All things sourdough from the basics all the way to the pros! I have been baking sourdough for a few years and have learned so much about what tools are needed and which ones are nice but not a necessity to make delicious bread. Anyone can make bread, just depends how many tools you want in your tool kit!

One of my biggest money drains was grabbing coffee at Dunkin' or Starbucks. While I still do that sometimes, I've learned to jazz up my cup of joe at home, saving cash and unleashing creativity. Oh, and I mostly use low or no-calorie ingredients, making my brew healthier. Copy my coffee here!
When I am on my Daniel Fast, these snacks helps… A lot :) I have enjoyed the plant-based diet for over two years now.

Came back from two weeks in Vietnam and my morning Starbucks tasted like hot brown water. If you're a coffee person who thinks you've tried everything but haven't sat on a tiny plastic stool in Hanoi at 6am watching condensed milk swirl into the darkest roast of your life — this list is the closest I can get to recreating that without a plane ticket. Took me a year of trial and error so you don't have to.
these purchases honestly saved me money in the long run because when you have good products and a cute set up you're way more inspired to make your drinks from home rather than going out! its often featured in my tik toks so ill try to link things here for those that have been asking :)
There are a few beaches that I travel to yearly as the weather gets warmer. Here are some of my favorite treats from our Rehobeth beach and Ocean City beach roadtrips.
Every weekend we'd show up to the park and every single pavilion was already claimed by 7 AM. I got tired of eating cold sandwiches while watching other families grill. So I built a portable cook station that fits in my trunk, sets up in five minutes, and lets us make burgers wherever we find shade. If you're the family that always loses the pavilion race, grab this stuff before summer fills up your calendar.
This list includes some of my favorite tools and essentials for anyone getting into sourdough baking — the items that have made my process simpler, more consistent, and even more rewarding.I inherited my sourdough starter from my parents — it’s been alive for over five years now — and for the past two years, I’ve been lovingly keeping it going while learning the rhythm of sourdough baking. It’s truly a labor of love. There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh bread baking or the pride that comes from slicing into a loaf your own hands created.
One thing about me, I LOVE my iced coffees! I occasionally drink hot coffee when my husband makes it. I'll leave my iced latte recipe down below in the Iced Coffee category for you to check out!

Spending $7 on a tub of Fage or Chobani every week adds up fast, especially when you're going through two tubs. I started swapping in store brands and budget options, and honestly some of them have the exact same macros. If you're trying to hit your protein without blowing your grocery budget, this took me six months of taste-testing so you can skip straight to the good ones.

I moved to Moorhead for college in 2016 and fell in love. I went to college there, fell in love and was heart broken there, I turned 21 there, I met my now husband and became a mom there. We moved to our now home in 2020 and I am so incredibly nostalgic for the Fargo Moorhead area still. I’d move back in a minute if it were closer to family.

Landed in Rome starving, walked into the first place with an English menu and a guy waving me in — paid €22 for the worst carbonara of my life. Sound familiar?

Spent years forcing down bitter, hay-flavored teas because the box said ‘calming’ while my brain kept spiraling anyway. If you're someone who genuinely needs to wind down after work but can't stomach another cup that tastes like you boiled a lawn, this is the lineup that finally broke the cycle. Took me two years and probably 40 boxes of disappointing tea to narrow it down.

Saturday nights used to be everyone staring at separate screens in different rooms. We needed something hands-on that worked for a five-year-old AND a teenager without anyone rolling their eyes.
