This isn't a book review, but I wanted to share that I came across this book idea from a post on Instagram or maybe on Amazon somewhere or a blog about meal planning... I can't remember. I watched @FedandFit's IG channel for prepping these meals and fell in love with the simplicity and the ease … Continue reading Cook Once, Eat All Week

My first month at Crossfit
I've completed my first full month at crossfit and definitely have seen some progress in how much I'm able to do and how my body is starting to change. Here's a breakdown of how many days I've worked out this past month (the prior month I believe I ran 1-2 times, that's it!): My goal … Continue reading My first month at Crossfit
Another Oil Change, Thanks Chris!
This month I started something new which I'll share with you in another day or so. Therefore, I was a little sore and not looking forward to getting under my car to change my oil as I do every so many thousands of miles. Chris was kind enough to pinch hit for me as long … Continue reading Another Oil Change, Thanks Chris!
Spring Plant Propagation
This spring I mentioned I've taken a lot of gardening classes offered at one of our local parks. Our county wide park system offers great programs year round and spring always happens to be when I sign up to learn a ton about gardening! Recently, the last class I took was on propagating plants. When … Continue reading Spring Plant Propagation
Woodworking for Littles
We've always been a household of doers and makers. Lately, our Monkey and Crab have wanted to get in on the real action and skip the toy hammers and fake nails. They've always been interested in real things, but I think Chris and I are finally comfortable with their skill levels to let them practice … Continue reading Woodworking for Littles

Originally, I wanted to set it up to bring more pollinators to my yard for our vegetable garden in the summer, and for our apple trees as well. After taking the class … Continue reading Plants for Pollinators

After taking the class, I realized there are a TON of other plants in my yard I now know how to prune, shape, … Continue reading Learning Pruning Basics
Our Own Holiday Baking Championship: Gingerbread Cookies
I was not on the Holiday Baking Championships, but I've seen enough of it recently to want to bake some awesome gingerbread cookies. I made delicious gingerbread cookies over a week ago and they were so good, I never had any leftover in our home to give out at work. So, I worked tirelessly on … Continue reading Our Own Holiday Baking Championship: Gingerbread Cookies
Another Fall, Another Oil Change
We had a long weekend break, so it was nice to get some items done around the house. This time, Chris was nice enough to get some action shots of me changing my oil. You cant see it here, but I'm intensely using a wrench to get off the oil filter cap. This is serious … Continue reading Another Fall, Another Oil Change
