Reading Recap (yes, again)

 Long Island Compromise

THIS WAS A WILD RIDE!!! I was completely unprepared!  This was recommended to me on Audible so I dove right in and within the first 2 minutes my eyes were pretty much bugging out of my head.  While I felt like the author could have toned it down a bit I can also see where without them you really wouldn't have gotten the full picture.  I found myself feeling sad for and repulsed by characters throughout the book and sometimes at the same time.  Overall, I'm STILL thinking about this book and LOVED the ending.

Swedish Meatballs

I made this on Monday night and y'all - it is unreal EVERY SINGLE TIME.  It's in my top-five recipes of all time and I just love it so much.  The ingredient list seems a little bit daunting but you probably have a lot of it on hand and I can't even begin to describe just how delicious this recipe is.  The sauce is out of this world good and the meatballs themself are pretty incredible too.

Arkansas Weekend


On Friday, Luke and I packed up and headed out to Fayetteville, Arkansas for his second indoor track meet of the season.  We had a cute little tag-along this time as well ;)  We left around 7:30 and after a couple of pitstops (one for bathroom one for an acai refresher - hahaha)...

Amazon Lately

It's been a couple of months since I've shared my Amazon lately finds and I'm excited to share a few fun things that have shown up on my porch lately.

 This homework folder is THE BEST and G needed a replacement after first semester.  She keeps all her homework papers in there and theni s able to bring just this folder home instead of bringing home a bunch of binders.

Puzzling ;)

   It's no secret that I LOVE doing puzzles.  LOVE THEM!  I've always enjoyed a puzzle and once my kids were all out of toddlerhood have pretty much always had one going during summer and breaks from school.  During quarantine back in 2020 my love really ramped up and this is when I was able to get my kids a bit more in love as well.  Today I thought I'd share some of my favorite kinds of puzzles, brands of puzzles and answer some puzzle questions I get ;)

Broccoli Cheese Soup

I had a TON of broccoli left over from a veggie tray I put together on NYE and so I decided to make a quick and easy broccoli cheese soup.  It was SO GOOD and Dave, Luke and I gobbled it right up and I for sure have plans to make another pot tomorrow if we're home with ice/snow.
