I’m still happily packing them for her every morning. You can take a peek at what she’s currently toting on Instagram (@thereal_aneelee).

happy friday!

The weather is cool enough (even in the sun) to venture outdoors without having to rely on a cool water to dip into and you can pack snacks and food into the car without having to worry about everything melting. Here’s what I am up […]

Carving out time for the kitchen has been challenging this week. Reminding myself that I can do it in bits – sauce this morning, veggie chopping later…

clean kitchen
Clean kitchens are even more satisfying on busy days. Done cooking so it stays that way.
Moretiny moments

Morein the fridge
We are trying out a new list on the refrigerator door this week. My hope is that it will make it easier to decipher what food options are available inside the doors in the morning when we are all pointing in different directions. I am assuming that there will be some changes as we work […]

Lots of good stuff on the horizon, so we are still in celebrating mode at el castillo. Have a happy weekend and, if you are lucky enough to have Texas heat to deal with, stay cool!
Moreeleven tomorrow
Geez. How did we get here? An eleven-year-old that fits in my shoes and no longer likes wearing bright colors is not something that you plan for… it kinda just sneaks up on you. I probably feel this way every year, but this age is the best. She is eager to “get bigger” but not […]
