Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 6
A wild Friday night. LEO MOON!
We’re both curious by nature.
This week I watched an Albert Einstein biography and took notes.
This is how I like to unwind.
A color scheme that changed my brain.
A tree my dad planted.
The weeds are coming.
The puddles are flowing.
Welcome to I love Lists! It’s Friday. Pull up a chair and let’s surf the net together!

Stop the presses!
My child eats noodles now.
He eats baked spaghetti with meat sauce and ramen noodles now so that means I have two options added to my weeknight meal lineup. Color me EXCITED.
He’s still quite particular about the noodle I use and not just any broth will do. The thing is, the flavor packet you get in his favorite ramen is filled with an ungodly amount of salt and there are chemicals in there I can’t pronounce. When I partnered up with Imagine Soups last year, I learned that they make their own organic ramen broth! It’s been a great alternative to the MSG filled flavor packets and he enjoys it, so we are all good.
We’re still working on adding toppings to his bowls of ramen, but for now, we celebrate his affinity for noodles.
Us adults are fans of toppings as you can see:
With this Mushroom Ramen, my goal was to create something hearty and healthy. Ramen is a great way to use up leftover vegetables in the fridge. I sauteed mushrooms in garlic and added them to my ramen with handfuls of spinach, some broccoli, and an egg. To make it spicy, I add some sriracha and because I believe a good ramen has to have an acid component, I added kimchi. It gives it nice heat as well. I love how something simple can be elevated with a few ingredients! CONTINUE READING
In 2016, I put together a ladies craft night with coloring books. It was FUUUUUN and I was hooked on the magic we made.
I’m hoping that 2017 brings more and more ladies craft nights!
How do you plan a get-together??? You start with a TO DO LIST:
ART + FOOD + SPIRITS + LADIES= Ladies Craft Night
Valentine’s Day edition!
Here’s what the past week looked like on My Everyday Life- Week 5
Einstein has been creeping in my life lately. I mean….I was him for Halloween and I keep seeing him. What does that mean?
Cooper’s current color scheme.
I’ve always got the greens.
Primary colors at grocery stores.
Finding light at Home Depot….of all places.

Welcome to I love Lists! Let’s see what’s up with the internet this week:

I’m having a few friends over this weekend to make Valentine’s cards!
There will be plenty of wine, maybe some calzone and definitely this Herbed Goat Cheese because no party would be a party without a fancy cheese & bread situation.
I spotted this recipe in Ina Garten’s new cookbook- Cooking for Jeffery and immediately thought of my mom.
My mom loves Ina and she also has a very similar appetizer in her own repertoire.
She serves her Herbed Goat Cheese with a crostini and we all plooooooow through it.
Though, I think my mom’s version might be heated and there’s garlic in it? I’m not sure.
The goat cheese is soft. The herbs are fresh. The smashed peppercorn is my favorite part. Wait. It’s probably the bread and how it gets a little oily. Sigh….
This weekend:
Art will be had. We’ll laugh. We’ll have deep conversations and make some magic.
I’ve been looking forward to it alllllllll week.
