Fresh cranberries have a host of health benefits, and when combined with cinnamon and lemon, you have a cozy beverage that heals from the inside out! Friends, I’m going to level with you. After writing 2 whole posts like a good blogger is supposed to: 1,000+ words, hours of SEO research, and then ..read more

By now I’m sure that most of you have heard of Daily Harvest. Smoothies, bowls, bites, flatbreads, crumbles; the list goes on. But when it’s all said and done, is Daily Harvest worth the investment? Does it taste good? How does it work? Is it worth it? Let’s get to the bottom of some of these questions! The Backstory A few years ago I received an email message from Daily Harvest asking if ..read more

Rich, creamy, and perfectly flavored roasted red pepper dressing is the little black dress of condiments. This homemade salad dressing combines well-loved Mediterranean flavors with the perfect fruitiness of California olive oil to give you the best salad dressing you’ve ever had.  I’ve been very open on here about how much I hate making my own salads at home. There is just something about some ..read more

This Mixed Berry Breakfast Cobbler is a GREAT meal prep option for breakfast, snacks, or even dessert! Use whatever berries you have on hand, fresh or frozen, and enjoy at any temperature! I don’t know about you guys, but meal prep is something that has plagued me for a long time. What do I make? Will it be boring? Will I save money? What supplies do I use for food storage? While I can’t pretend to answer every question, I have found that by prepping some meals, and then leaving some flexible wiggle room for the rest, I’ve definitely made my life much easier. This mixed berry breakfast cobble ..read more

Gluten-Free Blender Pumpkin Breakfast Cake is really an any time cake, but is an especially epic way to start the day! Serve at any temperature and enjoy those crisp, cool mornings with this fall favorite! Let me tell you about how much of a difference 15 minutes has made in my day. No, I’m not talking about 15 minutes or meditation, or dry brushing, or prayer. I’m talking about the 15 minutes EARLIER that our school district decided to start school for the 2020-2021 school year. It’s only 15 minutes, right? How can it possibly make that big of a difference? Well, friend, I’m about to tell yo ..read more

The post Mom to Mom: What I Wish I’d Understood About Money When My Kids Were Younger is sponsored by the Arkansas 529 Education Savings Program. All words and opinions are my own. Finances.  The word alone used to feel so off-putting up until about 6 months ago, let alone actually taking action on the goals associated with them. I’m that girl who took accounting and finance classes in college (YAWN), but who just memorized the information enough to pass tests before quickly forgetting it. I always knew to save money and not spend beyond my means, and debt was a 4-letter word for us grow ..read more

Simple DIY Concrete Succulent Planter gives those adorable little succulents the perfect cozy space to thrive! “Heather, do you even eat food anymore? You keep posting all these DIY projects. There’s concern you don’t eat these days.” Contrary to the (completely made up) popular belief above, I DO actually still eat food. It just so happens that I love to try simple DIY projects these days too! It’s also rare that a project I try actually turns out this well, is this inexpensive, and fun. You better believe I’m all about sharing the goods with y’all! It all started with this Instagram video ..read more

DIY Dollar Store Boho Pumpkin Makeover is an inexpensive and easy craft to usher in the fall season! I’m not a DIY or decor maven, and typically not someone who frequents the dollar store. (You can find my DIY Fall Burlap Wreath here though!) However, I occasionally see things on Pinterest or Instagram and tuck it away into my mind as something worth doing. This project is just one of those things! Although I cannot recall exactly where I first saw it, there are a TON of step-by-step tutorials out there. Remember, I am not a DIY or crafting blogger should notify you to the fact that these “in ..read more

Simple Broiled Vegetable Salad gives all the goodness of grilled veggies without the grill! An oven and a sheet pan are all you need to get a healthy, delicious variation on grilled vegetables. Sad story: our grill broke 2 years ago. The end. What a way to start a blog post, right? The truth is that we have missed having an electric grill, but did not want to fork out the money for one. So we purchased an inexpensive charcoal grill instead. Now don’t get me wrong – I love charcoal grills. They impart incredible flavor, and are (I imagine) pretty fun. I say I imagine because I am not one who k ..read more

How We Do Personal Development for Kids shares an in-depth look at some of my favorite resources that have worked in creating stronger kids, inside and out. I don’t often talk about my children, and rarely (if ever) show their faces; however, they are very much the reasons why I do everything I do. Daily I ask God what I could possibly have done to have such amazing children! This year, though, has been one that has shown me just how much we all need to work on our personal development to gain the strength of discipline and character, emotional awareness, and develop compassion for ourselves ..read more
