An Elegant and Beautiful Hostess Gift Idea
An Elegant and Beautiful Hostess Gift Idea that won't break the bank AND shows you care? Look no further - you've found it here! A couple weeks ago I had the absolute honor and privilege of spending time with a group of amazing, like-minded, like-business women at my friend Jennifer Maune's gorgeous home. It was an incredible afternoon filled with conversation, laughter, great food, and the beginnings of some great friendships. I have some incredible friends in my life in so many different ... continue reading...
Seared and Smashed Greek Potato Salad
This Seared and Smashed Greek Potato Salad recipe is sponsored by Produce for Kids. All opinions are my own. Is there any side dish more quintessential to a summer gathering than potato salad? Honestly, I remember we would always have some version of a mayo-mustard potato salad or macaroni salad (I wouldn't touch anyone else's but my mom's) growing up at any gathering, inside or out, in the summer. I'm a huge fan, by the way, of a great creamy potato salad. However, I think it's fun to ... continue reading...
Better Beauty: Toxic Razors
Better Beauty: Toxic Razors explores how the razors we use every day come loaded with toxic ingredients, and what you can do about it. Did you know your razor blades have ingredients?! I am frequently asked how to even begin to clean up products in one's life, and my answer is always to start simple. Unless you have cancer or major endocrine issues, the ideal way is to start with small, doable changes that will eventually add up. I started with skincare and makeup, and even then I ... continue reading...
Chocolate Cranberry Macadamia Nut Bites
Chocolate Cranberry Macadamia Nut Bites are an incredibly delicious way to soothe a sweet tooth without too much sugar. Mix up a batch and store in the fridge for a delicious treat any time! Well, guys, it's safe to say I've given up on Whole30. I'll chat more about why (hint: I just didn't want to anymore) in a later post, but you should know that these chocolates are lower in sugar than most anything you'll find, and they are still most definitely not Whole30 approved. You know what ... continue reading...
No Sugar Added Paleo Banana Almond Muffins
No Sugar Added Paleo Banana Almond Muffins are the perfect way to get that sweet quickbread fix without giving in to sugars or sweeteners! I'm working on a recap post again (man, did I ever mention how hard those are for me to write...?!), but before I jump into that and give you 7 new Whole30 compliant breakfast ideas I had to share these muffins. Partly because I'm just so dang excited about them, and partly because they are definitely included in that breakfast roundup! I know I said ... continue reading...
Whole30 Week 1 + 2 Weeks of Dinner Recipes
Now that we've defined exactly why I'm taking 30 days to reset my body's need for whole, nutrient-dense food, it's time to look at exactly HOW IN THE WORLD I'm going to do this. The good news: I've done this before, have made a considerable number of changes to my diet already, and feel mentally prepared to take this on. The bad news: this is May, people. The month of sheer crazy when it comes to those of us with kiddos in school (and very soon getting out of school for the summer). It's ... continue reading...
Whole30 in May
Whole30 in May shares how one mom of two boys is finding food freedom and healthier living through whole foods and creating more balance. Well friends, it's that time! I've decided to take on the Whole30 challenge for the second time ever this month, and honestly I could not be more excited to do so. It's been almost 4 years since my last one, but this time around feels like it's going to be a completely new experience (which I'll go into in a few minutes). Before I kick of a string of ... continue reading...
Simple DIY Springtime Wreath
Embarrassing fact of the day: up until yesterday my old janky Christmas wreath was still adorning our front door. **SLAPS FOREHEAD** For the record I hardly even noticed until I was driving away earlier in the week and then I was so embarrassed about the state of our door's wreath hanger that I just left the dang wreath up. And ran my tail to Walmart, Pinterest app in hand, to figure out the best way to fix this crazy egregious error of mine. Here's a little ... continue reading...
3-Ingredient Balsamic Maple Strawberry Jam
3-Ingredient Balsamic Maple Strawberry Jam is sweet, tangy and smoky, the perfect accompaniment to any breakfast or snack. You're only 3 ingredients away from wonderful! When I think of jam these days I can’t help but think of the scenes in Despicable Me 2 where Gru reveals that he has created a line of jams and jellies to utilize his previously evil-seeking technologies. It is such a silly thing, but I find myself a little jealous of Gru and his jam-making apparatus. Of course I don’t ... continue reading...
Redefining Self Care for the Working Mom
Redefining Self Care for the Working Mom explores a little more about what self care really means, especially for the working mother. If you’ve heard the story once, you’ve heard it a million times. Girl becomes a mother and pours her entire being into being the best parent she can be. She reads the right books, eats/feeds the right foods, prays continually, disciplines appropriately, and the in the meantime tries to be the domestic goddess she always wanted to be. She does it all, but ... continue reading...
Marie Kondo-ing My Container Garden
Marie Kondo-ing My Container Garden - the one where we chat about my foray into container gardening, why/how I'm changing it up this year, and a few gardening favorites to check out! I feel the need to share this with you right off the bat: if you came to this post to see a gloriously photographed before and after garden situation, you came to the wrong place. This post is more about how my container garden has evolved to a smaller, but more joy-filled, place and where I tell you exactly ... continue reading...
