Good mooooooooorning!!! Happy Friday my friends - I'm so glad we made it through another week, relatively unscathed. At least I did, which I'm thankful for. This work-from-home-stay-at-home-motherhood thing is not for the faint of heart, but there's not a thing I would change about it. This week I became the mother of a 5-year-old for the first time, and I just can't get over how lucky I am to have both of my boys. They are sweet and wild, handsome beyond belief, and learning more about them ... continue reading...
Five
5 years ago today I started the biggest adventure I've yet to have on this earth: motherhood. My baby is 5. And I just cannot stop the tears from flowing. How did God so perfectly create this amazing little boy with the biggest heart who would steal mine? How did he get so much blue into one pair of sweet little eyes? How did he replicate my husband's dimples so perfectly, and pair them with the most adorable little smile? I think he knew the mischief this one would get into and ... continue reading...
Peanut Butter Bars
A little personal history for you: there are two desserts that I have absolutely zero self control around, and those are regular pineapple-cherry dump cake and lemon bars. I used to ask for dump cake for my birthday cake, and then I couldn't keep my hands out of the day-old good stuff. My sister and I used to make batches of lemon bars and then the very second they were cool we would eat the entire thing in one sitting. Self control shmelf control! These peanut butter bars stack ... continue reading...

Truth: I spent about an hour last night watching reruns of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on YouTube instead of working. Every time I see something come up on that channel I know I'm going to be worthless for at least 30-60(+) minutes. Anyone else? Just me? It's so fun to see people...having fun! Another truth: I was literally outside all day yesterday. After dropping the boys off at school I went for a much-needed alone time hike (and Facebooked about it here - are you a member ... continue reading...
An Opportunity I Can’t NOT Share
Close your eyes with me for a moment. Take a deep breath. I want you to picture a world where you've taken note of everything you use on your skin and your family's skin. You've searched and looked and can finally say that, without a doubt, the products you're using are safe and not filled with known toxins that are known to cause cancer, endocrine disruption, infertility, and any number of hormone issues. It feels like there is a burden taken off of your shoulders, the balance of fear and ... continue reading...
2-Ingredient Creamy Strawberry Popsicles
I feel like this may be a little premature, this richly satisfying strawberry popsicle recipe, but I can't not share it with you guys! See, since we are now making our own yogurt like the pros we are we now have to create our own arsenal of yogurt-centric recipes! I'm just saying I'm down with helping with the inspiration is all. I'm a big fan of frozen fruit during these times when the fresh stuff isn't perfectly in season, especially for all the smoothies we make around here. Have ... continue reading...

Who else feels like this was a super short week? I mean, with President's Day on Monday I suppose it kind of was short, but I didn't think it would actually feel that way. Does that make sense? Anyway, I am shocked - yet again - that Friday is here already. Shocked and ecstatic! This week was such a roller coaster for me. There were some high highs and low lows and a whole lot in the middle, but looking back I can say without a doubt that it was all good. Also, I would just like to ... continue reading...
Story’s Sixth Day: Remembering the Baby We Lost Never Gets Easier
Six years. The words have echoed in my thoughts for at least the past month, knowing that this day was creeping closer and closer. The sixth year we've been without our first baby. It stings and burns and tears pop up and pour forth the same today as six years ago. Remembering the baby we lost never gets easier. I remember the tiny spot of blood and my anxiety shooting through the roof. The frantic sound of my voice as I told Nate I thought it would be best to head to ... continue reading...
A Day in the Life of a Blogging-Network Marketing Mom
Good morning friends! I've had so many people reach out and ask how in the world a work-from-home mom does it all - the mothering, the working, the standard household things, marriage, friendships, etc. Here's the short answer: I don't know because I don't do it all. It's a balancing act where balance is never really achieved, but you achieve it in the way that's needed for the day and move on. I've always enjoyed reading about fellow entrepreneur's days to see what I can garner from another's ... continue reading...
Jalapeno Cheddar Rice Cakes
Y'all, I won't lie to you here - this very well could be in the top 10 recipes I've ever made in my life. I know food bloggers probably say stuff like that all the time, but I mean it. I could eat this with any meal or AS any meal forever and ever amen. See, I have this love affair with rice. We're a fairly low-carb family, but you put a pot of rice in front of me and I'm going to town. I don't eat it all the time, so when I do I make sure it's totally worth the wait. These jalapeno ... continue reading...
Cinnamon Nut Pear Crumble Yogurt Bowl
I'm about to ROCK YOUR BREAKFAST WORLD, y'all, but first I'm going to need you to see this post on exactly how I make my own vanilla bean yogurt at home. I know it seems out of the ordinary and maybe even a little intimidating, but I promise it's not! HOWEVER if you're not in the mood/don't have the time then store-bought vanilla yogurt (I recommend Siggi's Vanilla!) will work just fine. In typical Heather fashion I've started to become bored to tears with my breakfast routine. I ... continue reading...

HELLO sweet friends! Who else is super glad it's Friday?! I didn't even realize that it was Friday until this morning when I saw my lovely links post on the ol' editorial calendar. It was basically like Christmas when I figured that out! Y'all, the internet finally had some cool stuff this week. I realize that there are always good stories, but when you're a busy mom and don't have time to troll the internet for hours on end it can get kind of daunting when literally ... continue reading...
