Here’s my gameplan every January to keep my spirits high and make some of my favorite memories during these cold, grey months.

After so many meal-preps, we’ve landed on quite a few that we happily repeat.

It’s good to shake things up every once in a while!

Our home for the holidays, including a classical living room and kitschy kitchen!

My favorite Christmas tunes, both classics and fun new stuff.

I’m big on traditions. Every year we host Thanksgiving and it’s full of fun things like pumpkin shootouts and tree farms!

Transitioning our home and yard from Halloween to Autumn.

My go-to playlist for Halloween.

A splash of spooky here and a dash of haunting there; here’s our mini haunted house tour!

My go-to playlist for Autumn.

My go-to playlist for summertime.

If you want a dinner that is clean, full of protein, and feels like comfort, you’re in the right place. We love to use spicy italian sausage and letting the zucchini and lemon juice make a light zesty sauce.

My essentials for a bright spring day.

Only 5 ingredients to make this very healthy low calorie dinner! The grape tomatoes burst and create a very rustic “sauce” throughout the dish and you will not believe the flavor!
