    New Meal Planning Website

    November 1, 2017 / No Comments

    Have you all seen this new meal planning website yet? I got a free subscription because I work in education, and I love it! It lets me specify what kind of restrictions and preferences we have (not only related to ingredients but also about how much we want to spend and how long we want the meals to take). And then you can order the ingredients via Instacart, if you want (which you know I already love).

    Family Adventure: Traveling Internationally with Kids

    October 30, 2017 / 3 Comments
    Our next big adventure is to Australia! We’ll be going during Winter Break (which will be smack dab in the middle of summer there, which I’m excited about because I am way more a warm weather person than a cold weather one). We’ll be heading to an old coffee plantation that has been renovated into a home in the hinterlands of Byron Bay. Then we’ll be heading down to Brisbane. 
    We are all so incredibly excited! 
    I purchased some books to help us prepare for our adventure.
