DONUTS!!! I don't know about you, but I haven't enjoyed one in a long time (until now, that is). Frankly, the way I feel after eating regular gluten fried in crappy (ya, I said it) oils just isn't worth it. But everything's changed now that we've made our own sourdough, avocado oil or lard-fried donuts [...]

Favorite family games!

We're in the heart of winter, and while we still prioritize getting outside, I love a good family game afternoon on a stormy day (and year-round really). And family game time is a big hit around here. And I am here for it. Learning. Problem-solving. Belly laughs. Quality time together. I swear I can see [...]

We've been traveling A LOT this summer, and that, on top of constant local adventures too, has created a need for something to give Evie space to rest her body, entertain during long trips, and find space to let her mind grow while getting some downtime. Enter podcasts for kiddos (that are enjoyable for grownups [...]

We returned from a super fun summer trip to Central Oregon with a bag of brioche buns from one of our favorite spots, Sparrow Bakery. And I knew exactly what we'd use them for (see our favorite stops here). We also returned with delicious turmeric jalapeño kraut from our friends Jake and Kali, gifted during [...]

Our garden is booming this year! And I am having fun finding way to put the fruits (and veggies) of our labor to good use. Evie is having so much fun helping her dad and me in the garden, and I love seeing her pick produce straight from the ground to eat right then and [...]
