HOW TO: Non-Toxicify Your Home
Every day brings a blank page to make a change. Whatever you want to do, YOU CAN DO… you just can’t do it all at once. Right now, we have the perfect opportunity to refocus on parts of our life we want to change and do it in small sections so it’s not overwhelming. When I have conversations with people about transitioning to a healthier lifestyle, I immediately see the wave of being overwhelmed come over them. I quickly make sure that they know, this is about progress NOT perfection. Rome wasn’t built in a day. This will take time and to make it more accessible you’ve got to break…

Nontoxic Men’s Personal Care Products
This post is sponsored by the Mailroom Barber. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information.

Y’all, it has changed my life in four short months and I know it could do the same for you. I’ll back up and explain more of my story with this. In December of 2019, I felt that I wanted to start exercising again. I was four months postpartum and wanting to get back into a routine BUT I didn’t want to go back to hardcore workouts because I was scared. I’ve had five babies and my core strength is at it’s…

Marriage Tips While You’re Stuck At Home
Since we are currently under a we-don’t-know-when-life-will-go-back-to-normal schedule, I thought I would do everyone a favor and share a little marriage advice that I have for being in super close quarters 24/7 with your spouse. Because Derrek and I have multiple children who are all small in age, I get asked so many questions about my marriage. It’s not perfect so let’s just go ahead and put that out there. We are happy and love each other and are very committed to working on things that we need to work on in order to grow together and not apart. For those of you that don’t know, Derrek and I have…
