    Community Cookbook

    Several weeks ago as I was meal planning I thought it would be really convenient to have a list of our family’s favorite meals to reference. But, as I started to jot down our list- I realized we don’t actually have a ton of “go-to” recipes! I love trying new recipes, but we only have a handful that we repeat frequently. SO I decided to ask the community on Instagram and you guys SHOWED UP. Thank you so much for all of your submissions! I compiled all the recipes into a list below- organized in the following categories: beef, vegetarian/vegan, chicken, soups, seafood, pork and misc. They are also in…

    How I Use Multiple Notebooks to Stay Organized

    One of the most common questions that I get is how I use my multiple notebooks and printables. I hesitated sharing because it is NOT fancy or structured, BUT for me simple and flexible is what works best- and that is exactly what this is 😉 I’ve tried SO many different planners and bullet journal methods and found that this combination is what works best for me. Having multiple notebooks with different categories helps me compartmentalize and also allows me to keep the writing that I want and recycle the rest. Here are the notebooks I use every week: 1.

    Monthly To Do List Printable

    I like lists because they give me a roadmap of where to take my day/week/month. Without them, I often start to feel overwhelmed, like I don’t know where to start, and then I end up doing nothing. Can anyone else relate?! But the thing is, as much as I love making lists, lately I’ve been tired (hi old friend, pregnancy insomnia!) and honestly haven’t even wanted to spend the time/energy to make lists. I asked myself how I could simplify my lists and came up with this one that will last me all month. I can easily print it off and won’t be constantly rewriting the same things on my…

    My 21 for 2021 List

    When I turned 30 I made a 30 before 30 list and had SO much fun attempting to complete the list. Looking back it was one of the most fulfilling years I have had because I did so many things that added joy to my life. After an overall rough year in 2020, I wanted to have some tangible things to look forward to in the new year and to give my year some direction and focus- so I decided to do a similar 21 for 2021 list! I chose “joy” as my word of the year, so I am also using this list as a way to bring joy…
