Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How was your weekend?! I hope it was good. Early Saturday morning we picked up a U-Haul trailer here in Coeur d’Alene and towed it over to Olympia, Washington where we loaded it with all of our belongings from our 5×10 storage unit. Everything we own has been in storage during our travels and this weekend we hauled it all back to Coeur d’Alene!
We don’t have much. Most of what we stored was photos, memory/sentimental items, kids toys/books and kitchen stuff (like my Fiestaware). It took us about 30 minutes to load/unload the trailer with all our worldly possessions. 🙂 Moving into the house later this week should be a piece of cake. . .and then the process of finding furniture begins!
So it was a hectic weekend – with lots of driving – but worth the effort. This week is now a waiting game as we prepare to get the keys for our house (hopefully Friday) and then the whirlwind of moving in before school starts. I’ll be updating you as I know more! Follow us on Instagram to get real-time updates.
Got tomatoes? This roasted marinara recipe could not be any easier and it beats jarred or canned sauce by a landslide. I admittedly tried to make a homemade marinara sauce in the crockpot last fall and it was a MAJOR fail. I don’t know why, but it just tasted bitter and blah. But this, this is how you make marinara sauce – roasted.
I wanted to highlight this deal on American Girl Magazine – just $15.95 per year (40% off), through Tuesday! You can order up to two (2) years at this price. Just enter coupon code QUEENBEE at checkout and the price should drop.
