Did you know that pineapple is nature’s cough medicine?
All opinions are from my own experience. This is not medical advice. Please consult with your doctor for more information. One winter, a few years ago, my children came down with winter colds. They had hacking coughs that lingered and wouldn’t resolve. I remember feeling like I had tried everything and felt very flustered that nothing had worked. I was up reading one night during this and came across the health benefits of fruits. Pineapple was on the list and it was like a light bulb when off when I read the about it helping helpful with coughs. Pineapples contain bromelain which is in an anti-inflammatory enzyme. This not only…

How I meal prep every week to help my week flow
I am not super organized at all.the.things but 10 years into being a mom, I have found things that benefit us and a lot of them are built habits. The saying “it takes 21 days to build a habit,” has reigned true consistently when I’ve decided to try new things and create new flows in our home. Some things just don’t work for us, but I only learned that through trial and error. A lot of structure in my life comes from organized systems. I love my planner, calendar views in all the places, everything being in its place, and meals ready to go, but that requires backend work. Weekends…

My house tends to thrive better on lose schedules and routines and I am hoping that by sharing more of a peak into our world that you are able to…

The best flowers and plants for fall containers
The temps are getting slightly cooler here in South Carolina and that’s given me all the fall feels to decorate the exterior of my house with fall flowers + get to work on my fall garden. I normally do this a bit sooner than most people because I have to shoot my content before to have it ready in time for fall and every year I have to let go of my summer feelings before I can get ready for fall and all the things. I love summer so much but once the temps start dipping it makes me excited for new things and one of those are pumpkins and…

Enjoying Fall Fragrances With Essential Oils + Diffuser Blends
I am so excited to share another switch to safer that I’ve made in my household and I hope will inspire you to make in yours. 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. Umm 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 this reason.…
