Palm Sunday & Weekend Shenanigans

March 27, 2024

I was super excited Thursday, alone... the rest of the family did not feel this excitement, because a friend dropped off a big bundle of Red Russian Kale. Let me tell you how fast I nixed that salad I was making and started cleaning and sautéing kale. My go-to greens recipe is easy - sauté sliced shallot and minced garlic in butter. Toss in your greens. Season with salt and pepper, maybe a splash...

Weekly Meals on Wednesday

March 20, 2024

Meal planning at our house isn't the fun it use to be. With the kids being older, and trying to find meals Harrison will eat we have turned to a rotation. I'll start sharing what we cook again, but only a few days a week change. We also now plan from Thursday to Wednesday for the sake of grocery pickup without too many substitutions. Thursday - Grilled Porkchops, Chopped Salad Kit (Asian this...

Sammys and Chunky Squirrels

March 15, 2024

Somehow we've made it to another Friday. Based on the state of the floors in the house, you could argue that we made it by the skin of our teeth. Children's Ministry at church as been preparing for their Easter program. Harrison has been willing to get on stage and even has lines. I'm hoping he can muster up the courage to be on stage for the performance, it tends to get stage fright when he...

Green Eggs and More Quilting

March 12, 2024

Harrison surprised me this week. My ultra picky child, who had attempted to convince me that foods you don't like are actually allergies... tried an egg at school. Granted it was just a nibble, but curiosity and informing him on what is healthy has always gotten him to try something new. Luckily that Sam I Am show on Netflix has had his attention enough to try this egg. It's finally good...

More Than 5 Things on Friday

March 8, 2024

 What did I do last weekend? Based on my camera roll it appears I fermented things and sewed. [One] I tried my hand at French style yogurt. You use the Oui brand as your based and heat whole milk. After I finished painfully heating milk I read that you can also make it out of ultra refined Fairlife. So while this first batch was vanilla with blueberry preserves, I made a batch last night...

Learning to Quilt When You Can't Even Sew

March 6, 2024

For my birthday this year I asked for a sewing machine and a few items I needed to attempt to start quilting. Does this signal a millennial mid life crisis? More than likely. Do I have experience quilting? Absolutely not. Do I know how to sew, again no. But I did watch hours of Youtube tutorials for how to set up my machine, called my seamstress mother, and then watched some more tutorials. I...

Happy Birthday Harry @ Sloomoo Institute

March 5, 2024

 I've really come to prefer (as mom) an experience gift over just a party. Parties can be such a hit or miss, and if it's a miss then you get to deal with a child you is disappointed because no one came. I feel like half of us definitely have awful birthday times. Not only is Feb. a hit or miss weather month, Harrison and I also have Mardi Gras birthday's. This means parties can unhappily...
