Chicken Salad Lovers Unite
Hey ya’ll! I know I normally post my recipes on a Friday but this one is my most requested and I am SO excited to share. I wanted to get this out ASAP so everyone could make for the entire week and not have to worry about lunches (can I get an amen?!?) I normally meal prep on Sundays – you can read more about that here. And shredded chicken in the instant pot is one of the things that I always do. If you don’t own an instant pot, MAN.. you are missing out! I was gifted one after I had Mercy and it’s been a huge staple in…

Pregnancy/Birth/Postpartum FAQs
Ya’ll! I am blown away! This pregnancy is flying by and every time I share that I am ___ weeks pregnant it just has me all in disbelief. I never expected ten years ago that I would be well into my fifth pregnancy. I seriously never even thought about my life as a “mom” and now that is all I think about. I love the chapter of life that changed me as a woman forever and I cannot believe that my oldest is seven years old. That means that I’ve basically been pregnant for the last 8 years since I’ve had them all so close in age. Derrek and I…

With every Friday, my hope is to roll out a new recipe for ya’ll to try over the weekend or the following week. Thankfully, Lidl grocery has helped me bring in some new ideas for meals. We tend to just cook the same things over and over and get into a cooking rut but adding a new recipe every week into our routine really does help! Sometimes they are a flop and the family doesn’t love them but sometimes they are a huge hit like these…

411 on Bluelight
Have you ever heard of blue light? I am going to assume no because until recently I had no idea what it was myself! Blue light comes from the sun, as well as LED lights and digital device screens. People today are exposed to more blue light than ever. Blue light suppresses our body’s release of melatonin, which helps regulate our sleep cycles. More of it during the day helps us to stay awake, and less of it at night makes us sleep better. The problem is that with digital screens at work, home and school, there are more sources of blue light than ever. Most American’s daily screen time…

“Treat Yourself” With Noémie
This post is in partner with Noemie. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. It’s not often that I get the chance to “treat myself” but when I do, it’s MUCH appreciated. Most times, I put myself at the bottom of the family totem pole and it’s nice to do something for me every once in a while. This year, I decided that I wanted to step up my jewelry game and start wearing more luxury pieces that I will eventually be able to pass down to my girls. I’ve never really been a jewelry lover but I’ve recently fallen in love…
