Updated July 2021. It should be apparent at this point in time that I’m a lazy cook. I love easy meals or dishes that just involve dumping things together, and that can feed me for a long while. This bean salsa is the perfect recipe for taco night, potlucks, and even salads. It’s a light […]
Packing Hacks for your Next Move
Moving is almost rarely enjoyable. I mean, you have to pack up all your stuff just to unpack it again somewhere else? You eat off of paper plates with plastic utensils for your last week because you know your kitchen takes the most to pack. You shift boxes around for weeks while you try and […]

Adventures in Gardening: My Raised Bed Garden Journey
Updated for 2021! Part of me has ALWAYS wanted to have a garden. Even when I was in apartments, I loved going to the Spring Black Friday sale at Home Depot and getting something green for my home that I could tend and watch grow. Now, in all fairness, I have not always been successful. […]

For the sake of […]

Well, it’s that time of year again. It’s Valentine’s Day. If you’re like me, you don’t have a (human) valentine. Let me tell you something: It’s okay! Valentine’s Day has been over-capitalized.

Goodbye, dumpster fire. Hello, 2021!
I don’t know of anyone who is sad to see 2020 go. However, as Aslan says, “What’s done is done. There is no need to speak to…what is past.” Let’s welcome in 2021 with open arms. If we have hope, it’s bound to be a better year. In 2020, I had only two goals: Pay […]

We’ve all found different ways to cope or entertain ourselves. Since there doesn’t look to be an end in sight, try getting some gifts for your friends and family […]
A little update.
Hey friends. You may have noticed that I haven’t been writing as often on Adventures In Nonsense. Though, based on the numbers, you probably haven’t. If I’m being entirely honest, 2020 kind of caught up with me. I had tried to blog and kind of pretend that things weren’t really happening, but that was pointless. […]
