Tackling domestic life...one day at a time!
I've always had a deep fascination with family history. Growing up, my maternal grandmother would regale me with historical tales of her roots. I'd picture lake shores, small towns, the sound of dueling horns that she and my grandfather honked during their first chance meeting on a joy ride through … [Continue reading...]
I've written before about how I take my young kids to the food bank once in a while to give back to the community. Up until recently it's been largely an act of habit. I demonstrate to them that this is just what we do. It's an important part of our routine. I figured they'd come to fully understand when they're older. And then, Some Boy in his tiny little toddler voice said something that put it all into perspective for me. "But why?" This has been his favorite phrase lately. He utters it … [Continue reading...]
FTC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT: Someday I'll Learn aims to provide unbiased editorials. However, I wish to disclose that from time to time I may receive free products or other compensation from companies for blogger reviews. With a mom who lives in Washington State and a best friend who lives in Switzerland it's hard to keep up with our daily lives on a regular basis. But that doesn't stop me from chatting it up with my BFF or letting my kids enjoy a great conversation with their grandma. By … [Continue reading...]
Welcome to the twenty-second edition of Teach Me Tuesday! Here are some of my faves from last week.

Jessica from Domestic Bliss Squared offers a similarly handy trick for light wood as well - go see how she likes to Fix Scratches on Wood Furniture! Are you constantly … [Continue reading...]

It's National Drink Your Veggies Day! Don't ask me who came up with that, but I'm on board. I rarely have time to sit down and eat a full meal while the kids are awake, so I've been all about smoothies and bottled whole fruit juice lately. Check out the Glam Power Up Pinterest Board for a ton of tasty recipes made with Naked's fruit and veggie blends. In honor of Drink Your Veggies Day, you can also take part in this cool sweepstakes by Naked Power Garden. Vote for your favorite Power … [Continue reading...]
Smart & Final has some phenomenal pricing on chicken and beef lately, so I've been taking full advantage by stocking up and making some creative barbecue recipes. Adobo chicken simmered on the stovetop is a family favorite year-round, but taking it out to the grill when the weather's nice kicks it up a notch with real flavor depth. This Filipino dish is super-easy with a mixture of soy sauce, honey and bay leaves. The chicken is simmered in the adobo mixture prior to grilling for a … [Continue reading...]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of ProudOn TV. I love to share videos with family, but lately I seem to run into a lot of speed bumps when trying to do it. Nate and I have different phones that film in different formats or speak different languages or something, meaning that his video messages come through really blurry to my phone and vice versa. We didn't have this issue when we both had the same phone model, but the frequent updates in technology here makes for … [Continue reading...]
