Biscuits your kids will fight over!

Summer is so close and I am already counting down to the last day of school and checking off end of the year projects. I'm pooped!  Who's with me.  Then the Holderness Family posted this today and I'm like YES!!!!  So, I'm sending your all high fives and reminding you (and me) that we can finish this school strong and then celebrate summer.

Obviously, I am exhausted.  I've been busy playing taxi and doing all the things that dinners have been kind of funky lately.  I haven't menu planned in weeks and it's hitting hard.  My husband has been doing some workshop things a few nights a month and when he's gone, I don't really cook.  So, we eat eggs since he doesn't and one of our favorite things is egg, sausage (or bacon) and cheese biscuits.  Super easy because I make these biscuits ahead of time and they freeze amazingly!  Because of this, I can keep biscuits stashed in the freezer for quick breakfasts and dinners.  Also, they are so good, that my husband has been breaking into my stash when I do a veggie based dinner.  Each time he eats one he tells me they are "Amazing" and "Best Biscuits EVER!" These biscuits are so handy to have on hand that I will probably definitely keep these on my regular freezer stash rotation.

These really are the best muffins and it is so worth it to have these stashed in your freezer for a quick meal or to add to a dinner at the end of the month when you're getting low on options.  I'm not going to lie, these have saved us on more than one occasion and so flaky and delicious you will seriously fight over the last one!  In fact, we have 3 left in the freezer and I know that I need to make another batch next week that I'm wondering how long I can make the last 3 last?  hmmm.  Probably not for long because now I am hungry for one of these biscuits!  Keep scrolling down for the recipe and make some. . . I promise you, you will be so glad you did! 

Buttermilk Biscuits
adapted from Bake from Scratch

Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
4 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 cups frozen, unsalted butter
2 cup buttermilk*
2 Tbsp butter melted

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients with a whisk.  Taking one stick of butter out at a time, grate the frozen butter with a hand grater.  Do all three sticks and then use a fork and cut frozen butter into the flour.  Use your fingers to smoosh the butter into the flour, if necessary.  If butter starts to get really soft, stick your bowl in the freezer for 30 minutes and then continue.  The colder the butter, the flakier the biscuit.  Slowly, add in butter and stir it together. 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle flour on a flat surface and put the dough on top.  Spread and flatten out with your hand. . . no need for a roller here (that's just one more thing to wash and why bother when you can just use your hands?).  Try to keep it at about 1 inch thick.  Use a round glass to cut out your biscuit rounds and place on lined baking sheet 2 inches apart.  Refrigerate for 30 minutes (but I don't. . . I am so impatient and they still turn out wonderful). 

Brush tops of uncooked biscuits with melted butter an dbake for 18-20 minutes. 

Serve warm or place on baking sheet and flash freeze for 2 hours and then place in a freezer safe bag or container and store in the freezer.

Enjoy!

I got away

I signed up for a Women's retreat.  I've always came up with excuses for not going.  But for some reason, I really wanted to go on this one.  I think that it might have had something to do with it was going to be held at a conference center not far from the beach and I am always a sucker for the cool coastal air, the smell of sea salt in the air, and sand between my toes.  So, I made my deposit and secured a room with my bestie and went about my life. 

I'll be honest with you, I still came up with excuses to change my mind. Food, sleeping arrangements, schedules, the what ifs. . . they all went through my mind.  But, I didn't give into my fears or second guessing.  I went and left feeling refreshed and ready go finish off this school year.  I am tired because, who needs sleep when you get to hang out around a fire pit with coffee, dessert, and sweet friends? 

Sneaking away to one of the most beautiful places was amazing.  I don't remember when the last time I have gotten away from my family, which is not why I went.  I went because something deep inside me told me to go and my husband said go.  I think he was looking forward to a guys weekend with the boys, because they had a blast watching soccer games all day and playing miniature golf and ordering pizza!  But, either way, he knew I needed to go and I am so thankful. 

There has been a Travel and Leisure article floating around social media these days that says taking a trip with your girlfriends is good for your health.  The best part of it is that is backed up by all sorts of scientific statistics that may or not be true, but sound great!  And while I went on this trip alongside some of my favorite people, I laughed a ton, was inspired, and also just enjoyed some gorgeous scenic views and breathed in the salty sea air I don't think it cured me of anything.   I did, however, leave refreshed, energized (still tired), and encouraged after a weekend of friends, some really good worship, and time with God.

Taking time to step away from your normal routine, the people who need you the most, and just do something for yourself is worth it.  It's an investment in your mental well-being.  Trust me, that's so important!  There are days and weeks that go by where being a mom is incredibly exhausting.  It doesn't matter if you are a stay at home mom, a work from home mom, or a go to work mom.  We are ALL tired.  We are all stretched thin.  We all bite off more than we can chew. 

 So, in the aftermath of unpacking (I'm pretty sure I still have a couple of things in my suitcase), I thought I would take a few minutes and jot down a few of my thoughts on why should we go away.

1.  You're family can handle things with out you.  You're kids and husband will survive.  They might eat grilled cheese sandwiches and order pizza all weekend, but they will not go hungry.  They probably won't clean. . . and that's okay.  Let them have their weekend, too!  I know we think we need to do everything all the time, but our husbands are actually really good dads and while, we do make things easier for them, they can, in fact, keep the kids alive for a day or two! 

2.  You need to take care of yourself. I know that this sounds so selfish, but getting away is good for the soul.  I didn't have to cook food for anyone or have anyone NEED anything from me.  That was nice.  I've always been pretty intentional about taking time to go out to lunch or to a movie by myself, but never for a whole weekend.  I jumped right back into our busy schedule, but even though I am tired, I feel so refreshed, like my battery got charged.  If you can't sneak away for a weekend, I highly recommend taking the time to treat yourself to a coffee or lunch or even a pedicure, where you can sit down, read a book, maybe do some journaling and even pray.  You will thank me. 

3.  Leave your fears behind.  I can't even begin to tell you how many fears came through my head in the weeks that led to the retreat.  What if I starve?  What if a kid breaks a bone while I am out of town?  What if. . .  honestly, so many What if scenarios that I just sort of had to "lift it and leave it." (Ha ha. . . just heard one of my favorite instagrammers say that. . . and totally loved it).  Anyway, I brought food and told reminded myself that God had this.  I was going.  And guess what, I had a great time.  My husband and boys had a great time.  It was a win-win.  Don't let a case of the what ifs cause you to miss out on a great recharge adventure.

4.  It's good for your husband and kids.  This kind of goes with the first point, but oh well.  It is so good for your husband to have some one on one time with the kids.  I feel like we have let ourselves believe that we are the only ones who can care for our children and that is unhealthy.  Our husbands are just as capable to do our jobs as we are, we just need to let them.  Our kids need to create their own memories and bonds with their dads, just like we do.  Let your husband create strong, positive memories with the kids and give yourself permission to enjoy yourself away from your family.  If they eat junk all weekend and play video games way longer than normal, it's just a weekend.  Release your control and have fun. 

5.  It's okay to miss something.  I missed my son's first softball game.  He ended up starting and getting a base hit and I missed it.  And guess what, life went on and I got to hear the story a bunch of times afterward.  Our kids need to know that our lives don't revolve around them, but we still love them and care about the things they do.  We can't be at every event, field trip, sporting event all the time, but we can call and see how things went and hear the excitement in their voices.  We can come home rehear their stories and share in their joy and sometimes even their disappointment. Our kids can be confident that even though we are not there, they are loved and valued, and we can't wait to hear all their stories. 

6.  Stepping away from the normal routine opens doors for God to speak.   Sometimes when we step away from the our normal crazy life, we open doors for God to come in and do some soul work.  This one is probably the most important reason for going on a retreat.  Retreats force you to slow down and listen.  It might not feel like you are slowing down, but when was the last time you just sat and watched a waterfall, stuck your feet in the water and just praised God for his creation or had a heart to heart conversation with a friend?  Taking the time to really invest in your relationship with God is something that we shouldn't take for granted.  We often chase the busy in exchange for the quiet because it's easier, safer, and we can stay right where we are. . . comfortable.  God wants to move us into a deeper, stronger, and more vibrant relationship with Him and that takes moving away from the constant distraction of life and all its busyness and stepping into a quiet moment for your heart to be challenged.  Maybe God trying to tell you something and you've been running?  Maybe you're longing for a good friend?  Maybe, if you keep staying busy, no one will notice the hurt and pain you are suffering from?  What if we took a risk, signed up for that retreat, and made a new friend or even better, started experiencing the healing power of our Savior.  It is essential for us to make room for God to speak, and going on a retreat is a great way to make that happen. 


 I know that retreats can be expensive and maybe you don't know if your church has one, but find out if there are any coming and find ways to save up for one or even get on the waiting list at your local christian camp and see if any spots open.  Step out of your comfort zone and see what happens when you do! 

Friday Favorites: 5 things I'm Loving Right Now

It came close to hitting triple digits today.  It's April. Send Help.  Just kidding.  Or not.

I promise it's not completely horrible. This is actually the summer weather I love.  Cooler mornings, breezy, and beautiful evenings are the best!   The evenings are perfect and no one wants to go to bed because it's perfect ball playing or splashing around in our little blow up pool .  So, sorry to my kid's teachers.  Oops.

Ethan counted that there were around 30 school days left, not including weekends. I haven't double checked his numbers, but we are ready for quiet, lazy days and adventure!

Also, I am beach bound without kids tomorrow and it's going to be in the 60's.  Bring on cute hats and sand between my toes.  I am ready!

Let's talk about some things I am loving lately.  I don't even know if you really care, but these are cool things that I really am enjoying.  No one is paying me to say anything.  Just things that are cool.

1.  Honest Mascara

I have been looking for a great mascara that doesn't clump and I thought I would try this one.  This one is awesome! I haven't had any issues with clumpiness and it continuously gives me longer looking lashes. . . and that's something I need!  Plus, it's at target for about $15.99 and it's super clean (I am turning crunchier by the day!).  The pink end is a primer and the white end is the mascara part.  I love having them all together!

You can find it here.

2.  Minidip pools

I came across these a few weeks ago, when it wasn't warm enough to even think about jumping in a pool and knew we needed something like it.  They are cute (my boys don't even notice I picked out the girliest print) and think it's pretty awesome.  They have grown out of those small little pools and we needed some way to cool off when we can't invite ourselves over to friends for swimming (we don't have a pool . . . it would mean sacrificing our grass/soccer field for a pool).  We tried this one out tonight and it worked great!  The material is super thick and I am pretty sure it will last all summer. . . and maybe next year, too!  We don't fill it up all the way, because that's a lot of water, but they were able to splash, soak, and immerse their whole bodies!  It's marketed towards adults and claims to fit 3 adults in and it totally can!  I am pretty sure this family of 4 might find their way into it this summer!

We found ours at Target for 39.99.
Here's a link.

3.  Everything Bagel Cream Cheese (non dairy)

The lure of Kite Hill products being 40 percent off for Prime Members made me do it.  And Oh, my! It's so stinking good!  My kids really liked it too!  I don't think it's going to last very long.  But, really they had me at everything. . . I am a serious sucker for everything EVERYTHING.  This is a great one for bagels and I'm thinking it might taste really good with egg over easy on top.  Okay, I am getting hungry just writing about it.  It's good. It's dairy free.  It's amazing!

They also have a strawberry one that Weston is waiting for me to find.  These new flavors are just the best!

Also, Amazon prime for the win.  It's really enabling my love of high end non dairy finds! 

You can find out more here.
We bought ours at Whole Foods.

4.  Write the Word Journal

I am loving this journal!  Writing scripture down is just one way we can engrain it into our hearts stronger than just reading it, and this journal is perfect for that.  Plus, it has a whole section for daily prayer.  I've really been loving the challenge in my life to become more of a woman of prayer and this book is really helping.  I've been marking the spots in the margins where God has just answered something. . . even the littlest thing and it's pretty amazing the ways that he works daily, that I often miss because I'm not taking the time to write my prayers out.

I started this in July and I don't do it everyday, but it definitely is something that I have been trying to do a few times a week.  I already know I am going to buy another one (they have other themes).  Plus, they are simple and pretty all a the same time!

If you are looking for a simple way to challenge your faith, prayer life, or work on being more joyful, these books are perfect!

I got mine on Amazon!

5. Navy Blue. 

 I just bought the kids some spring clothes, because they keep growing.  It's an endless cycle.  They eat (a lot) and grow (a lot) and need new clothes.  Apparently everything I am buying right now is Navy Blue.  From my dress to the boys shirts and a few other new additions to our wardrobes, summer will be very blue at our house. I'm completely okay with it.  Also, denim and chambray. 
(Both boys shirts and my dress came from the Gap.)

I hope you all have a wonderful time this weekend!  Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog!  I can't tell you how much it means to me. . . seriously, it makes my heart so happy.  If you don't mind, I would love for you to comment below and tell me something you are loving right now.   I love hearing from you! 


 

Teacher Appreciation 2019

 Teacher Appreciation Week is coming soon.  Actually, it's the week of May 6th, which is just a couple of weeks away.  If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you might know that I love spoiling teachers.  They need all the encouragement they can get and many times their job is thankless.  But, really, teachers are working so hard daily and in their spare time to make our child's school experience wonderful and their brains full of knowledge.  As a former teacher, I know all of this first hand and want my children's teachers to feel loved.

 I have had the privilege the past few years planning out our Parent Faculty Club's celebration of Teachers and it's just so much fun that I thought I would pass them on to you.  I have created a page of tags that you can use to bring your child's teacher a little gift all week long.  They are fun and I promise won't break the bank. 

 On the first day, We gave the teachers one of our favorite pens and an invitation to a taco feast at the end of the week.

 You're a very POP-ular Teacher!  Just add a popcorn package and this one is set.  Get a little crazy and add a redbox coupon for popcorn and a movie!  (you can order codes on their website). 

 You're SO-DA Bomb!  I had fun making this one to match coke bottles, but you can find what the teacher's favorite soda is pretty easy. . . you're child might even know! 

 This Mint Printable is created to wrap around a pack of gum or a small container of Altoids.

  And finally, a bag of chips to wrap up the week! 

All of these are super easy and super cost effective and a lot of fun!  Plus, even though they are easy and inexpensive, just taking the moment to do something special really makes your child's teacher fill loved!  A teacher doesn't need you to buy them expensive gifts, but even little notes from your child to say thank you go a long way!

how you are spoiling your teachers! 

 

Dairy Free Snacks

Last week, as I was checking my son's homework, I couldn't figure out why we were missing a reading log.  I knew we had done homework every night this week, but we were still missing one.  Several minutes into my search, I realized it was only Wednesday.  I must have been in a big hurry for Friday to get here.  Honestly, I was.  It's a super busy season and this mamma rushed into Spring Break like it's the Christmas morning.  Well, it kind of is.  Seven days of minimal plans and time with my kids and I am ready. Today we have declared it movie day, complete with popcorn and sour patch kids and later brownies and ice cream (after dinner!). 

But, while I am sitting here watching Hook, I thought I would write a quick blog post.  I've been finding more and more really amazing snacks out there that are both dairy free and soy free and often times gluten free which has been awesome.  I also want to preface this by saying we live in a really awesome time with so many companies who are making the switch to cleaner ingredients, which means they are often making the switch away from soy based ingredients.  But, also a lot of these companies are getting really creative with what they can do to make it dairy free. These are more often than not, smaller companies and they are awesome!  My tummy is so thankful for these people!

All of the snacks in today's post are approved by four of us. Which is a big deal.  Go back a few years and there wasn't a whole lot to pick from and what was there was pretty much nasty.  So, when I can buy something that the whole family will and can eat together, I call that a win!

It's also been a while since I've done a dairy free post, even though I am constantly finding and posting over on instagram (they are all saved to my highlights), I thought I would share some recent finds that are great snack foods perfect for lunches or a quick treat.  Most of these we keep in our house regularly and also in our son's classroom when he can't have what someone else brings. . . like cupcakes. 

Siete is a fun brand that has figured out how to make the best chips dairy free, soy free, and grain/gluten free.  And seriously, they are amazing!  They also have some really great queso and I've heard their tortillas are to die for (we aren't gluten free, so I can't bring my self to spend the money on them. . . but if you are it's probably worth it!).  These are currently Weston's favorite thing and I kind of left a bag out the other day (it was a smaller bag), but he almost ate the whole thing!  You can find these at Whole Foods and Sprouts. 

Another brand that is doing such a great job is Miyokos. (we are obsessed with their butter) and then I bought their vegan roadhouse cheese spread and it pretty good!  It's kind of like some easy cheese or one of those cheese balls that people buy around the holidays.  Weston loves to eat it with some crackers or pretzels as an afternoon snack. 

Paleo Puffs "No Cheese" Cheesiness snacks are awesome!  I've been curious since I've seen instagramers post this find at Expo West and I almost squealed with joy when I found them at Whole Foods last week.  Weston has been munching on them ever since and we will definitely be buying these again and again! 

Cauliflower Crackers are one of my favorite finds!  These are pretty similar to Cheese-its.  They are smaller and crunchier, but taste really good!  Plus if they are made out of vegetables, my kid is getting his veggies, right?  Weston and I really liked these and I found them on sale, so that was a win.  I found these at Sprouts and they were less than $3, even on sale these are still pretty inexpensive compared to a lot of other snacks out there! 

Not pictured: Simple Mills makes some really delicious cookies and crackers that are soy, dairy, and gluten free and don't taste like saw dust.  They are really good and we all eat them and nobody notices that they are gluten free.  In fact, I served them at Weston's birthday party and nothing was left over!  I don't think they even noticed! 

And last but not least here are some of our favorite fruit snacks and granola bars.

Granola Bars: 

We love Made Good.  They are free of the top 8 or so food allergens, which is a huge plus. Also, they sneak in some veggies that Weston has no idea about.  So, sure, have a chocolate granola bar. . . eat those veggies as mom laughs quietly to herself. 

We have also found that Annies organic granola bars and Kind Kids bars are dairy free and soy free. 

Weston loves kids RX bars, which a great because not only do they not have dairy or soy or grains, but they also have no sugar and keep them full longer.  We like to keep these on hand when we are traveling just in case there's not an option for Weston and it holds him over while we eat and can get him something for him. 

Food Stirs also makes a great granola bar mix (super easy!) and they are also dairy and soy free.

Fruit Snacks:

Annies Bunnies are our go-to.  They use fruit juice and don't use colors with numbers to make them and I'm pretty sure the sugar content is a little lower (but don't hold me to that. . . I haven't double checked).

Yum-Earth makes some amazing sweet snacks.  Their fruit snacks are super clean and they are constantly coming out with alternatives for the holidays.  Just this Easter, I found sour jelly beans (in a carrot like bag as well as the giant easter egg).  We are also huge fans of their cinnamon bears.  They don't use high fruitcose corn syrup and food dyes (i'm not a fan of food dyes). 

Bear Real Fruit Yo Yo's are the kids favorite snacks.  These are fairly new on the market and I hope they stay.  The only ingredients are the fruit they use.  That it.  They come on a trading card that has country facts and you can collect them.  My kids are obsessed! You can also save each UPC code and send them in for cool things, but they never make it home.  Oops.


And that's it!  Now time for me to wrap this up so I can go finish the endless cycle of laundry and maybe catch the end of Hook.  I hope that helps with your dairy free snack questions! 

Bathroom Update: Cabinets

 The best time to start a project is right before Christmas.  I say that sarcastically, but really I think there's some truth in it. Christmas was coming and there was no excuse to not finish so our front bathroom could be usable.  So, I started a thing.

Our 2019 project is our front bathroom, which I've talked about some here and there on Instagram.  Since our home was built in 1966, we have some great (insert sarcasm here) mid century features. . . like blue tile and blue sinks and a lovely blue bathtub.  And while I joke about the touches of blue, it could be way worse and be pink. . . and trust me, there are houses in my neighborhood with pink everything.  Blue is doable.  Blue doesn't drive my boys crazy.

When we first moved into our home, we just went through and painted all the walls to give it a fresher look.  The walls were desperate for some paint!  Also, Ethan was a whole year and a half and took baths, so the lack of a shower really wasn't a big deal. Fast forward 10 years and now 2 very active boys that need their own shower.

Our plan is to keep the current tub, toilet (we replaced that a few years ago), and counters/sinks and make the bathroom work for with what we have by adding a shower, some new tile, and new flooring and then on the wall with a window add some ship lap to give it some character.

The cabinets were our first step.  They were a really dull brown and just screamed blah.  So, I cleaned them up with some vinegar and water and my magic eraser.  I used  Annie Sloan's new Pure White chalk paint and sealed it up with some clear wax.  I am loving the way it came out!  Without even changing the wall color (soon!), the room brightened up so much! 

 

I found some super fun hardware for the drawers on super clearance for $1.38 from Target's Hearth and Hand line.  I loved the aged metal and new that it would be perfect for covering up the wholes and indents from the previous knobs.  Plus, you really can't beat that price!  It took a little more effort to find the pulls for the cabinet doors. . . aged metal is harder to find than I thought and did not want to spend $10 a pull.  Lowes and Home Depot had some really great ones but they were all too shiny.  I finally found some knobs that came super close at Hobby Lobby on a day where they were 40 percent off!  SCORE! 

 I am so excited to have this phase of the project done and am so antsy to move on to the next project.  I've met with 2 contractors and waiting on a third to see what our options are for putting in a shower and tile.   I'll be honest, I was kind of hoping that it would be quicker than this, but at the same time life has been incredibly full lately and maybe it's a good thing we haven't found the right contractor yet. 

This project is teaching me a lot about patience.  Most of our big projects I've been able to do or Jon and some friends have came over and worked on our flooring.  We are definitely going to be learning a lot through this project and I can't wait to share more. 

Blueberry Rustic Pie

 Last week was insane.  Spring has sprung and so have our calendars!  Between looking for the right orthodontist and a good contractor for our bathroom project in between track practice, and other activities I was kind of going crazy.  But despite everything that was going on, I still wanted to make my husband some sort of pie-like thing or Pi Day.  Math is his jam and so in our house, we celebrate.  In between activities I blended up some flour and butter for some pie crust, threw it in the fridge and headed to the next thing.  When I got home after everything the filling took all of 5 minutes and off to the oven it went while we ate.  Seriously, so easy and such minimal effort and it came out so pretty.  Plus, I had these blueberries sitting in the fridge that were begging to be made into something yummy and this "pie" was the perfect recipe. 

 Besides being incredibly easy to make, rustic pies use very little dishes and are so impressive without doing a ton.  You could be super fancy and call this a gallette or you could even call it a crustada.  The cool thing is rustic pies are all of those.  I like to call them lazy pies becuase you don't have to worry about perfecting your pie crust skills and you just have to grab whatever fruit you have laying around for your filling and wham!  Just a few other ingredients an you have a pie. 

 This pie got rave reviews from my husband who was super excited when this popped out of the oven.  I was super impressed with the crust that was just a simple crust recipe I found on Pinterest.  Seriously, what would we do with that website!? 

Friends, I can't even tell you how excited I am about this recipe because most of it came from my brain and because I didn't have to run to the store for anything!  That's a big thing because I didn't have time and I am trying so hard to stay under budget for food this month.  I confess it's and area I struggle and I've been super diligent about how I use our budget and plan our meals this month that I think I just might make it.

This pie is doable.  Even on a minimal budget and no time to spare, this one is perfect for a last minute, show stopping dessert!
Blueberry Rustic Pie

Ingredients:
Pie Crust*
2 cups blueberries, rinsed
1 Tbsp corn starch
1 1/2 Tbsp coconut sugar
lemon juice
egg and water
Turbinado Sugar

Directions:
Make your pie crust and stick in the fridge, so it stays nice and cold.  Your butter needs to stay cold to help your crust be flakey. 

In a bowl, toss your blueberries in the corn starch, coconut sugar, and lemon juice. 
Roll out your dough into a circle on a floured surface.  Place dough round on your parchment lined baking sheet.  Carefully pour berries into the center of your round and fold edges toward center.  Leave most of the blueberries showing. This isnt a berry crunch wrap from Taco Bell.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg and some water.  Using a pastry brush, brush your egg wash over the sides of the pie crust and sprinkle with Turbinado Sugar. 

Bake in a preheated oven (350degrees) for 40-50 minutes.  Towards the end, you might want to raise your temp to 375 to help it get a little more golden. 

*I used this recipe for my crust.  But, you can totally cheat and use a store bought one.  I won't tell.  It saves you a step and it's still pretty good.  Just keep in the fridge until you need it. 

Happy Baking and Happy Late Pi Day!
