My Recipe for Spaghetti & (Gluten, Dairy, Grain-free) Meatballs
Spaghetti and red sauce is something that just about everyone can agree on. It's just delicious, and comforting, and tastes like childhood. Meatballs, however, can be a little tricky once food restrictions come into play. My approach to food restrictions is to really nail the main part in a way that everyone can enjoy, and […]

Casual Friday: The One Where Chris Convinces Everyone They Need A Bidet (& A lot More)
It's Casual Friday, so we can talk about toilets for a minute--right?! As soon as I mentioned to Chris that I wanted to share a little bit about the bidet attachment that's on our toilet (this one is similar!)--he insisted on sharing his thoughts. I'm basically in competition with a bidet for the number one spot in […]

The Wallpaper is Up in Greta's Room + Carpet Samples (Hooray!)
Greta's room is all wallpapered and my heart is melting!!!! And she won't stop screaming! She LOVES IT! It was a little process to get to this point--deciding on the wallpaper and whether or not to wallpaper the slant part of the ceiling or not (so glad we did!) And then smoothing out the texture […]

One Pan Roasted Chicken & Vegetables with Fall Spices
"Healthy" cooking is tricky to nail down, but I think a big step is knowing and seeing everything that's going into your food. And as easy as it is to grab a rotisserie chicken from the deli at your grocery store, a quick look at the label often shows more unknown ingredients than you probably […]

Casual Friday: Fall Decor, Soap Sets Roundup, Spending Billions of dollars, The Perfect (Affordable!) Oval Mirror, Dreamy Art and more!
Yesterday on Instagram stories, I shared decorating our kitchen for fall in real time. I really focused on creating an autumn feeling with practical items--apples, branches cut from outside, a cookbook opened to a fall recipe displayed on a stand. It was so fun sharing with all of you and the response was motivating. I'll […]

Whenever I hear someone make the claim that an allergy-friendly version of something is "better than the original" I tend to roll my eyes. "I just have them wrap my burger with lettuce - you don't even miss the bun!!" Nobody believes you, sit down. But after years of having to navigate various food allergies […]

I got diagnosed with Hashimoto's over 6 years ago and what started as a strict gluten free diet has gradually morphed into something more restrictive as the years have passed, as I have had more children and as my condition has advanced. This is not an opportunity for medical advice (I'm under the care of […]

Prepping a Textured Wall for Wallpaper
Some textures on walls and ceiling are pretty aggressive. This can especially be a problem if you want to put wallpaper over the texture, like we're planning in Greta's room. We have wallpapered over a slight orange peel texture in our last house with no issue but anything more than that, you'll want to smooth […]

How to Craft the Perfect Charcuterie Board (+ a couple easy condiment recipes)
The word "charcuterie" has expanded a bit beyond its classic French roots, and is sometimes used to describe a collection of meats, cheeses, fruits and other finger foods arranged together. I understand that purists scoff at this change, but I care less about what I call it and more about whether or not the people […]

Something about me is I love to sit on the floor. Even subconsciously I'll sometimes choose the floor over a couch, chair or, well, bed. I think it started when I had our oldest daughter and I found myself sitting on the floor to play with her and be closer to her. And now, 9 […]
