Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 32
Morning magic.
Getting my desk in order for magic making.
READY SET GO
This week I worked on a new zine for my shop/magic kits.
Everyday Magic!
They’re going to be yellow. Why yellow?
Because YELLOW is associated with:
Doing back-to-school shopping this weekend? Refer to my Favorite Pens while you shop! Here’s how I get my head in the game for Back to School prep!
I also have a newsletter! If you subscribe, you’ll be the first to know when my Magic Kits are live + info on the courses I am preparing to teach! Today’s image is a little teaser of what’s inside them š
When I made Casey this Crunchy Ramen and Cabbage Salad for lunch on Monday, he said, “You just tricked me into eating SO MANY vegetables!”
He proceeded to eat another bowl after that proclamation…
Hahaa.
(He’s not wrong!)
I saw this recipe in Bon Appetit in June and wanted to try it because we always have ramen in my house because we have a growing boy who snacks 24/7 and I’m always looking for additional ways to use it.

Obviously this salad will be going into the rotation if I can trick a person into eating more vegetables! I made some adjustments because the original recipe called for way too much dressing and sugar.
I liked that the ramen flavor packet was used in the dressing. Definitely added an umami zing. What I’ll change for next time is to add some sriracha and/or jalapenos (we love spicy!) to the next batch and maybe add the noodles in when I’m ready to eat in order to preserve that ramen crunch I love. If you let the noodles sit in the salad for a bit, they turn soft and almost cook? Preserve the ramen crunch! Bon appetit!
Hello, MONDAY!
I hope your Monday is off to a good start! This weekend Cooper guest played for another baseball time and while the guys were gone I did some major cleaning around the house. I shared in the process my stories on Instagram (@shutterbean). My office is pretty organized now! I just have a paper pile (or two) to go through. I also got a few workouts in (yay!), spend time in my hammock reading this book and went grocery shopping with Cooper. I’ve been teaching him how to price shop! Let’s have a moment to figure out what we’re doing this week. Here are my Intentions for the week! CONTINUE READING
Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life Week 31
Wedding bound!!!!
Spencer + Bailee are MARRIED!!! What a beautiful ceremony.
What an amazing dress!
I teared up many times.
So proud of my nephew and the man he’s become. XOXOXOXO
Currently July 2022
I can’t believe Cooper’s summer vacation is almost over! The Benjamins did some traveling this month. We drove down to Huntington Beach for a week-long baseball tournament and then flew up to Idaho at the end of the month to see our nephew get married and hang out with family. It was nice to get away! One of the best things about visiting my in-laws is that we get to hang out by their pool and I am never asked to cook so I get a break from cooking and cleaning- A TRUE VACATION indeed.
This month I drew sunflowers in my Currently Workbook! I colored them in with my favorite Prismacolor pencils.
Good things that happened this month:
A little more about July!
