Comfort is KEY!
Well into day 5,250,323 of this sit at home on your butt and check the pantry for something new to eat every 5 minutes (sadly, it's not just the kids), I have quickly adjusted my go-to clothing options. There is no reason to be all dressed up (and by dressed up, I mean even in… Continue reading Comfort is KEY!

What’s for Dinner?
The age old question that typically leads to cheers from Justin and groans from the kids (honestly, if it's not gummies or ice cream, I'm not sure they would ever cheer. NOTE TO SELF-Create gummy dinner recipe). Weeknights are generally chaotic and I know they will only become even moreso, with all of the extracurricular… Continue reading What’s for Dinner?
