Homemade Dried Fruit
Intentions for the Week
Hello friends!
It’s MONDAY! Yet, again. How are we feeling today?
This weekend we ran errands, hit up an estate sale (got some neat things!), had 6 boys and adults over, an art playdate and much needed time in my office sorting papers. WILL I EVER CATCH UP ON PAPERS?!! (no). I am trying to streamline life as we head into the school year. That means I am trying to find a place for everything and put everything in its place. Also trying hard to do as many things ahead of time as I can so I have some down time in the week. Bottom line: I AM TRYING.
If you’re going back to school this week, here’s a post I wrote to help you get your head in the game!
Last week I shot three recipes for One Potato and my kitchen went through the ringer! I am hoping to spend some time doing some deep cleaning things like sort out my fridge and clean through the freezer. It’s amazing what will pile up if you don’t pay attention closely. Let’s take a moment and get our intentions for the week down!

Get Ready for the New School Year!

We are slowly unpacking tonight. SLOWLY. I’ve already gone grocery shopping, gone through the mail and cuddled cats. They’re so happy we’re home. I AM SO HAPPY WE ARE HOME! There’s nothing like a trip away that helps you appreciate your home routine. Also, really happy to be reunited with my bed and my foot massager

My Everyday Life: Week 33
Here’s what this past week looked like: My Everyday Life Week 33
This week we’ve been on the road! My family blew out the last week of Summer vacation on our yearly trip to Tahoe.
This was our first trip to Tahoe without my Mom.
She would be happy that we’ve carried on the tradition, I’m sure.
Been reading You’re on an Airplane
I’ve been staying off the computer to give my brain a reset.
We’ve been going out to eat & eating at home. I’ve had fish tacos twice this week.
Our family friends came to visit for part of the trip. It was wonderful!
Cheese plating with Eileen.
Caprese with burrata, forever and ever AMEN.
The view is unreal.
