Top five: Trader Joe’s finds

-

 Happy Friday!!!


We’ve recently jumped on the Trader Joe’s train as it’s right near the boys’ school and Jamie has started showing interest in new foods. Obviously having a picky eater expand their palate is cause for celebration and capitalizing on a potentially short window to introduce new foods! I love that TJ’s has a low price point and has a lot of unusual options!

Our top 5 so far:

5. Sea salt brownies: I saw a review of TJ’s chocolate products that said these were awful, I could not disagree more. These are amazing and I have to stop me and Leo from eating a whole box the moment we get to the car! 😋

4. Butternut squash ravioli: ultimate comfort food with a little butter and cheddar cheese, we even paired it with air fryer brussel sprouts and figs, feels more like a fall meal, but we all need comfort food every now and then, even in the spring. 🙂



3. Pain au chocolate: just don’t forget to let it prove overnight! Absolutely delicious and Leo’s favorite

2. Thai Vegetable Goyza: Jamie loved this with soy sauce to dip and we will therefore have it once a week until he stops eating it. 😋

1. Pa Jeon: Grant and I are obsessed and this is our ultimate comfort food, especially with an egg over medium and some hollandaise sauce… seriously I would choose this over going to any restaurant it’s sooooo yummy!!! (As Jamie would say 😆)

That’s all for today!

💛 Jess

Let’s Look: Low Level Goals for 2025

Hello, I’m going to try to keep up with this concept/challenge/link-up (seriously I need to figure out how to do that properly) from Mixandmatcama.com and alittlebitofeverythingblog.com for this year. It’s a once a month post about different things in each persons life and I love reading it on their blogs so it might be fun to look back on later in life about my own life. 🙂 I already shared my “resolutions” which are essentially these goals but here’s a recap a couple of weeks in of what is actually going to happen… I think. 1. Mailing a letter or card once a month to a friend I don’t talk to regularly. I still love this concept and it’s fun to try to keep connected with a couple of my sweet friends in a way that feels more personal but still doesn’t add too much to an already busy schedule. This will be the last week of the month and I can easily grab a card from the zoo or Trader Joe’s or just write a letter and it’ll still be fun. 2. Family Bible time. Originally I thought a nightl...

 Hey there! I'm Jess, a mom in Cincinnati Ohio, who is passionate about my family, doing my best to help the planet, and, hopefully, bringing a little positivity to the internet. I've worked on doing a practice blog for the past year to see if this is something that I want to pursue and it has been very therapeutic for me.  As an intro, because no one wants to hear me ramble in paragraph form, here's 10 things about me: 1. My family is my priority. Always.  2. I'm extremely type A and therefore already have a schedule for this, if my mother ever reads this she's likely rolling her eyes and telling me to chill. 3. I can't sit still and will therefore fill my schedule part a a coping mechanism and part just because it's me. 4. I've been working extremely hard this past year to prioritize things that serve our family and saying goodbye to whatever adds unnecessary stress. 5. I'm a hardcore Enneagram 2 (the helper) and therefore my professional backgroun...
