Kitchen Love, The Final Frontier

I know, I know, I started the Kitchn Cure over a month ago. It turns out – unsurprisingly, perhaps – that cleaning out the fridge, freezer, and all appliances were not the issue for me. The biggest and most overwhelming piece of this project was the reorganization and cleaning of the pantry, cupboards, and drawers. […]

Snow-pocalypse

It has been such a strange week. It started out like this: Which morphed into this: We put on a happy face, after all, the kids were all building snow forts and having a blast. The snow was going to melt, so no big deal, right?   Yesterday morning I drove to yoga at my […]
