Now that my children have been in camp for one full week, I feel like I have a good idea of what is working for them as far as amount of food and snacks I am sending. I really dislike prepping lunches for school and camp but I realized the deconstructed approach I have taken …
I am embarrassed to say that Wildfork has been in my neighborhood for a little while now and I had not gone in until very recently. I blame this on my obsession with buying meat at Costco but I think will have to re-visit this strategy! The first thing I want to say is that …
I am finally starting to feel like the warmth is here to stay and in hopes that this is true, I am writing a very summery blog post. Avocados are now selling at $1 per fruit near me and that usually is the signal that they are in season since they can sell anywhere from …
It seems like the newest topic on everyone’s mind is how to save money at the grocery store. It came up in conversation recently, my social media feeds keep showing me videos and posts on how to do this, and I am even getting emails with articles as well. I am not surprised given how …

Blog post is coming in a little bit late this week due to some very exciting work-related travel but here I am! I didn’t want to skip this week’s topic since I feel like I have not been following all of my own advice. I am writing this post mainly as a reminder to myself …
I never thought I would ever write about something like “appliances.” I guess part of adulting is getting excited about ways to save time.
