My Blog about stuff – family, sports, travel, and cooking.
My blog is almost like my journal. I keep track of my kids’ various activities, from Taekwondo to Soccer to Band. I also spend time writing about our various travels, whether to family or one of the many soccer events we attend. You might also find a good recipe, or two!

Just finished another one from Ruth Ware! This time, it’s In a Dark, Dark Wood. When reclusive writer Leonora is invited to the English countryside for a weekend away, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. But as the first night falls, revelations unfold among friends old and new, an…
Soccer season never really ends. No, we’re not doing games right now, but we’ve still got tryouts, practices, and futsal on the horizon. So, I asked ChatGPT to help with some easy-to-make meals that doubled as food we could eat in the car on the way to practices. First up was Pizza…
Some dinners just make life easier. These crispy Parmesan ranch chicken tenders are exactly that kind of meal. They’re quick, simple, kid-friendly, and honestly one of the easiest things to throw together on a busy night. Ever since switching to a large basket-style air fryer, I’ve been making…
