A Week of Easy Dinners What a weekend! We had a birthday celebration Friday, two days of a volleyball tournament inside a convention center, a middle school band concert and family photos for a local magazine article. I’m looking forward to Game of Thrones and an early bedtime! It’s the last push of the school…

Friday Love List.0405
Gadgets, Tools and Kitchen Finds I love baking cookies, pizza and even homemade dog treats, and sharing with friends and my puppy. I’ve been using my Joseph Joseph Adjustable Rolling pin on repeat.

Weekly Meal Plan // February 24-March 1
Officially wiped out. We had our school fundraiser last night and I didn’t go to sleep until well past midnight. At 6:45am, the alarm went off for a volleyball tournament for my youngest. Painful. I’m finally back home, feeling totally cross eyed, and can’t wait for bedtime. Before we can get there, let’s plan our…
