Family Friendly Meal – Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls
I am so excited to bring it back! RECIPES that is! Ya’ll, I haven’t been my usual self – cooking 3 plus meals a day because post partum isn’t that time for me. I’ve been really dependent on my friends and family bringing our meals and also local restaurants for the other times. After a few weeks, I am getting back into a cooking groove and it makes me so happy. I have a few meals that we do eat on repeat but I am really focused on revving up our weekly menu. One of the things I love are stuffed cabbage rolls but they are a pain in the…

Ella Mercy’s Birth Story
The weeks are flying by and I can’t believe it! As I look through these maternity pictures, I feel like this photo session was just the other day. Amber Coker did the most amazing job at capturing what I wanted for this session and I cannot wait for our next one. She is going to come and take pictures of us as a family now that Mercy has joined us Earth side. We just have A LOT going on right now (and I will fill yall in soon, when I can discuss it publicly) so Amber is being patient with me until we can get together. I know that I’ve…

Mommy and Me Makeup For the Win
This post is in partner with Just Like Mommy Cosmetics. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please visit my disclaimer page for more information. My kids have always been curious about my make-up and have gotten into it more times than I can count. For this reason, I’ve had to start keeping it in zipped bags in the top of my closet so no “mishaps” go down. There’s nothing worse than buying a brand new palette or lipstick and seeing it ruined at the hands of a toddler who just wanted to be like mama. To make matters worse, it crushes their spirits when you get upset and fuss…

My Chicken and “Rice” Recipe and Non Toxic Cookware Guide
One thing I’ve learned after starting my family is that finding good recipes that don’t take several hours to make is really important. It’s so easy to say, “well, nothing is cooked, so let’s just head out to eat.” How often have you heard those words come out of your mouth? Fast food or eating out is such a waste of money and will pack on the pounds at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, getting “vacation meals” every now and then isn’t bad but don’t make it a habit. I am with the kids 24/7 and even though Derrek is more than hands on when he is home,…
