As a mom of two school-agers in sports, I find joy in making a game plan before I feel overwhelmed. I love supporting other working women who need to find extra time in their days.

I made pot pie easier (and used ground beef!)

Hi Reader, There's something about November that makes me want all the cozy dinners. But making a pie crust from scratch on a Thursday night? Not happening. 😂 So I have a new recipe for you! My Ground Beef Pot Pie with Biscuits has everything I love about comfort food, with a few shortcuts that make it realistic for a busy weeknight. We're talking: Seasoned ground beef Frozen vegetables Refrigerated biscuits instead of homemade pie crust It's warm, filling, and doesn't require spending the...

Hi Reader, You know what takes up way too much space in my brain during November and December? Remembering ALL the little Christmas things. Did I order that teacher gift? Where did I put the stocking stuffers? Did that package ever arrive? And how much have we actually spent? I love Christmas. But I don't love keeping track of all of that. 😂 That's why I created my Ultimate Christmas Planner. It's a digital planner built in Google Sheets that helps you manage the holiday details without...

Hi Reader, TEN YEARS! 🎄 I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but our FREE Christmas Planner is back for its 10th year!

But keeping track of the gifts, school parties, family gatherings, holiday meals, and all those little things you swear you'll remember? That's a whole different story. And that's...

Hello Reader, Saturday football food should be fun. It should NOT require spending the entire morning in the kitchen. So if you’re having people over today, I’m voting for food everyone can grab whenever they’re hungry. Start with these: Easy Parmesan Garlic Pizza Rolls Then add: Fall Charcuterie Board Put everything out. Turn on the game. Done. No sit-down meal required. And if people think you worked really hard on it? We don’t need to correct them. Brittany

Hi friend, Game day food has one requirement around here: It needs to be easy to grab. Bonus points if I can make it without spending the entire game in the kitchen. So if you're watching football this weekend, don't overthink it. Pick two: Parmesan Garlic Pizza Rolls Hot, cheesy and made from frozen pizza rolls. Creamy Dill Pickle Dip Ten minutes + chips. Done. Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers For when you want something hot and a little spicy. Ranch Chicken Wings Crispy air fryer wings...

Hi Reader, Here's something I've stopped expecting myself to do: Come up with seven completely different dinners every week. No thank you. Instead, I like to build the week around a few easy anchors. Maybe: One pasta night. One taco night. One leftovers night. One ridiculously easy dinner. One meal that gives us enough for lunch tomorrow. Then fill in from there. If your dinner rotation is feeling a little stale, try this: The viral Giada's Sheet Pan Lasagna Easy Sheet Pan Lasagna It's...
