healthy food, lifestyle, travel, & everyday moments.
Oh, hi! Happy February. This month is going to be very busy: studying for my digital marketing exam, doing stuff with friends, prepping to start our garden, some side projects I’m working on (picking up my fiber arts again to help with our 2020 sustainable living goals), and Eric’s work is intense at the moment.… Read More »
I have a six-month-old, so, coffee… it’s been on my brain a lot lately. I don’t actually own any type of coffee maker at the moment. And you know what’s appealing when you’re short on time in the mornings? A Keurig or Nespresso machine. They were made for busy mums.

Happy Wednesday, friends. I’m off on my weekly coffee-date-with-myself to work on digital marketing stuff, so it is indeed a happy morning. Time to myself is very valuable now that I’m a mom! And an almond milk mocha and slice of pumpkin bread don’t hurt, either.
But at any rate, first I’m popping in with an easy and delicious recipe for you!
