House Tour | Office (Mini Renovation)

June 25, 2020June 26, 2020Leave a comment

June 17, 2020June 18, 20202 Comments

A couple of months ago, my friend from Thailand shared some homemade curry with us. Our whole family loved its rich, sweet and spicy flavor, so I begged her for the recipe. I assumed it would be really complicated, but it’s actually a super easy formula — 1 can Maesri panang curry paste (affiliate link) … Continue reading Instant Pot Thai Panang Chicken Curry { 5 minute prep! }

Why we’re not using Cloth Diapers for Baby #2

June 16, 2020June 16, 2020Leave a comment

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that we used cloth diapers for with our first baby. I have no regrets about this — we saved a lot of money, and I didn’t think it was that big of a deal to do a few extra loads of laundry each week. But for … Continue reading Why we’re not using Cloth Diapers for Baby #2

Tips for Organizing Leftovers and Minimizing Food Waste

April 29, 2020June 23, 20203 Comments

I'm just going to put it out there -- I think it's difficult not to waste leftovers. At our house, we make pretty much all of our food from scratch, so we intentionally cook extra large batches of food to reheat throughout the week as a timesaver. As a result, our fridge is usually *full* … Continue reading Tips for Organizing Leftovers and Minimizing Food Waste

Today I'd like to share a fun find -- the sweetest pair of toddler shoes that are just $9 on Amazon! In general, I buy most of my toddler's clothes used from well-curated consignment stores.
