He brought back some of the most beautiful looking salmon filets you’ve ever seen. …

    My Spring Flowers

    I wanted to share with you guys everything I planted this year.  I am hoping this will be my third year to keep everything alive and have added a few more pots around the backyard this year.  I typically have a black thumb, but am getting better and better at this.  All of these spots get partial to full sun every day, so they need to be hearty enough to stand the heat and if I forget to water them for a day or so! I had previously bought some pre-made mixed pots of flowers at our local garden store, but really wanted to try making the mix for myself…

    5 Hacks to Stop Hating Your Laundry

    I hated laundry.  It was literally the bane of my existence.  I casually mentioned to Matt that I was thinking about sending out all our laundry.  I had seen a handful of ads on Facebook that would pick up your laundry, wash, dry and return it neatly folded in 24 hours.  He looked at me like I was insane.  What he actually said was, “don’t you think you hire out enough?”  Ouch.  But, he has a point.  I am a stay at home mom that has a part time nanny and a housekeeper that comes every other week.  It’s not as if I don’t have time to do the laundry. …
