Barn Doors and Donuts

Sunday, February 21, 2021Sunday, February 21, 2021 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

We had a lovely Valentine's weekend together as a family. It is cold, snowy, and winter here, but we made the best of it enjoying each other and Chris bought me my favorite local "vlugen" donuts (stands for vegan/gluten-free). Don't these look delicious?! They are my favorite, especially the chocolate frosted! I'm thankful that in … Continue reading Barn Doors and Donuts

How to Turn Your SUP Standup Paddleboard into a Kayak

Sunday, August 16, 2020Friday, January 29, 2021 ~ Kate

I searched all over the internet to find any idea for how to make my standup paddle board have the option to become a kayak. Some brands sell attachments, but the cost wasn't worth it to me, nor did I want to screw anything into my board. In addition, other than adding a cooler to … Continue reading How to Turn Your SUP Standup Paddleboard into a Kayak

Quick and Easy Two Ingredient Foaming Hand Soap

Sunday, May 3, 2020Thursday, January 28, 2021 ~ Kate

When all the store shelves became bare, I wasn't worried about a few items that had disappeared. For one, we had enough soap because I've been making my own foaming hand soap for well over a year now. It's super simple, cheap, and great especially if you have any issues with all the chemicals in … Continue reading Quick and Easy Two Ingredient Foaming Hand Soap

Testing Out Many DIY Face Mask Options

Saturday, May 2, 2020Thursday, January 28, 2021 ~ Kate

You don't even want to see the first cloth mask I went out in. It was a no sew idea: cloth napkin folded over two hair ties with a tissue folded inside of it. I think it was about 3 inches thick... Okay, okay, here it is! My first cloth-napkin wrap around mask before it … Continue reading Testing Out Many DIY Face Mask Options

Easy DIY Scrap Wood Sewing Table

Friday, May 1, 2020Monday, January 25, 2021 ~ Kate

After I set up my sewing machine, I quickly realized that working on snack tables wasn't going to cut it. While we aren't going shopping much at all these days, I knew I was going to need a slightly more sturdy sewing/craft table to work on in our office space. Chris at first was reluctant, … Continue reading Easy DIY Scrap Wood Sewing Table

Outdoor Project: Shutter Color Change

Tuesday, April 28, 2020Thursday, January 28, 2021 ~ Kate

For over a year now, Chris has been learning and planning to repaint our shutters. Our old roof was green, so we waited until after we had a new roof (Jan 2019) to change the look and feel. This was a rather inexpensive project, as we purchased new shutter clips in navy blue from Home … Continue reading Outdoor Project: Shutter Color Change

In-Depth Review of the Peloton Digital App

Friday, February 28, 2020Sunday, February 7, 2021 ~ Kate

I joined Peloton Digital back at the very end of November 2019; three months to be exact! I signed up originally for the FREE 30-day trial to see if I would be motivated enough to workout at home with their digital videos, as I was searching for an alternative to crossfit. With the Peloton Digital … Continue reading In-Depth Review of the Peloton Digital App

Creating Atomic Habits

He writes of concrete methods for changing your habits and reshaping your life in a manner to support your goals and who you want to be or what you want to achieve. From work to personal choices, to changes in health and fitness lifestyles, this book … Continue reading Creating Atomic Habits

A Quick Recap.

Wednesday, September 18, 2019Thursday, January 28, 2021 ~ Kate ~ 2 Comments

Whew, I cannot believe we're halfway through September and on the back end of it already. We had quite the busy end to our summer, then we jumped right into the back-to-school chaos the fall brings. We're finally settling into our routines again, which feels awesome. I thought I'd have more time to write a … Continue reading A Quick Recap.

Scootering Around Town

Friday, August 2, 2019Thursday, January 28, 2021 ~ Kate

Everything's a bit out of order, but I tried to put these posts in some sort of combination that made sense for the topic and the photos. With our new scooters, I've been riding pretty much anywhere I can and it is so nice not to watch my gas tank sink to empty so often … Continue reading Scootering Around Town
