It's almost time for the Super Bowl and I am done being sad my team didn't make it to the playoffs and ready to watch the big game like a normal person. Which means, with lots of food! This recipe is amazing! One of my husbands favorite food are buffalo chicken wings, and I love that this recipe is so much healthier than those deep fried wings! You can add more heat if you want, or keep it mellow for those spice hating people in your life (do they really belong with you at all??) This ... Read the Post

Enjoy Your Dream Getaway While Staying on a Budget
Having a vacation is always something exciting to look forward to. It’s nice to get out of town for a little bit and break your usual routine. Vacations are what I like to use if I find myself needing a fresh perspective on life, and sometimes the best way to do that is to take a luxury vacation. You may be used to living on a tight budget and strict schedule, but on a luxury trip, you’ll be able to let that all go and spend your time doing more positive and enjoyable things. At least ...

Pop Art Block Prints
This was voted favorite project of the year by more than 75% of my students and it's easy to see why. When you can tie an art lesson on pop art in with a trendy snapchat filter you know your teaching game is strong. I started this lesson with a short video on Andy Warhol followed by a discussion on whether advertising is art or if you find art in advertising. I did a lot of prep for this lesson, but being prepared really helped the whole process go smoothly. I'm not going to ... Read the Post
Greek Rice Salad
I'm such a sucker for a good side dish, and this Greek rice salad really hits the spot. In my younger years I was a vegetarian (9 years!) and even still we veer off into the vegetarian side of things every so often. There are only so many green salads to make, and having a good variety of sides is always a win in my book. This Greek rice salad is a perfect compliment to a nice roasted chicken or barbecued meat and in my opinion goes especially well with anything cooked in this Korean ... Read the Post
Vintage Inspired Hall Passes
I just realized that I never shared these with you, so here you go! My first year teaching I realized a couple of days before school started that I didn't have any hall or bathroom passes ready to go for my students. Although this wasn't an urgent situation, it was one that I wanted to quickly check off my list.I looked online and found a blank library card that fit exactly what I was looking for. I uploaded it into picmonkey (my most favorite photo editing tool) and added some text ... Read the Post
Explore the North Cascades: Winthrop, WA
You might remember that I'm originally from eastern Washington, and each summer we try to take a trip back to my hometown of Winthrop, WA. This summer was no different and I wanted to share a little bit about the area with you! Because we travel over during the summer we always take Highway 20 over the northern part of the Cascade mountains. It is an absolutely stunning drive and one that reminds me so much of childhood trips to the coast to go shopping. Once we got to ... Read the Post
Faux Concrete Succulent Planters
I've been working all summer to spruce up my vintage camper getting it ready for the next big adventure. I've finally gotten to the point where I am adding fun decor pieces and these mini faux succulent planters were the perfect addition! I posted on Instagram last April when my hubby and I headed over the mountains to eastern Washington to pick up this beauty of a vintage camper for my birthday. It is a 1971 Shasta Compact and it was in pretty good condition for its age. My ... Read the Post
Spanish Lime Soup
With summer winding down in a lot of parts of the country and preseason football heating up it's not hard to imagine fall rolling in. The leaves changing color, the cozy sweaters, and the homemade soups. There is so much I love about fall, and that includes this Spanish Lime soup! I am a sucker for easy meals, and this one might take the cake. Although, it does have a LOT of ingredients, it's really just a lot of can opening, chicken shredding and spice measuring. You can easily omit ... Read the Post
Helping Kids Manage Back to School Stress
It’s that time of year again, the season where carefree days of summer give way to fall, which inevitably means a new school year. This transition is often greeted with a mixed bag of emotions for our kids as they head to new classrooms, teachers, grades, and even schools. Kids of all ages, ranging from our littlest ones beginning kindergarten to our seniors facing their last days in high school, might fear the unknown. As stores line their shelves with notebooks, pencils, and crayons, ... Read the Post
Explore Mount St. Helens: Ape Cave Adventure
I am an avid lover of the great outdoors, and since we picked up a sweet vintage camper for my birthday this year, it's been nonstop adventure time. Recently we traveled south the Mount St. Helens to explore the near famous Ape Caves. Now that the kids are getting older what used to be a one night camping ordeal has turned into a two night camping adventure. I imagine as they get older we will be able to travel farther and farther from home, but for now we are sticking to Washington ... Read the Post
Cheesy Alfredo Crab and Zoodle Bake
Summer time is the right time to whip out all those zucchini recipes you've been pinning during the rest of the year. Things like zucchini taco rolls, zucchini bread, and now this baked crab and zoodle casserole! My husband works for a tribe out here on the Washington coast and even though we get a plentiful amount of salmon, crab is processed at a different location so it seems like such a treat when we do get some! This dish is straight outta bounds for flavor and scores some serious ... Read the Post
Harry Potter Back to School Backpack Tag with Cricut
Summer in the Pacific Northwest is a funny animal. It doesn't warm up and get going until we're into July and just as we are getting into a swing of things, back to school strikes! I am trying to take control of the back to school season by creating a few things for my kids (like these Harry Potter backpack tags) to ease them into this new season. Maybe they won't notice that summer is never quite long enough... When Marissa asked if I wanted to participate in her Happy Harry Potter ... Read the Post
