Easiest. Mexi-Mac. EVER.

This post will be straightforward and to the point.

You're hungry.

And you just got home from work.

You're tired.

The maid didn't show up to clean your house, nor did the personal chef to prepare your dinner.

Well crap.

Here comes the age-old question: what's for dinner?

This is what you're going to make for dinner.

Right now!!

It's delicious, I promise.

Mexican-Style Macaroni & Cheese

Here's what you need:

Just these guys. That's it.

Rotel.

Corn.

Black beans.

And your favorite box of macaroni and cheese WITH A SAUCE PACKET.

Not the powder kind. It won't work as well.

Now cook the mac & cheese according to package directions.

Drain your corn and beans.

I know it's hard.

You can even drain your pasta on top of these two and then dump it back into your pot

That's what I did:

After adding the cheese packet and Rotel, stir until combined.

Now eat!

Mmm.

So good.

If you really wanted, you could add taco-seasoned ground turkey or beef.

But for this recipe, if you ask me, ain't nobody got time for that!

I can't help you clean your house.

Sorry!

Let's Play Series: Summer is HERE!

I'm trying to get my life together (I feel like I'm always saying this!) and I've come up with a summer schedule for my 2 and 3 year old! I wanted a schedule that allows for lots of playtime and exploration in a laid back, no pressure kind of way. I didn't want to be on a specific timeline, so I only chose a few things that require a specific time commitment. The rest of our schedule is on our terms! This is the first summer that I feel like I'm ready for something structured. My kids are 19 months apart, and my youngest is now about 2.5 and I'm not tied down with needing to breastfeed a baby or rushing home for nap times (car naps are the WORST!!). I'm still pretty rigid with nap times, but they are old enough that we can be a little more flexible and it's not that big of a deal anymore. Last summer, my husband was deployed, so trying to do things by myself all the time with a 1 and 2 year old was truly a struggle some days. So I am READY to embrace a...

The Long-Anticipated Blog Name Change!!

I started my blog in May 2010, and I didn't even write a single post for nearly 2 years. I wanted a blog, but I didn't know what I wanted to do with it . I remember just sitting in my living room, newly married, and just slapping a name on the blog: Domestic Diva Domain ( I love alliteration, okay?! It's the cutesy preschool teacher in me!). I didn't love it, but I thought, it'll do. Fast-forward a few years, and I dabbled in different topics, such as recipes, DIY tutorials, a few random updates about my life, and some Wordless Wednesday posts with just photos. I spent some time trying to understand how to format a blog and realized I'd never understand coding! Everything I know about blogging was learned from countless hours basically doing trial and error using the provided templates. I linked up a few of my posts with Pinterest and that got me A LOT of views! One of my posts has been linked in many online articles about creative storage for the home. I...

Making Myself A Priority: A Journey

You know what is kind of cool? Every time I work out, in the middle of all the sweat and struggle and discomfort and thoughts of "this is hard; I want to quit", I also have these really amazing thoughts of perseverance during hard times. It's almost like the clouds of negativity dissipate in my mind, allowing positive thoughts to filter in. I kind of bask in the high of my endorphins, and let the inspirational thoughts float around in my head! Back when I went to the gym, I would get these thoughts too. I always remember thinking that I wished I had a way to blog while running on the treadmill because I would get these inspirational thoughts and I wanted to write them down! I would finish my workout and basically run to the nearest table and chair just so I could whip out my phone and jot down my thoughts! And now, I'm sitting on the edge of my chair, all sweaty, post-workout, to get this all written down! My thoughts never seem to come out as fluidly if I wa...
