I typically plan my meals out on Sunday night because my daughter and I take our weekly trip to the grocery store on Mondays. We get it over with at the beginning of the week and trek our way through a couple of stores in the morning when it’s not very crowded. This is what […]

Summertime and the livin’ is easy! Ella Fitzgerald knew what was up. Anyone else feel the same? Being at home with our daughter most of the time has taken me back to summers as a kid.
