There’s No Place Like Home For the Holidays
How on Earth is it almost the end of November? Y’all, this month has flown by faster than any other in 2017, in my opinion. I feel like we haven’t had the chance to soak up fall like we wanted and now it’s almost winter! It’s hard to contain my excitement because in a few days, I’ll be cooking my own Thanksgiving. I’ve never done this and this will be the first time that it’s just Derrek, myself and the kids and we are really looking forward to it. We always travel to several different Thanksgiving’s on that day and although we enjoy seeing family, we’re so worn out from…

My Costco Must Haves
One of the most requested blog topics, ya’ll ask for is “what’s on my Costco grocery list?” Long story short, I head to Costco once a month and stock up on things for the house. Every weekend, I make a trip to the local Walmart and have been pretty impressed by their selection. I have shared my Costco finds on my instastories several times but I’ve never had the patience to do the same while at Wal-Mart because it’s crazy town. That one glorious day a month that I head to Costco, it’s truly special yall! I don’t get EVERYTHING there but it does help me out in the snack…

Good Mornings Thanks to Breakfast and Coffee
Sleep isn’t something that I get a lot of these days so breakfast and coffee are my jam. I try to wake up before the kids but because Scarlet Reese is teething, it doesn’t happen as frequently right now. I search for all the little teasers of sleep and take full advantage even if it’s only ten or so minutes! This makes me really excited for breakfast and coffee. The kids and I have always been big breakfast eaters but now that it’s fall, it’s become even more of an obsession. If you haven’t checked out my healthy oatmeal casserole, you need to. The recipe is so delicious and really…

Healthy From the Inside Out
Your quality of life is directly impacted by the foods you eat and the beauty products you use. Everyday, we have the choice to fuel our bodies with what will enlighten us and cause us to feel better inside and out or consume that which will drag us down and keep us in a state of muddled clarity. For so many people in this busy society, it can feel stressful and cause anxiety to figure out the “best” things for our bodies. I opened an email this morning with the tagline “rescue for problematic skin” and it has me thinking about how often we are bombarded with products to fix…
