I donât hear many people talking about shopping at Aldi. And we donât go as frequently as Iâd like because our nearest location is not too convenient. And they donât have every single thing we need. But what they have is excellent and I want to share our latest Aldi run. Prepackaged Meals Aldi has […]
We have a tiny project to share this week. And while not a total remodeling project, and just a man cave refresh, it did require a big mess and a little gnashing of teeth. If youâre interested, keep reading! This all started with the brick wall in hubâs man cave. We liked it, but that […]
My sister Monique made this yummy dish inspired by Serious Eats during my Sacramento visit. It was so good that I decided to make it my own while using one of my new jalapenos. Using the Instapot made this chili verde chicken a snap. A traditional recipe would have been on the stovetop for an […]
A tiny little clothes closet refresh has been on my agenda for a couple weeks and I finally got to it. Motivation was in short supply lately. Maybe cooler, shorter days have something to do with it. Maybe a full(ish) schedule is the problem. I donât know, but I tackled it and youâll be surprised […]

Costcoâs bulk sizes on many items (like paper goods and OTC drugs) is no problem if you have the storage space. But itâs a little off-putting with produce that wonât keep when youâre a […]
Are you enjoying fall where you are? It seems to be everyoneâs favorite season. And while I wonât claim it for myself, I will share my fall morning routine. In other words, waking up with fall. I like waking up all my senses and this is how. Open It The mornings are finally crisp. Itâs […]
Country living is fantastic. Except the part where there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. When we stay in the mountains, I swear thatâs the worst part. Getting every single morsel into the trash can and not letting anything down the drain. And while Iâm so grateful for my disposal, Iâm careful what […]
A potpourri post is where I sit at my keyboard with a cup oâ joe and chat about this and that. Pour yourself a little drink and join me, wonât you? The ides of October have arrived and there is no denying the holidays are upon us. Every year I think, âHow can this have […]
