Back Porch Update
Well, I know this blog has been a LONG time coming! Shew, we have so many updates happening that I’ve wanted to wait until it’s all completed before I show y’all but I realize that many of you can relate to not being able to “do it all” at one time. This is going to be a continuous project but we are very excited about the progress we’ve made and we look forward to making changes along the way and not letting it overwhelm us mentally or financially. We decided to makeover the back porch and make it our little safe haven then focus on our backyard since that’s the…

Fave Five Stores For Online Shopping
Another week is here and wow ya’ll, I know I am thanking the good Lord for the kids starting summer camp. They were getting pretty bored and now that they are gone for a few hours a day, I feel like I can take some time back for me and our household. When they are with me, I like to be 100% devoted to them and it’s also hard to concentrate when they are all running around. Since I have a million balls in the air that I am juggling, I try to lighten my load in whatever areas I can. One of the things that has really helped make…

When I was pregnant with my first child, Nolan, I kept getting debilitating headaches. I knew nothing about essential oils but when I reached out to a few crunchy mamas, they told me to inhale Peppermint oil and it would help. Ummmmm, WOW! It was a game changer and one that I used a lot during my pregnancy with Frankincense oil for headaches. NOTHING worked for my headaches but these oils and I’m so thankful that I was introduced to them for…

Health Benefits Of Salt Lamps
I am a minimalist at heart so for something to be in my house, it has to have a place. One thing that is in every room of the house are Himalayan salt lamps. I started researching about how indoor air pollution effects us all and it really scared me. I consider my home my safe space which is why I was shocked to hear about the many ways that I put myself and my family at risk of indoor air pollution. After that, I became a woman on a mission that decided to take matters into my own hands and DO BETTER. I strongly urge you to first look…
