Our favorite learning apps for kids details which apps we've loved and seen huge success with in teaching our boys while still providing a fun experience for them as well. While this list isn't totally comprehensive, these apps are tried and true! I'll just start with this: yes, there is a huge debate about how much screen time kids should have. Where do we land with all of it? Honestly, we're trying to find the balance just like the rest of the world. We really value hands-on outdoor ... continue reading...

I'm going to put this first because honestly? I know I benefit from sales of Beautycounter products, but there are SO MANY friends who have told me they are looking for cleaner, better ways to combat their oily skin. And now I have a clearcut answer that I have tried and tested in our new Countercontrol line! Countercontrol is formulated to treat the actual causes of acne (overproduction of sebum, bacteria, inflammation, and a buildup of dead skin cells). It's safe for everyone to use, and has ... continue reading...
Paleo Knock Off Chick-Fil-A Nuggets
Paleo Knock Off Chick-Fil-A Nuggets are the answer to the age-old frustration for those who crave Chick-Fil-A nuggets but who want to eat a primarily paleo diet, too. They are flavorful, tender, freeze and reheat like a dream, and are kid-approved from two of the pickiest eaters I know! Alright alright alright, WHO is excited about a great nugget recipe?! (waves hands frantically in the air) I had zero intention of ever sharing this recipe, y'all, but it turned out SO WELL ... continue reading...
Creating Haven
Haven. A safe place. A place to come home to. Where one feels simultaneously protection and peace, love and acceptance, a place to live fully and without fear. I admit that my home doesn’t always feel like a haven. As a mother, I don’t always feel like I am their haven. I can hear it now – “Heather, you have to give yourself grace. Parenting is hard. It’s a season. This too will pass.” And you’re right. I do need to extend myself more grace, but not to the ... continue reading...

It's Friday y'all, and I'm so excited! After a stressful first week of school it's a good time to sit back and rest/have fun with my family. Getting back into the swing of things brings with it a need to focus on new behaviors for all of us, which isn't the easiest to implement. I've spent a lot of time in prayer, a lot of time in worship, and a lot of time trying to focus on things that really matter. If you follow me on Instagram you've probably seen me cry a little this week, and ... continue reading...
Butternut Squash and Cauliflower Breakfast Power Skillet
This Butternut Squash and Cauliflower Breakfast Power Skillet is a hearty and nutrition-dense way to start any day! By combining the fiber and nutrients in butternut squash and cauliflower, plus a perfect runny egg and avocado, you'll have a power skillet that will keep anyone full and feeling great all morning! I've admitted this to you all before, but when it comes to food I find myself in a breakfast rut all the time. I'm a busy mom who needs to have energy to chase after her kids while ... continue reading...
Last Hurrah Summer Fun
This last hurrah summer fun post is sponsored by Wild River Country. All opinions are my own. I grew up in a small(ish) town in West Texas where the one water park opened and closed with the school year. While I realize this is probably pretty normal almost everywhere you go, I remember feeling so sad that one of my favorite places couldn’t be enjoyed in the end-of-summer September heat. Come Labor Day we’d be sweating it out, same as we did in July and August, with nowhere to go. No last ... continue reading...

It's the Friday before school starts. I'll have exponentially more free time to work, workout, invest in my community. I'll also have a giant hole in my heart every day til I get my boys from school. While I know that school and routine is good for all of us, I also know that yet again I've totally missed the mark on being what I would consider a truly great mom for them during the summer. I realize that sounds harsh...but it feels even worse. I could blame the two power outages, ... continue reading...
An Unheard of Deal on Better Beauty
Sorry for the stock photo, but y'all - I can't get over this deal from Beautycounter that YOU have exclusive access to a day early! All orders placed with the code 'LOVE' at checkout will receive 20% off of the entire order (a few exclusions apply)! We've never had a promotion like this before, and our last one that even came close broke the website. Needless to say inventory will be flying, so if you've been eyeing some safe beauty staples, better skincare, incredible makeup, or ... continue reading...
Letting Go and Letting the Inner Kid Come Out to Play!
This post is sponsored by Wild River Country. All opinions are my own. Earlier this summer, around the end of the school year, I had grand plans. Plans to move my entire family over to a Paleo diet, plans to practically homeschool the boys while they were home for a few months, plans to nix screen time, and of course plans to turn them into classical musicians…you know, in my down time. These were just the things I figured we could do in the mornings, whereas of course we would be summering ... continue reading...

Oh hey there friend. Can I still call you that, even though I'm super inconsistent and barely keeping my head above water these days? I don't know what it is - I suppose I could blame it on summer since I remember feeling this way last year too - but I just am struggling a little this week. Tired, in every sense of the word, ready for a change (vacation? weather? both?), and maybe a little stuck? The good news is the best way to wiggle out of this little emotional tango I'm doing is ... continue reading...
Better Beauty: A Tale of Two Mascaras
For a very long time I've really only ever been a mascara girl. Other makeup products have come and gone, but because I think my eyes are my best feature (and my eyelashes are pretty blonde) I've always been one to make sure that I never went long without a coat of the black stuff to really make them pop. Before we jump into the actual battle of the two mascaras in this post, I just want to draw attention to the fact that not all mascaras are created equal. (And the ... continue reading...
