Basic, Never Boring
Heather is the name, wanderlust is the game. She’s a mother of four and wife to a retired Law Enforcement Officer. Heather is a hard-core Momma Bear to her 2 tiny humans on the Autism Spectrum. When she’s not advocating for her little people or working with her preschoolers, you can find her cooking up a storm in her southern kitchen, reading a good book, planning the next trip to a new destination, or engrossed in a Hallmark Christmas movie.
So it’s that time of year again, Valentine’s Day. And although the gift market is geared more towards women, we can’t leave the men in our life out. If you are anything like me, you’ve given the usual suspects. What are those usual suspects, you might ask? A quick internet search will show the most…
January often finds me huddled up inside under a nice fuzzy throw just trying to stay warm. When I am not taking refuge from the cold, I am keeping warm by cooking some amazing food. Another important thing to remember about January is that I am back to work after Christmas break, so time is…

As the cool wind blows across my cheeks on what is just the first of many fall days, my mind is already abuzz with what I will be cooking for supper. For me, fall is represented by so many things. Of course there are bonfires, hayrides, and pumpkin spice everything. But most importantly, it means…
The Rut We Found Ourselves In Summers at our house for the past 8 years have pretty much looked the same. For the biggest part of the summer my husband would be working 50/60+ hours a week and I would be at home with our kids. I say 8 years as that was my first…
Fertile Myrtle, that’s what they used to call me. With my first three kids it was almost as if I could just wish myself pregnant and then boom, that plus sign would appear. That all changed in late 2012 to early 2013. Month after month we tried for that last little piece of our puzzle that…
With school back in full swing, fast and simple supper ideas are what’s on my mind. Several friends have told me that I didn’t know what I was missing by not owning an Instant Pot, so I gave in and bought one (Thank You hubby!) Luckily for me, Amazon’s Prime Day just rolled around and…
