I can’t believe I’m writing this post. Again. Last Friday, July 22, the whole family accompanied me to an ultrasound appointment I had at my doctor’s office. Spirits were generally high since we’d gone to an ultrasound two weeks prior — when I’d been 8 weeks and 2 days along — and everything looked great. …
Creamy Ranch Italian Chicken and Potatoes {Instant Pot}
While I have no ambitions of being a straight-up food blogger, occasionally I’ll invent a recipe that’s just so good I have to share it. (And sharing it on my blog makes it super easy for ME to access it from my phone anytime I want to whip it up myself for dinner.) Ever since …

I always thought they were so fun, and they definitely pushed me to seek out more adventures and memorable experiences than when I didn’t make one. Now that things are opened up again and basically …
Summer is Here, But the Flower Farm Isn’t Planted Yet! {June 2022 Goals}
Time flies when you’re racing against the sun to get everything planted out! We weren’t able to start planting out the warm-weather crops of the flower farm until the very, very end of the month since we had several late frosts right in a row. Once the 10-day forecast showed we were the in the …
Goodness and Beauty {3}
Like the rest of the nation, my heart has been heavy with the news this week. I’m sure like many of you, I took more moments than usual to slow down, hug and cuddle my children, and be more fully present with my family. In times of heaviness and worry, I find that it’s more …
