Homemade DIY Apple Pie Sugar Scrub Cubes
I saw a meme on Facebook a few days ago that had Michigan’s “actual” seasons…from summer to “false” fall, then “last summer” then “real” fall. Y’all. It’s so true! Last week it was in the 60s here, and this week we’re topping out at 80 degrees. My sinuses and my skin aren’t having it. I’ve…

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…

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.…

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)…

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…

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…

Funny thing, chores. They’re necessary (if you want to avoid drowning in dirty dishes and clothes), but they’re not something that most of us get super excited about. I mean, I’d rather sit through a root canal than clean toilets. And yet…I end up cleaning toilets on a weekly basis. If you’re the same you’ll…
Read MoreHomemade Recipes Using Lavender For Your Body
Funny story. When I first started using lavender essential oil, I thought it smelled like feet. Like smelly, just home from the gym, feet. Which, in retrospect, is totally not what it smells like. And a bit silly. I think I was just so opposed to anything with flowers and that meant I avoided recipes…

-This post is sponsored by iWi but the Tips for Creating a Healthy Daily Routine and opinions expressed here are my own. Y’all. A few weeks ago (which, I’ll be honest, in my timeline was this morning), I started a new morning routine. And the first thing I did was set my alarm to…
Read MoreDIY Homemade Lip Care Recipes
Over the winter I kind of sort of dealt with it, making my own lip balms to help…but what I didn’t realize was that I actually needed to exfoliate my lips. Now, don’t judge me. I know that I’m in my late-ish 30’s and I should know this stuff. That’s why I needed homemade lip…
