Yesterday, I almost poked my eyes out. The girls were just…a lot. Emotional, cranky. I was much of the same, if I’m being honest. I didn’t get out of my jammies until 7pm at which point I showered and put on clean jammies. We then watched Onward which you guyssssss….so cute. Mark and I then watched ...

Family Friday (vol. 108): Living in a COVID-19 World (April Edition)
Early April Edition, I should say. Things seem to change day-by-day, sometimes faster than that. Also, how was my last Family Friday post on February 14th? For me, the time is flying. Or, the days are long but the years fly by...that kind of a thing, for sure. This was the first work week I was ...

We aren’t ... Read More about Vegan Whole Wheat Banana Nut Pancakes
No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bars
I don’t want to whine or complain, but I do want to be real. I’m on an emotional rollercoaster and I’m not the driver. I don’t even know who’s driving, but it isn’t me and I’m dealing with that…poorly. My emotions oscillate day by day, sometimes hour by hour. I’m in a leadership position at work. ...

Sweet Thai Basil Chicken + Weekly Menu
We’re entering week 2 of full-out COVID-19 social distancing. It hasn’t seemed quite as long for me because I was at work on Monday and Tuesday and was reassigned to screening patients on Thursday. I did leave the house today (Sunday) – a car ride to the park and then to pick-up a pizza from a local ... Read More about Sweet Thai Basil Chicken + Weekly Menu
Blackened Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa + Weekly Menu
I generally have no “real” excuse for going a week without posting. But my excuse is now COVID-19. I was generally doing okay until this morning. I work in an out-patient facility that is part of a LARGE health system. I knew going to work today, that all employees had to enter a single door and ...

Lemon Parmesan Shrimp with Broccoli and Cauliflower
This whole spring forward thing has me all out of sorts. The past few mornings have been brutal and I’ve felt as though I could easily sleep another few hours. This, coming from the girl who is generally bounding out of bed at 7am or shortly thereafter, even when there’s nothing forcing me to do ...
