THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY FLORIDA CITRUS. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. Raise your hand if you want a really fabulous breakfast without having to try super hard?   *WAVING BOTH HANDS IN THE AIR*   Well, my sweet friends, I have you covered. This amazing breakfast tastes SO fantastic and takes minimal effort to throw together, not to mention it actually makes a really great "dessert" (or lunch or dinner or snack) as well. We served ours with fresh fruit on the side for a ... continue reading...

SUMMER IS HERE Y'ALL! Who else is loving it? So far I'm really digging the playing outside/pool time/long days...but real talk? The heat is already super annoying. And it's not even actually summer yet - yikes! Either way, we have a lot planned and a LOT that I'm excited about (travels, parties, lessons, work plans, etc) so I'm not going to let the heat get the best of me yet.   Enough about the weather - what are you guys up to this weekend?! I hope it's amazing, whatever it is, and ... continue reading...

Tonight I'm going to be doing a podcast interview with one of my favorite bloggers ON THE PLANET and you guys? I could not be more excited! Kristen is such a role model to me in this crazy blogging world; when everything is shouting GO GO GO and DO IT ALL I see her modeling a life of balance and authenticity. We can't do it all, and we were never made to.   Plus, want to know a secret? I'd love to start a podcast some day. That some day could be in a week, it could be in a few ... continue reading...

[via]   Sweet friends! I hope you guys have had a wonderful short week! I know ours has been a little crazy - lots of teething, a random bout of stomach flu, and some binge-watching of Peaky Blinders. In a nutshell it's been stressful and beautiful, and I'm so glad it's the weekend again. YAY.   I hope y'all have the best one yet! XOXO   1. For all my fellow boy moms - HILARIOUS BECAUSE IT'S TRUE! (Blunt Moms) 2. Mind your own womb. Painfully truthful, definitely ... continue reading...

This is a sponsored post written in partnership with The Women Bloggers on behalf of their client Gerber® Cereal. All thoughts and opinions are my own. #CookingWithGerber *THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS!* First off, can you even stand how adorable that dude up there is?! He's currently in the middle of the worst teething I've ever seen - upset tummy, runny nose, doesn't want to eat anything but soft foods and purees. It's so sad! Luckily he was the sweetest ... continue reading...

True story: when I made this cake I immediately had to text Nate and tell him he should expect the whole cake to still be on the table when he got home. I had to make sure I had some accountability because this cake was INSANE and I would have eaten the whole thing myself.   Another true story: the sweet people at Wicked Mix sent a box of goodies home with Nate this past weekend as a thank you for this post on Arkansas Women Bloggers...and I ate three bags all by myself. In my defense ... continue reading...

To the men and women who are serving our country, with the face of death and danger waiting around any turn, thank you.   To the men and women who selflessly live without the ones they love, a side effect of the protection of freedom, thank you.   To the children who are living without their mom or dad, who have a first-hand example of selfless love, courage, and bravery. Thank you.   To the moms and dads who bravely let go of their child's hand and trusted that ... continue reading...

[via]   First of all, guys? This is Lovely Links #52 - a full year of sharing the things I love with y'all! I feel like it's so fun to read round-ups from other bloggers because it gives some insight into who they are and what they enjoy. Just another layer, right?   Second, I totally didn't realize that I only posted one other time this week (oops), although it's certainly one you should check out because HELLO COMFORT FOOD. Make it this weekend, on any of the THREE DAYS! ... continue reading...

Otherwise known as carb overload, amiright?! Y'all, I won't lie - this is one dish you'll want to make for an army (and it feeds an army too) because it's so yummy you'll want to eat the whole dang thing by yourself!   Riceland is an amazing company with a fantastic product, and I've been so proud to work with them on photographing some of their existing delicious recipes. This is one of those very recipes; creamy, cheesy, gooey, good. It works great for any meal too - so eat it up ... continue reading...
