Today I am thrilled to share with you my experience with HelloFresh, an easy way to bring healthy prepped dinners to your doorstep. Ever since the lazy days of summer ended and school started, my time has been limited in the evening as we get home late from after school activities and the kids need help with their endless homework. That is where HelloFresh comes in to play, making dinner easier with already made up recipes that will help you have dinner on the table for the entire family in just 30 minutes!

Here you'll see all of the ingredients in the box. If you order meat, it will be stored separately in the bigger box that arrives with all of your meals in-between ice packets. I love how everything is individually labeled!

I had a lot of fun preparing the Fig and Quinoa Salad! All I had to do was wash the vegetables, chop, prepare the dressing and toss the salad!

Here are what all of the recipes looked like after I prepared them:

In January 2016, HelloFresh and Chef Jamie Oliver teamed up to get more people cooking fresh food through a partnership that provides new cooking inspiration from Jamie and the exact ingredients needed for exciting recipes delivered straight to subscribers doors. This recipe pictured above (Jamie's Oozy Zucchini Risotto with Mozzarella & Fresh Basil) is one of Chef Jamie Oliver's recipes! It was delicious!

DIY Check Off Jars
ToDoJars11_650
Now, I wanted to share with you how I've gotten my kids back on a routine since they've gone back to school. To make our evenings easier, I've made a 'Check Off Jar' that the kids need to work on once they're home from school This helps them learn a little independence and it also helps save ME time so that I can prepare the simple HelloFresh meal for dinner... and still have time to enjoy my family!


ToDoJars1
Supplies:
3 Jars (or more, depending on how many children you have)
Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
Washi Tape in Various Colors


ToDoJars2
Label the jars with a chalk marker.


ToDoJars3
Pick 2 colors per kid and add the washi tape to the top of the popsicle stick. This will help them know which popsicle sticks belong to them.


ToDoJars8 ToDoJars9 
Label each popsicle stick with a chore. You can even make certain ones for specific days of the week or leave them out on certain days (for instance, you child may take a bath only every other day).


ToDoJars11
When the child completes their chore, they put the popsicle stick in the 'Done' jar.

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Monogrammed Tulip Wreath w/ Burlap Bow {12 Months of Wreaths}

Welcome back to 12 Months of Wreaths! Hi everyone! Welcome back to our third month of 12 Months of Wreaths! I have been seeing a lot of tulip wreaths lately and I wanted to try my hand at making one myself. Wow, this wreath looks complicated, but it has been one of my quicker wreaths that I have made. I kept it simple, with a burlap bow on one side with tulip buds cascading out on both sides. I also added a script monogram 'A' to the other side. The tulip buds are already starting to pop up in my yard, so this wreath couldn't have been made at a more perfect time! Welcome to 12 Months of Wreaths - March!
