Q and A for the growing belly
Y’all, this pregnancy is just trucking along. I cannot believe that I am 23 weeks with my fifth child. It makes me so happy and emotional that we will be bringing another sweet little Scott baby into our family in October. This is my last pregnancy so I am soaking in all the things and trying to make time slow down because I know I will miss it once it passes.

I don’t know if y’all know this or not but I suffer from an autoimmune disease called Psoriasis. I’ve had this for as far back as I can remember but it wasn’t until recently that I knew what I was dealing with.

What to Steer Clear From at the Grocery Store
Hey ya’ll! I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far! I know that the weather in South Carolina went from Spring to scorching hot Summer VERY quickly but we are enjoying it by spending a lot of time at the beach and the pool. With the end of school getting closer and closer, I am hyper focused on groceries. I don’t know about you and your family but when the kids are home more, they just want to snack 24/7. It’s helped me find new hiding places in my house to ratio snacks (#momlife) and get back to a cleaner and more healthy grocery store haul.Your food is your…

Grove: A Simple Way to Switch to Safer
Good morning and happy Monday ya’ll! I am really digging all the switching to safer that ya’ll are pushing forward with during Spring. I know that most of us use Spring as an excuse to clean out our closets, declutter, organize, deep clean and change out things that we want to change. One of the things that I’ve loved helping ya’ll do is switch out your home, beauty and personal care products. I know this can be an overwhelming place to start and I really do commend you for making this a BIG step in changing to a non toxic lifestyle. Finding ways to make this transition easier really does…
