My child won’t eat chicken parmesan but he’ll eat Chicken Parmesan Meatballs so there’s THAT!
I mean… I put it on garlic bread and served it with some spaghetti.
HOW COULD YOU NOT??
This recipe from Alton Brown Everyday Cook is definitely going into our meal rotation. The meatballs are tender and delicious. It’s definitely a fun take on an old classic….one that might get your picky eater eating!
Monday has arrived. Hello!
This weekend we:
This coming week is kinda scattered. I have a bunch of things to catch up on. Some new things to work on and I am taking my niece (with my Mom!) to college. We’re road tripping down to UCSC. Should be fun!

Here’s what this past year looked like- My Everyday Life Week 37
A moment of calm.
Meal prep this week!
I went for a walk and found this….
One of my dreams is to have a water feature. One day!
Saw this while we’re at a baseball game.
Ella! ASLEEP ON COOPER’S BED!!!! (he was at school)
Our living room in progress.
Taco night!
Working at a cafe.
I am 38 years old and I’ve grown to realize that I like a bag with very few pockets. 3-4 max. You can see what my purse goals were in 2007. My brain was very different back then.
In this stage of my life, tote bags are my preferred bag because sometimes I need to bring my office to go. Now if you tuned in before, you might think this is peculiar because I used to LOVE bags with pockets. That’s until I realized that too many pockets mean I have a hard time putting things back where they belong because I forget where they belong. I also can forget to zip zippers because I am always in a hurry. Tote bags are simple, with less pockets and most of them don’t have zippers. Cooper’s new backpack this year has at least 15 pockets with three million zippers.
This year should be interesting.
This is the bag that I currently use. It has quite a history. I bought it at Urban Outfitters when I was in college (graduated 2001). It’s a Levi’s bag so it’s been incredibly sturdy after all of these years. I think you can probably find one on ebay if you’re looking for one.
It made its way back into the rotation in my Summer capsule wardrobe and I might end up using it year round. I don’t feel compelled to jump ship, so that’s good! If it looks like it’s been dyed, it’s because it has! There was a really bad ink stain at the bottom (hello, my name is Tracy and I am a pen addict). To mask the effect, I made it look like there were tons of ink stains (using RIT dye
And this is what I carry around!!!!!! And yes, sometimes it gets way too heavy.
Happy Monday, friends!
Sending love and light to Florida + Houston. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. Stay safe!
Last week was kind of a doozy. Casey was in Brazil for work so it was just Cooper and me at home. Still getting into the swing of school stuff. There have been so many events! We’re also starting fall baseball so our weekend was filled with that. The pace is picking up on the treadmill of life.
This week, I need to carve out some time to look at my calendar. There are a lot of things coming up and I need to ground myself and plan. I’ve been putting it off for too long and now it’s time to get a realistic view of it all. You know? Here are my intentions for the week. I may not do them all but at least I’m figuring it out!
(THANK YOU SALLY!!!!)

We spent Labor Day at the beach with friends!
The weather was weird. It was smokey, overcast, sunny and then it rained.
We had a good time though! Casey was working in Brazil this week so it was just us two.
When friends leave me voxer messages, I make notes.
Time travel.
Nightstand area.
We got Chipotle this week. Cooper was thrilled.
Ella is a princess.
Morning in Mill Valley.
Breakfast with my friend Lisa.
We went to the library where I saw this!!!!!
And then we sat underneath redwoods…
