I have to admit: I am that weirdo–I really love to do laundry. It sounds so silly, but it is one of my favorite household chores. It’s like you’re doing so much work with minimal effort–the washer works overtime for you. (We just won’t discuss the folding part.) I used to buy… well, I honestly […]
Does anyone else ever have tiny annoyances in the kitchen that you just work around? Sometimes I’m very much a problem solver, but other times I think I just conform to the problem and work around it. Brown sugar is a perfect example. My brown sugar always turns into a hard concrete block. Often I […]
I have never been a huge oatmeal fan. I didn’t grow up eating oatmeal, and I never was really aware of the huge benefits of eating oats either. When I posted my recipe for a fast and easy breakfast parfait (which included old-fashioned, uncooked oats), I had several people ask me if I had tried […]

I love strawberries. Strawberries with whipped cream, over an angel food cake, cheese cake, a strawberry shake, strawberry ice cream… okay those are all desserts–busted. But I really do love anything with strawberries! I use strawberries in cereal, smoothies, breakfast parfaits (if you need a stellar recipe for that, click here!), kombucha, and of course […]
Yall might remember that I have been on the hunt for breakfast recipes forever! I struggled and struggled to find a breakfast that I really enjoy (blasphemy, I know!) that is also healthy. *This post does have affiliated links.

We all know it–Scrubbing Bubbles (or any other store bought cleaner) is easy. You buy your product. You spray. Let it sit. Rinse it out. It’s easy peasy. However, we all know that sometimes these products are harsh! Now I’m not one completely against store-bought cleaners–like don’t even try to touch my Mrs. Meyers! But […]

Dear Mom, I know your heart is so full for your child. Your love is bursting. Overflowing. Bold. Mighty. Unending. Genuine. Your love for your child is so pure. They just aren’t here yet. I don’t know where your life situation, body, or journey is, but I know your heart. I feel your pain. Your circle of friends […]
Florida, Florida, Florida. I can’t stop talking about Florida. It really took me a while to get adjusted to God’s promise of us living in Florida. I didn’t love the weather or palm trees (blasphemy!). My husband is a beach bum, while I am a mountain girl. However, after about a year and a half, […]
Yall, I love to entertain. It gives me great joy to have people over, cook them a meal, and make sure they are comfortable in our home. When Zack and I lived in Nashville, we would have friends and family over often–for dinner, parties, or just to hang out. It was always a joy of ours […]
Yall have heard me on my soapbox lately about how I have not yet perfected my spring holiday decor. I went into the homes of friends and family whom I really respect and love their style. Sisters Carrie and Sherry are such inspiration for me! With Easter being right in front of us (and seemingly […]
Living in Orlando, Florida has so many perks–Disney World, Universal, tons of beaches, pools are more common, outdoor activities are everywhere, lots of small little towns to visit, and spring comes faster. When you live in an amazing city so close to the beach and other tourists spots, you get lots of guests. Zack and […]
March is here, St. Patrick’s Day is coming: Time to “Get Your Green On!” I don’t know about yall, but these spring holidays are the hardest for me to decorate tastefully! I have been taking a peek into my friends and family’s homes to tap into their classic ways to decorate for these holidays! Today, […]
Essential oils are all the rage now, and with good reason. The holistic approaches are coming back. Not everyone jumps for the medication anymore. The transition has been from popping pills to finding the right foods or natural remedies to reset the body. I gotta say, I am all for it! Disclaimer: this is not […]
The Countdown to Valentine’s Day continues! Before I get into the gift giving posts, I wanted to chat about Valentine’s Day gifts that are absolutely free. This time of the year– post-Christmas, mid-tax season–is always heavily weighted as what to purchase. Roses jack up in price, the most expensive restaurants are being booked (weeks in […]
Being a teacher by trade, I understand the struggle with crafts–especially when it comes to a class of 20 six-year-olds. I get the swell of pride a child gets when giving away their over-glued and glittered craft to their parent–the joy a parent gets when they receive this gift from their bright-eyed and sticky child. […]
February is here, and it is nearly Valentine’s Day! I am so excited to announce another blog series that I have been working on: Count Down to Valentine’s Day! This series will contain 6 different blog posts featuring the top 5 of their category! Let’s start off with The Countdown to Valentine’s Day #6: Valentine’s […]
