My Relationship with Cooking, Told in Selfies {eMeals Review & Giveaway!}

Dear Diary: once upon a time, my relationship with buying food, cooking food, and eating food went mostly like this:   And then I got married, had a kid, and life got more complicated. I still love to cook, and of course, I love to eat, but when it comes to thinking about accommodating more than two people, on a daily basis, and spending multiple hours making grocery lists, shopping, and preparing food, well… “Is there no way out of the mind?”   The monotonous task took all the enjoyment out of cooking. I’m no stranger to meal planning services, but I...

Veggies, Here We Come! #DigIn

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot. I’m still amazed that our seeds are growing. From the first day I found out that I’d be working with The Home Depot on this gardening project I’ve thought, “Gawd, I hope I don’t screw up these plants.” My fear was that I’d write this wrap-up and have nothing but wilted, browning seedlings to show. But not only are the seedlings growing, they seem to be growing very strongly! When we started to see the seeds sprouting, Hubs explained to our son the idea of germination, in kid-scientific terms. Little B listened...

Purple Berry Pie Smoothie

If you love the taste of summer berries encased in buttery crust, this smoothie may be for you. While there isn’t any butter or sugar involved, this sweet treat makes a great breakfast smoothie or a snack–and it tastes like your favorite pie. Yum!

The One Where I Have a Mental Breakdown, Promote Religion, & Then Get You Free Stuff

I *literally* just finished a conversation with my husband about my perfectionism (it’s a problem–surprise!). Part of my struggles with perfectionism involve this blog: there’s always something more to do, another thing to fix, to add, to share. I have a zillion ideas and can’t seem to get them all out fast enough and with enough zest, zing, zip. There are so many areas to explore, to learn more about, and ultimately, to share with all of you. Not a day goes by when I don’t think, “Oooh! I’ll have to share that on my site!” Or, “Oooh!...
