I’ve been told to try that pasta brand “Banza” for a while, but I figured it’d taste bad like the other pasta alternatives I’ve tried! I ordered it in my grocery pick up to try and I actually really liked it. This recipe calls for lots of fresh veggies and a little chickpea pasta. I... Continue Reading →
Our day started off a little rocky when Carter found out he had a snow day today. He LOVES school and was so bummed it was cancelled! But I knew we’d make the best of it. Both kids were up early and ready to get the day rolling! I personally haven’t been sleeping well this... Continue Reading →

My crock pot game has been ON POINT lately. You know you have a good recipe when your husband has seconds and thirds on helpings! I’ve been using it several times a week for our dinners. This fall just feels different. Payton is way more mobile and loves to play all day now that she’s... Continue Reading →
I always try to take the time to write in a journal or blog when I'm feeling something. I find that by having this blog as one of my outlets, I am able to really just unload (or unleash lol) all of my feelings. While I'm not always the best at expressing my feelings speaking... Continue Reading →
