links + small things

We’ve been rolling out gift guides this week on the blog! I hope you’ve found them helpful! We’re also at the end of the first week with the new site design and I’m so happy that ya’ll have found things easier to find. Like I said, it was redesigned to better serve you and how you use the site, so it’s very satisfying to know you can find what you’re looking for!

I shared on Tuesday that we’ve adopted the “taco Tuesday” routine in our weekly meal plans. For some reason beyond my understanding, I only started feeding my kids tacos a few months ago. I don’t really know why, perhaps I thought they were going to be too spicy? Anyway, the boys love them along with Justin and myself! Emily is not that big of a fan, which is understandable, so I simply make her a quesadilla instead!

If I have avocados, I’ll make homemade guacamole. My sisters’ recipe is the very best, you can find it by clicking here. I also shared that we love the fresh tortillas from Costco (or Walmart!). My friend Caroline introduced these to me and they are *SO GOOD*!

Do you have a weekly dinner plan that you follow, even if it’s just deciding on a certain cuisine to have each night of the week? I shared a meal planning trick that helped make that task easier to tackle on this post.

And here are a few things I mentioned on Instagram Stories recently that you may have missed:
