Whelp, this me! Mom of 3, bathroom beverage, harsh lighting and still trying to embrace the dark circles under my eyes and still contemplating Botox for my very expressive face.

As grandma Hanson would say, “oh well, so what, who cares!” (In her cute little Wisconsin accent)

Blackberry Lemon Drop recipe, coming soon. It’s super yum!

I love making sushi rolls, but I also appreciate not rolling sushi and making bowls the next day. Either way, always a favorite meal around our house.

There is definitely some prep work, but all easy stuff, and totally worth it!

I have an easy and delicious sushi rice recipe on my blog. I hope you check it out and make some yourself.

On my blog. Search “sushi rice” Link in bio or

And I super appreciate my people that go fishing and bring me fresh fish!! 🫶🏼

Nothing says Summertime BBQ like smoked ribs! I

Nothing says Summertime BBQ like smoked ribs!

I like my ribs to fall of the bone. So smoking them for a few hours, then wrapping them up for a few more seems to do the trick. Man, these were delicious!!

Plus seasoning them with our buddies @wood.iron.works_bydean mixture, always ends in perfection!

I was intimidated to do these for some reason, (probably because my hubby always kills it with the smoking and BBQing) but these were super easy and simple.

What’s your favorite thing to smoke?

We celebrated the fact that we FINALLY got to “turn on” our solar panels, (we’ve had them for a month) by cranking the A/C, and making it cold enough to have soup! 🙌🏼

Roasting the tomatoes made this amazing! If you like tomato soup, you’re going to LOVE this!

Recipe up on the blog soon!

I appreciate going out, or when someone else cooks for me. But my favorite, is home cooked meals after being on vacation!

I tried a new enchilada recipe, and it was amazing! A little more work than my usual enchilada recipe, but 100% worth it!

Let me know if you want the recipe!

Curious, do you burn candles in the summer time? Or just fall and winter?

I burn year around. And right now tropical scents and citronella is my go to scent!

These two photos capture the reality of my life ri

These two photos capture the reality of my life right now.

I started off my week with absolutely nothing on my calendar. No day, dates, nothing. As if it’s summertime and I don’t have anything to do!

When the reality is, I’ve been so busy with life. 18th birthday celebrations, engagement celebrations, graduation celebrations, end of school year celebrations, a memorial for the loss of a friend, and holidays. With all that going on, who has time to update their life?! 😅 It’s been a long 2 months.

Whelp, I’ve updated my life, put some stuff on the calendar (for this week), and wouldn’t you know it… I have more celebrations to tend to!!

Pshh..Responsibility shmonsibility!

And yes, I still love bullet journaling!

Poached Egg, Whirlpool Style! 🌪

This is my favorite way to make eggs! My perfect egg is cooked at 3 minutes. You can go more or less depending on how you like your yolk.
