How To Mix-up Your Staple Dish

Do you have a staple meal that's your go-to? Ours is home made burrito bowls and we probably make them (at least) once a week! If you've eaten at our house, you've probably had burrito bowls 😉 Here's why we love them so much: SO easy, relatively healthy, and lots of opportunity for variety. You [...]

She puts me to shame in the baking department and I can always count on a sweet treat from this sweet friend! This recipe is not only pumpkiny goodness.. it’s REALLY simple and from scratch [...]

Tomatoes & Basil Pasta

I love a meal that tastes like a memory! For me, this dish tastes like summertime. It was one of my mom’s side dish staples when I was growing up. We ate it all summer. Usually outside! Now it’s become one of my staples and I love that friends associate our home with this taste. [...]

Family Dinners & New Recipes!

Some of my best family memories were made around the dinner table. TV off, phones away, often adding chairs for whoever was joining. Coming together to share about our day and laugh with each other over meals always served as a way to connect as a family before we were off to our own activities [...]

Nice to meet you!


Thanks for stopping by! I’m a Jesus follower, wife, and mom of 2 boys! 7 years ago I married my childhood crush and we still call our hometown in the PNW home. I’m all about hacking life in order to not just survive, but THRIVE! I’m young and I have a lot to learn. But I created this page because I’m realizing that we all do. The most empowering moments for me as a woman – in every new season – have been when other women came along side me and said, “I’ve been there.” Some of those women didn’t even know me, but their honest words in book, podcast, or post form reminded me that I wasn’t alone in this. Life is a learn-as-you-go adventure and we don’t have to go it alone. It’s richer with community. I think that’s what we’re all looking for as we try to figure out how to gracefully navigate the days in the many roles we women walk in. My hope here is that I can share a few things that I love and learn along the way. Things that may make life just a little easier and fuller, or at the very least may encourage your heart. If I can help to promote community among women and be that, “I’ve been there,” voice to just one person – I think that would be pretty great. So look around and say hello!  I’m so glad you’re here!
