Hello there. We face another Monday. We’re here. We’re alive! What were we put on this Earth for? Let’s find out.

I know, I know. Let’s just ease into it. Let the coffee kick in first.

This weekend we went to Home Depot, did stuff around the house (fixed our bedframe) and put up shelves. We rested and then I attacked errands and had my Dad over for Sunday night dinner. Weekends are far too short, don’t you think?

I spent some time Sunday night working on a meal prep:

Fun things we’re eating from a fridge cleanout:

• tuna & garbanzo bean salad  (similar to this one)
• sausage soup
• banana bread

A goal without a plan is just a wish, so let’s nail down some Intentions for the Week!

Hello! Happy Monday, friends!  Cooper has Monday and Tuesday off of school so we’re enjoying some family time this week. Hopefully we will get to do a little family adventure.  Over the weekend we went to a crab dinner with my dad & friends and I painted the main wall in my office green.

I LOVE A FRESH COAT OF PAINT!

I’ve been in a cooking rut for the past few months.

I’m hoping to turn it around with some playtime in the kitchen.

Anything you’d like to see? How can I help? Wanna point me in a direction? HELP.
