Ingrid and Isabel Maternity – Fall Style
This post is in partner with Ingrid and Isabel. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please visit my disclaimer page for more information. (Note: I wrote this last week before the stomach bug entered our house) We are have way through the week and man, it feels like this week is extra long for some reason. I’ve been dealing with a health issue over the last few weeks and it’s really thrown me for a loop. Come to find out, I have a lack of the right amount of vitamin D right now which is causing a wide range of health issues – anxiety, brain fog, headaches, itchy skin,…

Immune Boosting With Essential Oils
With the starting of school and changing of the seasons, germs are sure to spread around more than normal. For this reason, we as a family focus on boosting our immune systems as much as possible with fresh organic foods, supplements and vitamins (read more about those here) and of course essential oils. I’ve used essential oils for almost 8 years now and it’s one of my favorite switches to safer. 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…

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.

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…

Espresso Rubbed Steaks
This post is in partner with Lidl. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. TGIF ya’ll! 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…
