Are you needing some inspiration for what to make for dinner this week? Here are 5 low carb-recipes that should be added to your repertoire immediately. They are all dairy-free, gluten-free, and low-carb slash keto-friendly. It’s the age old question: what the heck do I make for dinner? In our house, that question is compounded because I have to factor in the recipe needing to be dairy-free, low carb, and appeal to my children (which is basically impossible). So when I come across a recipe that satisfies at least two of the three (my children are truly a lost cause,…

Want to know what’s new in the Etsy shop? Lots and lots of stitchery, that’s what. Embroidered portraits abound, with a crossed stitch piece and a textile landscape thrown in for good measure. It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve updated the Made With Lev Etsy shop. (Probably because it actually has been ages since I’ve updated the shop.) It’s not for lack of having things to list, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, it has everything to do with the old ADHD adage of out of site out of mind. Yep. I totally forgot that I had so many embroidery…

Want to know what I read in March? I’ll give you a hint, it was a LOT. And it had everything to do with romance, college athletes, and suspense. Of course, I wouldn’t have it any other way. To say that I’ve gone full force into reading would probably be an understatement. I have officially exceeded my reading goal for THE YEAR in a span of 3 months, with 57 books read to date and another 2 in the process of being read (and listened to). In March alone, I read 28 books. TWENTY. EIGHT. BOOKS. (I legit just shocked myself…

As a chronic over-doer who likes to dive feet first into really involved projects, make sweeping changes to my life (and menu) on a whim, and decide that I need to do eight million things to be the best version of myself I can be … ooooonly to realize a week or two later that I’ve take on too much and struggle to keep up, I know first hand how hard it can be to make lasting changes.  I also know how frustrating that cycle of planning, doing, failing, and chastising truly is.  Which is why last month, while I…

After January’s reading binge, I was curious to see if I was able to keep up the same pace. Turns out, I was. Almost. I had a few books that I didn’t finish and found myself in a slump where I just couldn’t seem to motivate myself to read or listen to pretty much anything. Hello, creative slump. Thankfully, I found a series at the end of the month that captured my attention and spent 3 days binge-reading every book in the series. PHEW. My reading queue was more of the same, with romance novels taking up most of the space…

If there’s one thing we have a lot of in this house, it’s art. The kids love to paint and make collages, so we are always swimming in paper. The problem is, not everything is fridge or frame worthy so it just sits in a pile collecting dust. In the past, I have cut their creations into 3×3 squares and mounted them on little wooden canvases to create cool abstract art. This time, I wanted to try something new. Several (SEVERAL) years ago, I came across an artisan who had sewn bits of paper onto notecards to create some really…
