    A safer kitchen starts with shopping local!

    I spend A LOT of time in the kitchen y’all. Probably 20ish hours a day… jk but that’s what it feels like. I am sure that you can only imagine what all I am asked to make, open or get for my fam on a daily basis. My people are the people that LOVE good foods and snacking so there is no telling how much traffic goes in and out of the kitchen on the reg. Having a non toxic kitchen was a big goal of mine when I started switching to safer and it is something that I am still striving for. Since I transitioned to a non toxic lifestyle,…

    Health Journey – the “NO” list

    This really is a lifestyle change, not just a temporary diet. I have worked really hard to change my thinking when it comes to health, and that is the hardest part of remaining healthy. For the first part of the blog series, I have compiled a “no” list. These are things I suggest you cut out of your life so you can change for the better. It would be a great idea to print this out and keep it with you until it becomes a part of your daily thought process. 1.

Being able to share what I am going through and having other moms relate MEANS THE WORLD and I just can’t thank ya’ll enough. Sometimes mom life feels lonely and having other women speak to you and lift…

    Actually, I can!

    (my top and boots are from Vici Dolls and are sold out, but I’ve linked similar ones below!) If you’ve followed my blogging journey, then you’ve gotten more than your fair share of personal information about my life. If you are new to my blog, I’d like to share some information with you to give a little background about me. I used to live a really unhealthy lifestyle that I hated. When I realized I wanted to change my life for the better, I lost 60+ pounds and also became educated about non toxic living. I have not always cared about being non toxic and I’ve personally seen several family…

    A Day In the Life

    What does a day in my life look like? I am asked about this A LOT! A day in my life is crazy but a little structured. That sounds so silly hahahahaha! But it’s true! Monday-Friday you can normally find us home unless we make a random trip, I have a buisness meeting, a play date or go to our homeschool Co Op. The weekends we normally go do family activities or Derrek and I go on a date and that’s when I go grocery shopping. I am very much a homebody but I like to get out of the house 2 times a week for several hours. Everyday I…
