DIY Homemade Oatmeal Bath Bombs
So we discovered that The Baby is allergic to catnip. And it wasn’t the first thing we suspected. Socs (our 12-year-old cat) got some new toys a few weeks ago…and they had (shocker) catnip in them. Now, these toys are super cute-they’re little animals, and they look cuddly and soft. Because they are. Skip to…

It’s finally cooling down here in Michigan! I am seriously so excited. Fall means cider mills, pumpkin spice everything…and Halloween. And the cooler weather means that means that I’m craving fall foods…like stews and pot roasts. But those take time, which, I’ll be totally honest, I probably have enough time. It’s the patience that I’m…
Read MoreThe Truth About Ditching Sugar
Y’all. I almost didn’t share this with you. Let’s talk about the truth about ditching sugar.

Winter is coming. For real. The weather here in Michigan is all over the charts this week – 60 degrees one day and 95 the next. I thought when we moved here that I’d be done with the wild weather. Turns out moving to the midwest just means tornado warnings come with weird wind storms.…

And y’all. This smoothie is the bomb. It’s so good-perfectly sweet, and creamy, and it makes me think of ice cream…but it’s…
Read MoreHow Much Water is Too Much?

I freaking love shampoo bars, don’t you? I feel like I use less product than with liquid shampoo, but I also feel like it’s a really fun way to shampoo your hair. Especially if you have kids. My boys both LOVE shampoo bars, and they actually bathe more frequently (read: without me threatening early bedtime)…
Read MoreEasy Healthy Egg Salad Recipe
Does anyone else feel like they eat a LOT of eggs? Like…one to two dozen eggs…a week? We do. Between pickled eggs for snacks, Paleo bacon and egg veggie cups, hard boiled (and soft boiled) eggs for breakfast, our favorite healthy egg salad for lunches…we go through a lot of eggs. A.Lot. In fact, my…
Read MoreTips for Losing Weight
Let’s get real for a minute, friend. I originally started this blog as a way to track my weight loss journey because I wanted to be a mom, but I wanted to be a healthy mom (at least I tried, right?). I wanted to help share tips for losing weight on what I found that…
Read MoreDIY Homemade Bath Soap Jellies
Hey mamas, I have a question for you. Do your kids HATE bath time? My kids waffle on this issue. Some days they literally fight for the right to jump in the tub first, others…they’d rather smell like a barnyard than let water touch them. Anyone else? These DIY Homemade Bath Soap Jellies (skip to…
