For the last 8 years or so, I’ve been on a mission to detoxify my life. It’s been a slow process. I embraced the act of learning as I went, and made priorities in regards to what I’d switch out next. Like with most moms, I put my own personal products last on the list, and […]
I have spent most of my adult life swearing that meal prep days are more trouble than they’re worth. As much as I enjoy cooking, I really don’t like giving up an entire day to do it. So, I refused for the longest time. In January, I suddenly found myself in the mood to prep […]
