I got a call from Smalls’ school yesterday. Apparently, there’s been a mono outbreak. Which is fabulous. Of course, since Smalls was just sick, and I just got him well…I worry about him being more susceptible to catching it. Yes, I use lots of heavy-duty germ-killing oils. But I’m also cautious, so although he no…

This post is sponsored by Sparkling ICE but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. I have a confession, friends. I dread the holidays. Or I used to. All the prep, the family coming to visit, the stress…it almost doesn’t seem worth it. So this year I decided to do things a bit…

We recently got a crockpot again. I know, I know. You all know I am a HUGE fan of my Instant Pot…but it was time, y’all. Living in the tundra (it’s 26 degrees today!), I have this need to make all the things. Like baked oatmeal, apple butter, chili…and (this week), pumpkin butter. I know…

I recently took a mom-cation to Orlando, and it was glorious. 3 days, no kids, and I got to attend an amazing conference before heading home. My time away made me realize how much you can really recharge on vacation. Escaping the everyday routine and getting to relax and destress is a great way to…

I am loving the cooler weather…but my skin is definitely not. I have been making all kinds of skin-loving concoctions in the past few weeks because it’s gotten really dry. And it’s getting worse.
