My Health Goals for 2019 and Faster Way to Fat Loss

2012 was a game changer year. That was the summer I did a Bible study on Proverbs 31 and became utterly convicted on the food I was feeing my family. We changed our diet and began eating real food, organic when we could. I was a Whole Foods shopping mama…

Margaret’s Homebirth Story

Yay! Margaret is finally here (and, er, sorry for just now posting)! I’ve just been kissing her ole squishy cheeks nonstop since she arrived! After being pregnant the entire 2018 year, it feels so weird to NOT be pregnant. But she really is here and we feel very…

The Under $100 Kitchen Refresh

Moving the Dining Room into the Main Entry

I’m calling this blog series (which I’ve been pretty awful at actually writing) The Big Switcheroo. You can read the first part, the why, here. Basically, we decided to move around three of our main living areas: living room, dining room, and study so that our…

Our Date Night In Box Review

Have I mentioned how much I love my Date Night In monthly subscription box? We partner with Date Night In and I get the box for free, but I would pay for this service in a heartbeat. My husband and I look forward to our Date Night In and I…
