: -2…

After 8 months of living in our new house I’m finally getting around to decorating the rooms. Jack’s was the first to get done since he’s two and has no opinion on how I decorate. The six year…

Swap Shopping & Consignment Sale-ing
Consignment Sale-ing (v.) to shop at consignment sales. Let’s make this word a thing, ok? If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time you know I love me a good deal. What you might not know is just how many things, especially kid items, I purchase from consignment sales, Facebook Swap Shops, and even my favorite Goodwill. Everything below was bought from one of those three places and for a fraction of what they would normally cost. Some items were brand new with tags still on them! So, how can you score great finds like these? Well I’ll tell you! But before I answer some of the most…
