Hello, friends! I’ve unbanned myself from my computer this evening–I’ve stuck to pen-and-paper journalling lately–to write an actual blog post. I have 18 minutes before I need to do some yoga, have a snack and “hit the hay” as my mom would say, so it will be brief 😛 … Read More »
April Week Meal Plan (Kid-Friendly!)
I haven’t done a meal planning post in a while, so here’s a look at what we’re eating lately! Our grocery bill continues to be wayyy above where I’d like it to be, even with buying a lot of essentials at Target… but perhaps that’s just the way life is these days.… Read More »
Living a Balanced Life: Peu à Peu

January Week Meal Plan
Last month I posted a winter’s week meal plan for fun and it was unexpectedly quite a popular blog post! So today I’m back with another example, a real life January meal plan for one week–healthy-ish and delicious (and with a lazy parents’ no cook night, too!).
As always, everything is gluten-free due to Eric’s celiac disease. We are also trialing eliminating dairy again for one of the kids so almost everything is adaptable to dairy-free.… Read More »
