Easter Week

Well, last week was just as uneventful as any other, but I have been trying to enjoy cooking, organizing, reading, and doing home workouts. I have been trying to limit grocery shopping to once every two weeks, and I have been using Aldi delivery and Target drive-up, both of which are really easy to use. … Continue reading Easter Week →

Anniversary Trip to Milwaukee

Hey, guys. I haven't written much lately and that is because I am still feeling sick. I seem to have an odd, unrelated barrage of symptoms and have been to several different doctors with no answers yet.

One of my favorite ways to get veggies in is through soup, chili, and casserole, because you can throw a ton of things in there.
