finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
We put together a little celebration for Charlie’s 2nd birthday this spring. A bee theme since we often call him “Charlie Bee”. Hobby Lobby had the cutest bee things which made it quite easy. Nothing sounded easier than breakfast for dinner so with waffles as the main dish Jem and I took the idea a […]
Guess what’s on the menu for breakfast tomorrow morning? MY FAVORITE SHAKE! Yep, this Key Lime Pie Shake with Arbonne protein is so stinkin’ good. The lime is super refreshing and I honestly love starting the morning with such a hefty boost of greens. It’s a total win! I won’t babble and bob. Here’s the […]
Earlier this year my Reid turned 7 … SEVEN! We celebrated with a Star Wars themed birthday party and it was just too fun and delicious not to share the details! Inspired by our Millennium Falcon waffle maker we planned a Star Wars brunch. The kids had such a blast coming up with names for […]
Ready to hear about the discovery of the year? It’s The Haircut Box … a bundle of supplies and lessons all about how to give awesome haircuts at home. I know, I know. That’s not your thing. You’re less than professional. You don’t want to mess up your little one’s hair. But trust me, you […]
Upon becoming Texans my sister-in-law introduced us to the most wonderful side dish. Ya’ll, corn casserole is absolutely delicious! Truly my favorite thing when we get together for a meal. This dish is perfect with Mexican fare, holiday spreads, and, of course, all things barbecue. My personal favorite is a big ol’ scoop on the […]
It’s been on my to do list for quite a little while to share my most favorite protein shakes ever! It’s creamy and delicious while still being wonderfully healthy. I blend this up 3-4 times a week and have yet to gt tired of it. For a few years now I’ve been on the Arbonne […]
My mom first made this recipe over a decade ago. I had made it clear that mashed potatoes were not my favorite and so, she procured and mastered a delicious scalloped potato option for our holiday menu. Over the years these potatoes have become a family staple – for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and many other […]
Today’s post is sponsored by Pixsee. We’re thrilled to review this smart baby monitor! I’ve been keeping a very fabulous secret over the last few months … my sister is expecting! I’m going to be an auntie again!!! Suffice to say, I’m thrilled. The kids are thrilled. My whole extended family is thrilled. This little […]
I’ve made it a goal to get veggies into my boys via smoothie a few times each week. For a long time they baulked at the idea of a GREEN SMOOTHIE or any other that had a hint of vegetable despite how delicious it may be. And then I named our typical green smoothie … […]
Ok, this is gonna be a fun one! My very first, completely modified recipe! Like, I took a traditional fave and made it quite a bit healthier. I mean, lentils? In banana bread? YES! Jem confirmed, she never would have guessed about the lentils. And the boys gobbled it down. Mama win! You see, with […]
I have always loved garlic. If a recipe calls for one clove, expect two from me … “in the name of wellness”, because, garlic is a real gem in both flavor and immune boosting properties. I’m sure it can be overdone, but I’ve yet to experience that. Take today’s recipe for example, it’s all about […]
