We used to be the kind of people who went to the grocery store almost everyday. We ran to Target on a whim, or stopped by Home Goods just “for fun.” But the moment that Governor Newsom issued the stay at home order for the State of California just over four weeks ago, we chose […]
Easter + More Quarantine Cooking
this year was our first year dying brown eggs Saturday / The Easter festivities officially began today. And honestly, we almost forgot that Easter was already here.

ProsourceFit Acupressure Mat
I like to think of myself as an independent thinker. But at the same time, I am amazed at how easy it sometimes feels to be influenced by the things that I see on social media. And this ProsourceFit Acupressure Mat is a perfect example. I had been hearing people talk about the benefits of […]
Shrimp Scampi with Pasta
Some of our most favorite recipes have been born out of a lack of groceries in the house. And this Shrimp Scampi with Pasta recipe is the perfect example. It was late in the afternoon just a few months ago, and we were both equally eyeing what was in our fridge, and what time it […]
