Change is coming | the simple proofI’ve been curating this little corner of this web of mine for more than 2 years now.  I’ve labored over each word of the more than 300 posts published here.  I am so very proud of each piece of content I’ve shared, each idea, or personal story.  I’ve also grown as a photographer and writer through this space of mine.  Where I once thought this may be strictly a family food blog, I’ve discovered how much I enjoy sharing our life with you.  A Bowl Full of Simple has become more than just food, but a place to come for home and garden inspiration, style, entertaining and travel all with families in mind.  That is why the time has come to change the name of this site.  I have been brewing on this for quite a while.  Through many discussions with my talented new friends at The Wonder Jam and more discussions than I care to admit within my own head, the new name will encompass all that is to come.  The Simple Proof that a beautiful thoughtful life is easier than you may think. Proof that dinner parties don’t need to be intimidating or that traveling with children prohibitive.  Simple Proof every day that intentional living is seeing the beauty in the little things and making moments wherever you are.

I hope you all will love the new design.  I gathered A LOT of inspiration along the way in developing this new look.  I feel it reflects the aethestic of my style and vision more accurately.  The new design will be simple to follow, clean and easily navigable.  Readers new and returning will always find something new to discover.

Stay tuned.

on the menu 03.2.15

This week’s menu was inspired by some new recipes and lots of citrus.  I was feeling a little uninspired with my dinner routine around here.  I spent a few minutes browsing some favorite pinners and boards to find a couple of new recipes to work from.  I have to admit that I’m not very good […]

I’ve been on the hunt for a new lovely neutral cross body handbag for spring.  I love the look of a soft pastel nude or light gray to make that transition from winter to early spring.  A bonus is one that will suit casual or dressy outfits equally.  Here are four I have my eye […]

compost bins

Does your town offer compost collection?  Last spring, I grew fed up with the ugly green plastic countertop bin our local compost collection company offered.  It was ugly and plastic and frankly, it smelled.  I did a little web searching for a more stylish bin that I wouldn’t mind leaving on my counter.  I chose […]

We had an idea of taking a big Pacific Northwest Road Trip this summer.  We’d love to see friends in Portland and Seattle while also visiting places the kids have never been like Crater Lake, Mt. Hood, and Whidbey Island.  We are hoping to carve out a few days for pure adventure and exploring.  It’s […]
