We’ve got a bad Friday night takeout habit—not that the takeout or getting takeout is bad, per se, but spending $50 every Friday isn’t the best. So I’m trying to keep the freezer stocked with some Trader Joe’s staples, and at the mid-week mark, predict what we might have energy for on Friday. Long week?…

Asian Chicken Noodle Soup in the Time of Pneumonia
Some weeks are for blogging. For sticking to your commitment to post a couple times a week, to create, share, expand. And some weeks are for…survival. This week was the latter. Important work events, busy schedules, and a near hospital admission for our toddler (which still resulted in a pretty bad illness—fun fact, unless you…

The morning hustle can be tough. Clothes, teeth, hair, get downstairs, breakfast, make lunches, where’s my coat, my shirt is the wrong color, what time is it, I need my sunglasses!

A Roast Chicken is a Happy Chicken

There’s too much to say and share to narrow this space down to vintage quilting patterns from early New England settlers (just made this up, but not a bad topic). If…
Feels Like Friday: Pumpkin Chip Cookies
One of my favorite parts of reading blogs is looking forward to compelling series—content publish around a centralized theme at pretty typical intervals. Like Motherhood Around the World on Cup of Jo. So, so good. This isn’t Motherhood Around the World, but it’s what I’ve got right now—Feels Like Friday. Because Friday is a good…
A Meal Plan is a Life Plan
Meal planning=life. The dinner dilemma is a challenge as old as time. Millions of blog posts, thousands of cookbooks, a common discussion among friends. What to have for dinner, and, more critically, how to logistically get that dinner on the table is the heart of the question. And I have the answer. Make a plan….
