A post I've wanted to write for a while, but am just now getting around to. The overwhelm when it comes to trying to choose a functional, well laid out, everything I need in my life planner is a lot every year. I spent years making and printing my own planning sheets out because I … Continue reading A Look Inside My Golden Coil Planner.

Meal Plan This Week.
Sunday - Lasagna with Caesar Salad. I use this recipe from my Betty Crocker cookbook. I'm sure there are much more complicated ones out there, but when I'm looking for a classic recipe I always look to Betty. She's never steered me wrong. She keeps it simple enough that it's manageable and she offers lots … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.

Monday - Crockpot Carnitas Rice Bowls. We've gotten a carnitas roast from Aldi a few times before and it is SO good and so easy. You just toss it all in the crockpot and cook like a normal roast. I'll make rice and a side of black beans when I get home from school and … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.

A September To Do List.
Ah, September, the beginning of apple everything, darkening days, You've Got Mail viewings, sprinkling of stalks of wheat and mini pumpkins around the house, and that crisp feeling in the air that means only one thing - It's (basically) Fall! I have so many things on my list for month. I'm so excited about it … Continue reading A September To Do List.
The Friday Post. [vol. 6]
Weeeeee! This week went fast, didn't it? Or maybe it didn't and it just went by in a bit of a blur for me. We've finally made it to Pizza night over here, and I can't wait. I have a confession. I have not gotten it together enough the last few weeks to make homemade … Continue reading The Friday Post. [vol. 6]
A Day in the Life of an Elementary School Librarian.
I bet you never thought I would get to this second part of my "Day in the Life" series. I shared a morning in the life way back in January and promised I would get a typical day down for you, and it's taken me...a while. ha! Well it's here! I get so very many … Continue reading A Day in the Life of an Elementary School Librarian.
Cozy Soups for Soup Szn.
I know, I know. It's only mid-August, but once school starts, it's basically soup season, right? I think part of these feelings must stem from how absolutely frigid they keep my school library. I need a warm little meal packed from home on my lunch break while wrapped in a cozy sweater more than ever. … Continue reading Cozy Soups for Soup Szn.
Meal Plan This Week.
This week’s meal plan for the curious! Monday - BLTs with tater tots and salad - I always try to keep Monday nights easy, so I’ll make the bacon in the oven (at 400 on a foil lined pan for about 20 minutes), slice up some heirloom tomatoes, add iceberg lettuce because it has the … Continue reading Meal Plan This Week.
