Backyard garden diaries: Week 2

Cleaning up the garden today means pulling weeds, clearing leaves, and slowly getting things ready for spring.

I always forget how rough a garden looks before it starts blooming. Right now it’s a little messy… but it’s already so much better than where we started.

This is the part of gardening you don’t always see all the slow work before everything starts blooming.

Honestly, I can’t even remember everything I planted last year… so when things start coming back it’ll be a surprise for all of us. 😅🌿

If you’re also working on your backyard garden this season, save this to come back to later.

Question for my fellow gardeners… do you have anything blooming in your garden right now?

It may not officially be spring yet, but it sure feels like it in Texas.

Things have started blooming, the weather has been beautiful, and we’ve been spending as much time outside as we can.

Just a little glimpse of pieces of our days lately.

These ordinary days end up being the ones we remember most. 🤍

Which little moment would you pick?

1️⃣ Coffee outside
2️⃣ Garden discoveries
3️⃣ Kids playing outside
4️⃣ A trip to the garden center

Finding a dinner all 5 of my kids will eat is rare… but this one works every time. 🙌

With 5 kids and very different food preferences, dinner can feel like a gamble. Someone usually doesn’t like something. But these Alfredo chicken bacon rollups are one of those meals that everyone happily eats.

I also love that it comes together in just a few minutes. Mix, roll them up, bake, and dinner is basically done.

Saving this one for those busy nights.

Alfredo Chicken Bacon Rollups

Ingredients
• 1 lb rotisserie chicken (shredded)
• 1 block cream cheese, softened
• 1–2 cups freshly grated mozzarella
• bacon bits
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 2 cans crescent dough
• 1 jar Alfredo sauce

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a bowl mix chicken, cream cheese, bacon, mozzarella and all seasonings.
3. Open crescent dough and place a scoop of the mixture in the center of each roll.
4. Roll them up and place in a 9×13 baking dish.
5. Pour Alfredo sauce over the top and sprinkle with more mozzarella and a little Italian seasoning.
6. Bake 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Easy dinner, minimal effort, and everyone actually eats it. That’s a win in this house.

Save this one for later 🤍

This week’s coffee obsession ☕️

Lately it’s been a cookie dough iced latte in the afternoons, a little kick before school pickup lines and the dinner rush with kids.

Kept the milk spill in just to keep it real 😂

Just:
– Ice
– A splash (or more) of @chobani cookie dough creamer
– Cold milk
– An espresso shot

Stir. Reset. Keep going. 🤍

It’s a small thing, but it makes the afternoon feel a little more manageable.

What are you loving in your coffee lately?

This lip gloss + comfy tee combo has been on repeat lately 🤍

The gloss is one of those easy everyday ones that makes you look a little more put together without trying too hard, smooth, lightweight, and the perfect subtle shine.

And this shirt is exactly the kind of basic I love having in my closet. Soft, comfortable, and easy to throw on with leggings, jeans, or even for school pickup runs.

When a new season comes around, I don’t do a full house reset.

But I do love adding a few small touches of seasonal charm.

Just enough to make it feel fresh. And my favorite way to do this is by changing out my faux stems throughout the house.

Tell me… are you a full reset girl or a small seasonal swaps kind of girl?

Bathroom closet organization, but make it mom of five friendly. 🤍

I finally tackled our bathroom closet and put all the kid meds + essentials into one clear bin so I can actually see what we have (and stop rebuying the same things 🙃).

just simple, clear storage that makes busy nights, sick days, and early mornings easier. I love being able to pull one bin and know everything is right there when I need it.

These are the kind of bowls that just make everyday meals feel prettier.

I grabbed them on sale and honestly wish I had sooner. The soft neutral color + the little beaded edge detail feel timeless and cozy but still simple enough for everyday use (which is important in a house with 5 kids 😅).

They’re perfect for pasta nights, big salads, cereal, or those random “everyone’s eating something different” dinners.

They’re currently on sale and such a good staple piece if you’re slowly building a kitchen you love.

The cutest glass tumbler, perfect for Valentine’s Day!

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKmomlife #LTKValentine

This sprinkle-rimmed cup is one of those little things my kids get excited about for every holiday.

For Valentine’s Day, I just swap in themed cups and add Valentine’s themed sprinkles.

I dip the rim of the cup in marshmallow fluff, then roll it in sprinkles, and add your favorite drink! We like using sparkling grape juice or milk the most but you can use any drink.

just a fun little treat they always look forward to.

I’ve been doing my own gel nails at home lately and I’m officially obsessed with this nail color 🤍
As a busy mom, getting to the salon isn’t always realistic, so learning how to do a DIY gel manicure at home has been such a game changer.

This gel nail polish applies smoothly, cures beautifully, and lasts way longer than my old regular polish. It’s become one of my favorite little self-care routines, quiet, simple, and doable during nap time.

If you’ve been wanting salon-quality gel nails at home without the cost or appointments, this is such an easy place to start. Everything I used is linked here ✨

📸 Week 2/52. Do you ever stop and notice the morning light where you live? ☀️

As a photographer, one of my favorite things to capture has always been the way morning light dances through our home, across houseplants, quiet corners, and yes… the kids too.

But what I love most is how it forces me to slow down.
The light comes and goes so quickly. If I stay busy, I miss it.

This little spot by my coffee bar has been getting the prettiest glow lately. The other morning we were rushing out the door for church, and I almost walked right past it, until I reminded myself to pause and capture it while I could.

Because I knew by the time we came home… it would be gone.

Our P52 community is spending this year slowing down and noticing the everyday, the moments that usually pass quietly.

Each week we’re given a simple prompt as an invitation to observe, photograph, and reflect on the life we’re already living.

Today I’m sharing my take on this week’s prompt, morning light. 🤍 #storytellerp52

Sweater on repeat this winter 🤎
One of those easy throw-on pieces I keep reaching for soft, cozy, and perfect for everyday mom life. I love it with lived-in denim and slippers for mornings at home, but it’s just as good dressed up a bit for errands or school drop-off. A true wear-it-everywhere kind of sweater.

Snack prep doesn’t have to be overwhelming and this little tool makes it so much easier.

These ziplock bag holders keep bags open and upright so I can quickly fill snacks for school lunches, sports days, road trips, or busy afternoons at home. No spills, no juggling bags, and no extra mess on the counter.

If you prep snacks ahead of time (or wish you did), this is one of those simple kitchen finds that actually saves time and sanity especially with kids.
