Super Easy (and CHEAP) Christmas Decorating Idea
Many years ago I went to someone’s house during Christmas time and they used wrapping paper to wrap their wall pictures as Christmas decorations. I’ve wanted to give it a try and haven’t until this year when I made it a mission to find Christmas wrapping paper that I loved enough to have it on my…
What did we eat for dinner these weeks? 11.20.23-12.03.23
The past three weeks have been a blur of Thanksgiving week and being sick so it seemed easiest to group a couple weeks together. Here’s the good stuff and thank you to my husband for carrying so much of the household weight over the last couple weeks and thank goodness to the freezer meals that…

We’re running low on freezer meals and I’m hoping to get a freezer cooking session in soon. When days are so busy, it is nice to have one less thing to think about with deciding what dinner will be. Now… just to find that magically pocket of time to make it happen. Monday – Chicken…
No Boil Baked Mac and Cheese
You know me and how much I love yummy food made easy. This isn’t a quick one timewise because it baked for over an hour but putting it together was super easy. AND you don’t have to boil the elbow pasta beforehand. WIN!! My husband and father-in-law were also wonderful helpers and my husband reminded…
