Announcement!

July 28, 2015 by Annie Chesson 34 Comments

Hello everyone! I need to keep this post pretty short, but I just wanted to let everyone know why I will be  a little absent for the rest of this week. This last week has been a complete whirlwind. I went into a local Christian school where Seth and I live to see if they had any volunteer or part time work available, and I ended up with an offer to teach English full time (grades ...

“One a Day” Project Update

July 22, 2015 by Annie Chesson 21 Comments

It's been about a week and a half since I started the One a Day Project! In case you missed the last post, the goal behind this whole thing is to drink one smoothie and eat one salad every single day so that we can eat healthier and get lots of fruits and veggies in our bodies! There are several things I have learned from this experience so far, but the following is the first and most ...

“One a Day” Project

July 11, 2015 by Annie Chesson 16 Comments

This post is about to be super weird because there are no pictures.....I FEEL NAKED. Here... That's better. Soooo, this One a Day project. What is it? The goal behind it is to drink one smoothie and eat one salad every single day. Doesn't matter what time, doesn't matter for what meal/snack, doesn't matter the size or ingredients. It's simple. Just one smoothie and one salad. ...

One Year Wedding Anniversary!

June 28, 2015 by Annie Chesson 31 Comments

Today is Seth and I's one year wedding anniversary! And let me just tell you how fast this year has gone by. I feel like it was a month or two ago that I was walking down the aisle, but then again when I look back on everything that has happened this year it feels like we have been married forever. I usually don't write posts like this (non food/DIY related), but I wanted to do it for Seth and ...

Free Printable Father’s Day Cards

June 18, 2015 by Annie Chesson 16 Comments

Happy (almost) Father's Day to any awesome dads out there! When we were kids, I feel like we always did the same thing for my dad every year - bought him ties and made him a chocolate cake with a tie frosted on top. My mom would bake the cake and frost the outline of the tie and then my brothers and I would..."decorate" (aka cover the top of the cake in as much colored frosting as possible)...the ...

Homemade Whipped Eucalyptus Shaving Cream

June 1, 2015 by Annie Chesson 114 Comments

When we were in New Mexico for Christmas this past year, my brother gave Seth this super fancy shmancy shaving cream from Bath and Body Works. It smelled like Eucalyptus and basically felt like a full out spa treatment for your face. He really enjoyed using it but recently ran out. And by ran out I mean legit ran out...that dude did everything short of using a high powered vacuum to get every ...

$10 Target Dollar Spot Revamp

May 16, 2015 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

You probably haven't noticed since it is a small detail change, but the tagline under my blog title has switched from "Light Food That Doesn't Skimp on Flavor" to "Food and Life With a Punch of Flavor." For a few months now I've thought it would be fun to throw in a few DIY/random other things on here every once in a while apart from just food (like my Free Downloadable Weekly Cleaning Checklist). ...

Weekly Cleaning Checklist (with free downloadable)

April 17, 2015 by Annie Chesson 21 Comments

I have never been someone who is great at keeping my whole house clean. I really wish I was one of those UBER naturally clean people whose homes are always immaculate...that would be awesome. But, nope! Not me. Seth is the same way. The downstairs stays clean-ish...like surface clean. This place hasn't been dusted in I don't even know how long. And the upstairs is almost always pretty ...
