This post is an old favorite pulled from my archives. With spring finally here, this salad is the perfect fresh side dish (or, let's be honest, a main dish because it's just that good!). :) My dear friend Jordan and I get together whenever we can - we live about 2 hours apart but we still do our best! :) Once when we ate supper together, she introduced me to this amazingly delicious side dish that she and her husband love! This fresh salad with apple slices and feta is such a fun … [Read more...]

Homemaking Checklists Roundup (+ a Giveaway!)
Over the past few years, I've really been able to hone in on certain, more specific topics for Just Bee.

Tips For Managing Your Blog When You Also Work a Full-Time Job
If you've been around this blog for a while, then you probably know that I am a teacher besides being a blogger. My husband and I actually both teach at the area elementary/middle school near us (which works out pretty well for a carpooling situation!). I also, of course, have this blog! I've been blogging for a long time now, although several years of my early blogging endeavors were more of a college-musings type journal under a different domain name. I rebranded to Just Bee the summer of … [Read more...]
Kitchen Tidying Checklist (Free Printable!)
Which housekeeping tasks fill you with a sense of satisfaction? I feel the most settled on evenings when I leave a clean, tidy kitchen downstairs. I just love glancing back at the freshly wiped countertops, the dish-less white farmhouse sink, and flipping the little yellowy sink light off before heading upstairs for the night, knowing all is well and all is set for the next day. But – I don’t want to spend all evening after work standing in the kitchen! So it's important to … [Read more...]
Bible Verses for the Work Week (Free Printables!)
Sometimes the work week almost surprises us - shocks us wide awake with its noise, its tasks, its hustle and bustle, and its audacity! And unfortunately, I sometimes don't enter my work week prepared with an attitude and emotional resiliency that only God can give. I don't always "have time" in the morning to sit down and really soak in truths from my Creator. I tend to rush through my day, checking off tasks and allowing my frustrations to mount until afternoon, when it really hits me just how … [Read more...]
My Poetry Journey (+ my poem “The Dock”)
In an effort to open up even more, like I mentioned in this post, today I wanted to share about something I love! Something you may not know about me: I write poetry! My Poetry Journey The love affair began when I was in 2nd grade and won a little contest for an extremely short poem on "generosity." :) I can still remember terrified little me reading my 1-liner out loud at the city council meeting. At least I got a $50 savings bond out of it...Ha! Then, a couple years later, a wonderful … [Read more...]
