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 […]
It feels like February has just flown by. Maybe it’s the fact that my husband is out of town. Maybe it’s the fact that things are picking up for spring. Whatever the cause, the stress has been weighing me down and I’m having a hard time keeping up with responsibilities. Since things have been so […]
Like so many people, I’m concerned with all of the “crap” we’re surrounding ourselves with every day. I like to say that we are the gatekeepers to our home. We decide what comes in, and what stays out. My biggest focus is providing a healthy and safe environment for my family, and the last thing […]
The last few months, I’ve really been struggling with my time management. I’m not really sure how it happened, but suddenly I’m struggling to get everything done on time.

Sometimes, I think it’s fun to mix in a little “meet the blogger” type posts on here. Just a little info to let you know more about me and what drives me to do what I do. My “why,” I guess you could say. See, we all have our passions in life. You know those […]
Hi friends! I’ve got a lot to celebrate this week! If you didn’t know, September 1st marked my 1 year “blogaversary.” It went by unnoticed due to our storm recovery and my blogging hiatus, but I thought it was worth mentioning now! Yesterday was also my birthday! As a celebration of both of those things, […]
Hi friends! I’m back after a brief blogging hiatus! Things are starting to calm down, but before I get back to “normal,” there is a topic I have to get off my chest. Hurricane Harvey. Or Tropical Storm Harvey. Or The Harvey Flood. There are so many different names for this disaster, but the end […]
I’m trying something new on the blog today! I thought I’d do my first ever book review! I’m not a book review blogger, and rarely even discuss what I’m reading. However, the ideas in this book align so well with the heart of my blog that I really wanted to share. This year, you could […]
