Garbanzo bean salad // flavors of the season {family recipe}

This garbanzo bean salad is one of those easy-peasy recipes that just came together by itself. It combines the fresh flavors of cucumber, cherry tomatoes and green onion while the beans add protein and bulk. Make this while you still have all those fresh summer veggies available! I promise you won't regret it.

5 ways I'm prioritizing my health right now

Quarantine weight gain has made itself known at my house. I have noticed my jeans feeling a bit snug. Not shut-in related but a contributing factor of said weight gain is also the horribly hot weather- we haven't been doing regular neighborhood walks and it just seems everything is adding together to put me in a mood. Instead of feeling sorry for myself (anymore lol) I decided to take action. Here's what's been helping me ditch the blues and feel empowered instead of complacent.

Now that summer is starting to come to a close I can finally start getting back into a better blogging routine. Once those warmer temps start moving in I basically become a vegetable. I hate it. With the cooler weather comes more energy for me by way of nature walks and the changing of the leaves (not to mention cuter clothes!) Joining Anne for her Currently link up. Affiliate links used.

School at Home

The first three weeks of August we were quietly homeschooling. It was never really something I had ever planned on doing but with the start date of school being pushed back I felt I needed to DO SOMETHING.

Summer Salsa // flavors of the season {family recipe}

This fresh, garden salsa is a family favorite. I've already made it twice in June. My Gramma was inspired by my Papa's overactive tomato garden and an obliging pantry. Bonus points for this being a low waste recipe, for those of you who are into that kind of thing🙂

Preschool activities for home-bound learning // a roundup

In the midst of all the uncertainty during this current health scare we are facing I find myself searching for new activities to keep my kiddos engaged while learning. And I know I'm not alone in this endeavor (there's only so many showings of Frozen 2 one person can handle, amiright?!) I combed through my archives and gathered my favorite Preschool Activities that will best serve you and your child during these home bound times. My hope is you both have fun learning together!

Word of the Year 2020

Currently 020

Am I the only one who finds it completely satisfying that the first Currently of 2020 is #20?! Ahhhhh, so perfect. Aside from that serendipitous occurrence, I missed Anne's actual link up so don't mind me posting late, as per usual.
