Nursery Update #3 — The grand finale

Okay, the moment I’ve been waiting for (& maybe you have too) — our nursery reveal. I have been sharing bits & pieces over on my IG stories (if you don’t follow me over there, what are you even doing?!), but it finally came together this week & I couldn’t be more thrilled. Also, itContinue reading “Nursery Update #3 — The grand finale ”

Freezer Meal Plan (Round 1)

You’ve seen it. I’ve seen it. All these amazing women who freezer cook for their families. I’m barely someone who likes to cook dinner in general, so this really never seemed to be for me. BUT then I saw all of these mama’s doing it before giving birth and that hit me different. I obviouslyContinue reading “Freezer Meal Plan (Round 1)”

Lazy Girl Chili

If you’ve been around here, you know that your girl is not a chef. I really love to make healthy meals, but we basically live by the 80/20 rule. We meal prep our breakfasts, lunches & snacks and usually our dinners consist of a meat & veggie. But there are some times when we justContinue reading “Lazy Girl Chili”

Easy Peasy Baked Ziti

You’ll see that I share recipes on here from time to time & I will just start with saying that I am not overly creative in the kitchen. Most of the things I make are my tried and true recipes that my family has been making forever or slight modifications I make to meals thatContinue reading “Easy Peasy Baked Ziti”

Let’s Chat Greenwashing

When I first started switching to low tox products, I didn’t do a ton of research. I just walked into Target and chose the products that looked the most “green” — ones that used words like organic or natural or green or clean. I blindly trusted brands to advertise for their products without paying muchContinue reading “Let’s Chat Greenwashing”

Candles vs Diffusers

So why did I originally start using Young Living essential oils? Because I couldn’t use a candle in the classroom. I know the reason we can’t burn candles is because it is a fire hazard, but after doing my research, I’ve learned that it is actually a health hazard too! Here are some of theContinue reading “Candles vs Diffusers”

Hey mama

I’ve been chatting with a few friends lately (some pregnant and some not) about pregnancy, its toll on our body & body image, as well as how it is so much better different than anything I ever thought I would get to experience. BUT it hasn’t been easy every day. There are days I beatContinue reading “Hey mama”

Amazon Neutrals for Baby Boys

If you’re new around here, I’m pregnant with our first baby boy. He is coming in hot the first week of December and we could not be more excited. When I started registering for baby clothes, I realized that a lot of them were splashed with graphics or bright colors which is just not ourContinue reading “Amazon Neutrals for Baby Boys”

Glucose Test Breakdown

So I had the idea to write this post before my glucose test because I didn’t really know anything about it and I truly did try to do some research. I asked questions and everyone kind of had different answers about their experience. What I have learned through sharing my experience is that this isContinue reading “Glucose Test Breakdown”

Nursery Update #2

Today we’re chatting all about the closet & closet organization. I am not by any means under the impression that I will be able to keep this perfectly organized when baby comes, but I wanted to be able to find all the things as we needed as the time goes on. There are things thatContinue reading “Nursery Update #2”
