Surprise!

-

One of my co-workers gave me an ice cream maker! I was talking about how I wanted one but kept putting it off, and she said she had one in her car, and she'd been trying to get rid of it for months! Mmm...good things to come.

February Recap, March Reset

-
Image
I was recently inspired by one of my favorite YouTubers  to do a monthly recap and reset. I don't know if I'll keep it up, but here's the first one at least, recapping February and looking ahead to March! Highlights -My mom, dad, and brother spent a weekend with us. They got to go to N's belt testing for her orange stripe in taekwondo and one of E's basketball games. -We had a Super Bowl party at our house! There were so many good friends, so much good food, the game was fantastic, and Rihanna...come on. When I was pregnant with my second child, I could barely stand up straight without vomiting or having an asthma attack. Riri is kinda making the rest of us look bad. Crochet projects I finished I didn't keep track in February, but I plan to do this going forward. This year, I decided that I'm not going to buy any new yarn until I use up my current stash, so it'll be interesting to see how much I can work through in a month. Books I finished Spare by Pri...

My 99 in 999, Part 2

Years ago, I came across a friend's blog about 99 goals she wanted to accomplish in 999 days. It sounded like a fun idea, so I decided to  try it myself ; and I had a great time with it! Not long after that challenge ended, Tom and I started a combined 99-in-999 on which we...didn't really make much progress. 😩 But, given my penchant for lists and crossing things off of them, I've decided it's time to try this again, so I'm excited to say that I'll be embarking on a new 99-in-999, starting June 1! A few things have changed since the last time I did this, though, and many of my goals will reflect that... 1) I became a homeowner. Tom and I bought our first house three years ago. We love living here, but it could use some updating (the house is older than either one of us). Additionally, I've been a little slow when it comes to decorating and what-not, so some of my goals will involve putting our own personal touches on the house and continuing to ma...

Lasagna Queen

-
Until a few weeks ago, I had made lasagna maybe three times, and each time it had come out a runny mess. But no more. OK, maybe "queen" is too dramatic of a word to use, but I feel like I have finally brought this dish into submission, thanks to my secret weapon: oven-ready noodles. I don't know what possessed me to volunteer to bring lasagna to small group, but there it was, and two pans of it nonetheless. Then I remembered my track record with it, and I was suddenly overcome with this feeling of "what have I done?!" I found some recipes online that looked promising (lots of good reviews, in other words), and we headed to the grocery store. That's when I saw them...oven-ready lasagna noodles, right next to the regular lasagna noodles, for the same price. It was one of those moments where the box looked like it was glowing, and you could hear angels singing...it sounded too good to be true! So I read the back of the box, and it turns out that there really ...
