I’ve been trying to get in the habit of menu planning. Last year, I began adding a meals section to the weekly plan in my bullet journal. My intention was to plan for all meals, however, that doesn’t always work. If I followed through on my dinners, though, I felt successful. I would say that…… Continue reading chaos control: meal planning
The Christmas fun has begun around here. Though the decorating is only half done at our place, we’ve been busy with preparations for some church events: the Christmas parade in town, a fun night out for the ladies, a Christmas concert and gift baskets. Days before our ladies’ evening, I began gathering supplies: card stock,…… Continue reading let’s be jolly: ladies’ christmas craft night, plus making christmas banners & assembling a charcuterie board
Last time, I mentioned I have advent calendars on my brain. I admit we often resort to the cheesy foil wrapped countdowns, though we have had Playmobil, Lego, Lindor Chocolate and Body Shop (that one was a treat for me) calendars in the past. Even the cheap-o ones can be fun, especially when they’re Star…… Continue reading all in my head: advent reading plans
I seem to be the sort that gets caught up on a tangent. My sister-in-law noticed when I began pinning millions (okay…a bit of an exaggeration) of short hair styles on Pinterest. She texted me with a, “Are you cutting your hair?!?” to which I responded, “I’m thinking about it. What are your thoughts?” Naturally…… Continue reading it’s all in my head: advent calendars
As I mentioned last time, my closet purge began when I needed to pack for a trip down South. It was back in March, and the weather here was still very wintery. Yes, this is what March looks like where I live. Bear in mind, also, that the airport is close to four hours away.…… Continue reading trippin’: packing a carry-on
So… I was going to wait to do this until I was finished my spring cleaning, but it’s been a bit of a slow process around here. It seems the warm weather motivated y’all long ago, but we still have the furnace going most days around here. I did begin the purging process in my…… Continue reading spring cleaning ~ closet purge
Do you have a project that has loomed over you for ages? I have had one. That’s right…I finally got around to painting my df girl’s wardrobe! I shouldn’t tell you we’ve had this hand-me-down dresser since 2013, but it’s the sad truth. It is sturdy and practical; heavy as all get out and was dark…… Continue reading point for me…finally painted that wardrobe
I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making a buddha bowl or burrito bowl. In case you’re unfamiliar, a buddha bowl (aka buddha’s delight, or Luóhàn zhāi) is a Chinese vegetarian dish traditionally eaten by buddhist monks. As far as I can tell, the burrito bowl is Chipotle restaurant’s Mexican take on the buddha bowl.…… Continue reading chipotle taco bowl
Cold winter days and a piping hot bowl of soup. Made for each other. I love me a delicious, steaming bowl of soup anytime, but when the temperature drops, I start planning on my next batch. A few weeks ago, we had invited some guests for lunch after Sunday’s church service and I decided soup…… Continue reading soup’s on ~ taco soup
So…right before Christmas I went and hurt myself. Christmas baking is on a bit of a back burner (pun intended) because of it. As I was cutting Bible verses to put in our candy packages for the parade, I managed to be distracted enough to grab the blade of the paper cutter. Our ladies’ Bible…… Continue reading taste of christmas ~ baking to-do list
