Trying Sun Basket

I cannot get enough of these meal kit services that deliver easy to make dinners without me even leaving the house. They are just so convenient! This week we tried Sun Basket.

Weekly Round Up

Let's go through the photos of the week shall we?

But before we get into it, how adorable are these teeny tiny cat prints that I found in the snow in our backyard? Am I the only one that totally creeps on their yard the morning after a snowstorm to see what kind of wildlife visited in the night?

Cricut Chat: Using the Cricut Scoring Style

Recently joining the Cricut world has been so much fun and I am quickly learning all of the jargon and accessories that are available for the seemingly endless projects. Who knew that these machines were so powerful? Today I wanted to talk about one specific tool: the Scoring Stylus. 

What is it? What's its purpose? How can we use it? Do we need the Scoring Stylus AND the Stylus Wheel? What's quick-swap? All these (and more) will be answered in this post. 

A Special Valentine Dinner 2021

 

I hope you are having a relaxing Sunday and celebrating the special people in your life. Whether it's a significant other, a friend, a family member, it doesn't matter. Valentine's Day is usually low key around here -- we just do a dinner and small token gift of appreciation. We're foodies so dinner (and dessert) is our focus.

Making Pork Soup Dumplings (the easy way)

Before Covid-19 struck we used to visit a restaurant in the city where we would enjoy the most delicious Shanghai-style dumplings and food. For Lunar New Year we wanted to have soup dumplings but with restaurants either closed or heavily restricted we knew we could not visit our favorite place. So we decided to make our own pork soup dumplings, or Xiaolongbao. 

These are perfect from the upcoming Lunar New Year if you would like to celebrate. 

I'm never one to turn down a themed dinner (or nail design, lol)!

Mmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about these.

Cricut Chat: Buying the Cricut Maker

Well my crafts and DIY list just got a huge helper in the form of my very own Cricut Maker machine!

Trying Home Chef

Are you looking for a way to make getting healthy dinner on the table easier? If so, you've come to the right place. I tried Home Chef and am offering some thoughts so you can decide whether you want to try it for yourself and your family.

February Already?

Can you believe we're already in the month of February? It's been a while since I did a proper recap post on here so let's catch up and talk about how this year is going. I just put on a classic (2 Fast 2 Furious, lol) and now it's time to blog. I'm going through my camera roll to catch up.
