[VIA] Guys, I won't lie to you: I'm dead tired. Nate was out of town most of this week and the single parenting thing is not for the weak, I'll tell you that much. Parenting in and of itself is super hard, but for any of you moms and dads who are doing it solo for whatever reason, I commend you. Hang in there. You will be appreciated for everything you do - and you're not invisible. That's all. This weekend is going to be full of family and spending time outside while we can. I ... continue reading...
Must-Have Travel Items for the Low-Maintenance Mom
I've always considered myself a fairly low-maintenance person, although I'm sure if you ask my husband his answer might be a smidge different. In the midst of my tween/teen years I remember spending hours, as most girls do (I think) trying to straighten my hair, get the perfect makeup, and generally look as cute as you possibly can when your body is growing and maturing in a million different ways all at once. Such a magical time, right? As soon as I hit that 17-year-old mark, ... continue reading...
Simple Shaved Asparagus Pizza
I love how Spring comes and automatically just seems to know how to make our lives a little bit easier. The craziness of the end of the school year is unrivaled; the programs and commitments never seem to end. Who in their right mind could turn down another last game, another graduation ceremony, another right of passage into the next stage of life? Not I! Thankfully, this is the time of year when beautiful produce starts to make itself known, showing off at farm stands, markets ... continue reading...
Cilantro Lime Jalapeño Pesto
My little dude loves his condiments, and as I look back at my last few food posts it's really no surprise - all manner of barbecue sauce, salsa, guacamole, etc. basically means he got it from his mama. I'm not mad about it. As far as I'm concerned if you have a good handful of delicious condiments you can make just about anything taste new and different. Salsa makes a really great dip (obviously), a fantastic addition to guacamole, it mixes well into beans or rice, can ... continue reading...

[via] FIRST OFF because I love y'all and want to make sure you know - Beautycounter is having an incredible special through the end of the month (or until supplies last) where you can shop our consultant favorites and earn free gifts (that you get to choose from) in doing so >>> check it out here <<< Um, it's getting hot here and can I say I'm not a fan? Is it too early to complain about the heat? Because I know it's going to get worse so I'm trying to soak it all ... continue reading...
Inside-Out Cheese-Crusted Quesadillas
This recipe - method, even - has been a long time coming. See, for as long as I can remember I have been a huge fan of crispy, browned cheese. It all started with lasagna dinners we'd have at my grandparents' house in California - all of our cousins would fight over who got the corner pieces because those were the ones with the most browned cheese on them. I didn't know why, but I loved eating grilled burritos when a little bit of cheddar would sneak out onto the flat ... continue reading...
5 Hacks to Turn You Into a Guacamole Ninja
There comes a time in every guacamole lover's life where you get the holy trinity needed to make world-class guac: perfect avocados (and a LOT of them), amazing veggies, and the time to chop it all up and make it look pretty too. Notice that I said there comes A time - as in one singular moment - when all of this comes together. It won't happen again, my friends, but that doesn't mean you can't get delicious guac anyway! When I was growing up I remember my mom used to make pretty ... continue reading...

Good morning! Man, it really feels like this past week has flown by. Even in the midst of what I'm dubbing the Pollen Flu and a random back injury it went by so fast. I'm officially in training for Mom Summer Mode over here - pinning all the summer activities, looking at potential day camps, wondering how the heck I'm going to hit up the pool with two adventurous boys, and having even more appreciation for the hard work that teachers do. Hug a teacher today! This weekend is supposed ... continue reading...
A Journey of Self-Care: The Importance of a Skincare Regimen
It really all started the year I turned 30, so this story is 3 years in the making. We were still new to central Arkansas, in the midst of looking for a home to buy, had just sold our place in Colorado, and I was soon going to be the mom of a 2-year-old. I knew that I needed some things to change - I needed to eat better, workout more mindfully, spend less time on devices, stop letting my kid watch TV, etc. - but not once during that time did the idea of taking better care of my skin cross my ... continue reading...
Blender Barbecue Sauce
Blender Barbecue Sauce really is the perfect answer to summer's bounty of grilled goodness. From meat to veggies to pizza, this sauce will make anything shine! If you’re anything like me you are likely counting down the minutes until you can officially start grilling season. For those of us in the South that time is now – it’s not too hot, the breeze is cool, and it’s always a welcome treat to get outside and smell the unmistakable aroma of meat and vegetables cooked over an open flame. I ... continue reading...
From the Archives: Fire-Roasted Blender Salsa
For those of you who are loyal blog readers we've seen this fire-roasted blender salsa before, alongside some pretty spectacular oven-baked chips. Trust me, I'm not trying to trick you but rather remind you about just how A-M-A-Z-I-N-G this salsa really is! I remember there being a time in my life when I just couldn't do anything other than dip a chip in salsa and hope that I wouldn't get any of the "chunky stuff" (aka vegetables) on the chip. I loved the flavor, but wasn't ever ... continue reading...

If it's not one thing it's always another, right? After our 2-1/2 weeks of sickness our internet went out this week citing an outage in the area and not being able to fix it until sometime today. That being said, I'm thankful for wireless hotspots to at least keep the wheels turning in my online business and blog! That being said, internet outages are also a welcome change to force me to slow down. The past two days, after the withdrawals passed, we listened to music and made art ... continue reading...
