It has been a while since I’ve written a Meatless Monday post – and I don’t know why! I’ve had a few meatfree meals lately, but I haven’t taken the time to truly capture them and write down a recipe and then post them. So, today’s meatless post is a meal you can enjoy for … Continue reading Meatless Monday: Easy (and adaptable) Overnight Oats
Those of you who aren’t new around here know that my kids love muffins. In fact, when my oldest was a toddler, we called him the Muffin Man, because he ate so many of them. So since then, I’m always looking for a good muffin recipe that is healthy, easy to make, and kid approved. … Continue reading POWER Muffins (a.k.a.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but my firstborn starts kindergarten THIS YEAR. I could (and should) write a full post on how fast time flies, how I’m not ready for him to go to real school (during a pandemic nonetheless) and also how amazing he is. So instead, I’m taking out my anxiety and … Continue reading Nut-Free Granola Bars

I really loved it and we fully took advantage of it, doing ALL of the things outside in between the rain – … Continue reading When January Feels Like April
Hello from HOT Cleveland. We had a super hot weekend, with temps in the 90s and “feels like” temps getting into the triple digits! That didn’t keep us from doing anything, however. We still had lots of fun! Friday night the four of us went out to dinner at Aladdin’s, a local Lebanese restaurant. As … Continue reading Heat Wave
Well, that weekend went way too fast. Know why? We were hardly in Cleveland at all – we spent 22 hours in Detroit! What does one do with 2 kids when they’re in Detroit for a day?

I can’t say it enough – but I am so happy that it finally feels like spring is here in Cleveland! Could it possibly snow again? Yes, it’s happened before.
