Crockpot Dinners That Save My Sanity

January 3, 2026

Crockpot season is my favorite season in the kitchen. But honestly… I use the crockpot all year long. In the colder months, it brings warmth and comfort to our table.

What We’re Reading Lately

December 2, 2025

Books are a big part of our family life — the kind of “big” that shapes our days without us even noticing. We love piling together on the couch or sitting on the floor beside the bookshelf, reading one story after another. I get into character voices (of course!), and the kids eat it up […]

I’ll be honest — I’m not a huge fan of the changing seasons. Autumn is beautiful, and I love the rhythm it brings… but winter? Freezing cold isn’t my favorite. There’s a part of me that dreams about living somewhere warmer — trading snow and ice for mild winters and sunshine. But this is where […]
