Well what an crazy, fun, exhausting 8 week run it has been. I have loved every moment (well almost every moment, haha :)) of being home with my kids and have relished the opportunity to spend more time with them. I have enjoyed the slower pace and feel like my mind, body and spirit are […]
I am sensing a pattern here…. it snows, and I make a warm, comfort meal to cheer myself up. I also have been creating meals based on using up weird, random things I have in my pantry, so this Chicken Broccoli Orzo Skillet was a perfect way to use up the half eaten bag of […]
I am not a huge fan of snow, but I put on my big girl pants and suck it up during winter because I LOVE Northern Michigan summers and falls so much. Obviously I am not every excited about these April snow showers we are experiencing and even less excited because it is making it […]
Happy Saturday! (Although doesn’t every day feel like Saturday? 😉 I had some ripe bananas in the freezer that we took out this week to make banana muffins. It is my Aunt Juju’s recipe, and her recipe is the best I think because of the sour cream, makes them super moist and delicious. Growing up, […]
I have been trying to keep my healthy eating in check while in quarantine, but sometimes I just seriously need some chocolate to get me through the day.

Quarantine Day #10. We ran out of one of my staples in the house, energy balls. 😱 I start my day with these pretty much every morning with my cup of coffee. The whole fam enjoys them and it is an easy filler to pop in my kids mouths while they wait for me to […]
Quarantine Week #2. It is Tuesday. Normally on a Tuesday at this time, I am in the office, about 3 hours into patients. Today, however, I slept in till 7:30, cuddled on the couch with my kids while they watched their “show” and had some coffee. It is a weird new normal, but something that […]
It is hard to believe that summer has come to a close and the kids are already Back to School. I am still in shock over dropping my oldest off at Kindergarten! I could have used a little more summer with my kiddos, but the routine of fall always feel nice once we get back […]
