Hi and welcome to No Ordinary Wisdom! We are two ordinary moms that want to share our ordinary wisdom and maybe a few giggles about all that life sends our way. We have felt this calling to reach other women in this crazy world and tell you that normal is ok. We are not here […]
Monday: Summer grill and fresh veggies: We got loads of goods in our CSA box this week so we are having steak + roasted potatoes, sautéed okra, green beans, and cucumber and tomato salad Tuesday: Taco Tuesday + fresh salsa because of so many tomatoes. Pair with lime tortilla chips…sooo good. We have found several recipes […]
Several years ago, I was introduced to the concept of the hula hoop. No, not the toy we all played around with in our childhood years. This is the idea that figuratively, we all have a hula hoop and it represents the things in life that are ours to concern ourselves with and what we […]
Truth for Today Cards: Sarah gifted me these scripture cards once and I simply love them. I keep them on my kitchen counter and enjoy the truth they speak daily. The watercolor art is perfect in my opinion and pretty to look at. These make a great gift. Meaningful and pretty, bingo! Kids Art Frames: […]
Here we are on the back half of July already! Kinda wild right? If you are a mama I know you are starting to mentally check out of summer and think about the school year just around the corner. Summer has seemingly flown by and at the same time, felt so long. Anyone else? We […]
I am 7.5 years into motherhood and boy have I learned so much over the years. Recently, in the last few months with all the events of Sarah’s girls and my girls the term “hold loosely” has never been more applicable than ever. I wish I could have had that wisdom about 4 years ago. My […]
The White Suitcase: I definitely copied Sarah on this suitcase. I have never had proper luggage and her previous job brought on frequent travel. She highly recommended this suitcase and I followed suit and simply love it! This suitcase packs a punch with two generous compartments. The spinner wheels make it so easy to roll […]
I love eating in mid summer. There are a million fresh vegetables and is there truly anything like a garden fresh tomato?? We are getting a CSA delivery tomorrow and I look forward to it every time but it always feels extra special in the summer. We can safely say this weeks meal plan is […]
Many years ago my work life involved a lot of air travel, often on a 3.5-4 hour haul back and forth to Las Vegas to work with marketing teams of hotel properties. This may sound a bit glamorous but as an introvert who prefers quiet, lets just say Vegas was not my jam haha. One […]
The summer reading edition for HDH. Let me preface and say that I am not a reader currently. I do enjoy a good book and will love to read one day. Sarah is good at listening to audio books and multitasking, but I haven’t joined that world either. The list of books recommended today are […]
Monday: Peach Salsa Halloumi Bowls Get ready for a taste of summer in your mouth. I honestly didn’t know what halloumi was, so you are not alone, ha! I would personally add a grilled fish or chicken to this summer explosion. This recipe starts with our favorite coconut rice plus some beans for fiber. Top […]
