The Capitol Building The White House (and the Washington Monument sticking up a little behind it) My mom always says there is nothing better than leaving for a vacation and nothing better than coming home from a vacation. That is where we are at. Thankful for a trip we will all never forget, but also … Continue reading Back Home
Vacation and the Holy Week
I have some exciting news! Living Proofed is on a family vacation. We decided we would take our kids to the nation's capital this year over spring break, so we have been busily preparing for that and are very excited to make the California to east coast trip. I will post more updates on Instagram … Continue reading Vacation and the Holy Week
Spring!
I really love the changing of the seasons. By the time the weather changes, I am always ready for the next season to arrive. And while I love the winter and fall months for their coziness and holidays, it is hard to deny there is something magical about spring. It is all new growth and … Continue reading Spring!
Enough Update
Two and a half months into 2019, and I thought I would give a little update on how I am doing with my mantra this year of enough.

Bread for Nonna
This week's giveaway was done at a birthday party, but to be a bit silly, I didn't actually gift it to the birthday girl. I mean, she is absolutely an amazing young woman. She just turned 14, and it is impossible for you to have met a more grounded, fun, adventurous or talented girl. Given … Continue reading Bread for Nonna
Where I Am at, and Where I Am Headed
So here's the thing. I am approaching a year of baking and gifting bread. I have 4 giveaways left until I reach the magical number of 52, and I couldn't be more excited. This milestone was always the one I pictured before I even started the project. I couldn't wait to see what would change … Continue reading Where I Am at, and Where I Am Headed
My Neighborhood
Saturday Morning Delivery We are very blessed to live on a quiet cul de sac. I grew up outside of town, and therefore did not experience the townie life in the way that lots of kids do, walking home from school, or walking a few streets over to your friend's house and heading to the … Continue reading My Neighborhood
Two Giveaways, a Cookie, and a Project
I make a great birthday gift! I can't believe we are almost three weeks into the new year! I am used to it feeling like the year is speeding by, but I don't generally feel that way in January. So I have a little catching up to do on my giveaways, sharing a new recipe … Continue reading Two Giveaways, a Cookie, and a Project
