As the girls get older, I catch myself remembering some of the things I use to say.

Before oils, I didn’t realize how much I could actually use them for and now I feel like there is an oil for everything. I am very picky about the quality of essential oils and you really do get…

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.
