Happy Monday! I am so excited that soup weather has finally arrived this week, because I can't wait to try out some more of the new soups in the Trim Healthy Table cookbook :)I was able to make Cheeseburger Soup this weekend and it was a hit with the whole family...even my uber-picky little guy, who ate a whole bowl. That's huge! And I love that he didn't even know that he was eating big Continue Reading
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend and are ready to start the week with a new fall menu plan!I've been waiting for the real fall weather to show up and stick around, but it hasn't happened yet. Yesterday was so hot and humid, I barely went outside, and only because we had to go to church ;)That means I haven't been able to try many of the soups in the new Trim Healthy Table Continue Reading
My favorite season of the year is finally here...FALL! The cooler weather, sweaters, and beautiful leaves are some of the things I look forward to all year long.

With the school year now in full swing, our weeknights have become busy again. The kids' activities take up a few nights each week, which means less time for mom to get a healthy dinner on the table. That's why I love to get out my slow cooker for those nights.Unfortunately, not all of my go-to crock pot meals are popular with every member of the family. (ahem...the kids) So oftentimes, I work Continue Reading
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend :) I'm so glad to be back on a normal routine this week after spending last week doing home improvement projects.I painted almost every room in my house this week, and helped my husband replace the old pedestal sink in our master bathroom with a beautiful new vanity with a granite top.Having freshly painted walls and a re-done bathroom Continue Reading
It’s no secret that back to school can be the most hectic season of all.Even though the stacks of notebooks, folders, and tissues are out of our house (finally!), we’re still feeling the aftermath.But soon we'll see the leaves start to change color, the weather will turn cool, and the rush toward the holidays will begin.And so it's time to think about getting our homes ready for Continue Reading
Happy Monday! I'm trying to get back into the school routine now that the kids started back to school last week. It's a bit of an adjustment this year, but having a menu plan takes one big worry off my shoulders!My oldest started middle school this year, and she has to be at the bus stop a whole hour earlier than last year. It's been an adjustment to get her up earlier and get lunches Continue Reading
