Cheers to a brand new year! 2023 is shaping up to be the year of the declutter for me and first on the list was cleaning out our hall closet and turning it into a backup pantry to house mixing bowls, flour canisters, and small appliances/kitchen tools.
Shall we talk about what we’re eating? Here’s what went on at our house this week: Usually we deviate from the white board slightly but, this week, I’m glad to say it all went pretty much as planned.
