I’m also a mama!
In January 2022, this sweet boy, Gideon Joel, made me a mom! He is such a joy & has expanded my heart in ways I didn’t know possible. Don’t be surprised if I share more motherhood-focused content around here. Since I have the blessing of staying home with him, life looks different than it used to, but I wouldn’t change a single thing!

I realized when I was grabbing all the ingredients I usually use for chili that we didn’t have any diced or canned tomatoes. I took it as an opportunity to use what we had to create something new! Thankfully it was extremely yummy!
I know we need another Chili recipe like we need another pair of leggings, but promise me you’ll give this one a chance! Enjoy!
I hope you’re doing well & staying healthy. I keep seeing a bunch of others giving gift suggestions & I wanted to do the same. Since Black Friday deals have started so early this year, it’s a great time to browse the sales and cross a few things off your list. I didn’t want to have an overwhelming amount of lists but highlight just a few categories. I also wanted to make sure most of the items were from small businesses, local shops, and/or sustainable brands.

For the Fourth of July this year, Ben and I decided to stay close to home and explore our city and a few surrounding small towns. We knew we wanted to 1. eat good food, 2. spend lots of time outside, and 3. focus on quality time with each other (our love language, y’all!). I think we built a solid itinerary for the 2 days and wanted to share it with all of you. Here we go!
I have been on a smoothie kick recently & threw this together the other day. One sip in & I went WOW! I know I hardly ever follow a recipe exactly, especially for a smoothie, so I won’t be offended if you use this as a loose guide! Enjoy!
Let me start by saying, pre-Beautycounter I had the most difficult time finding shades that worked with my fair complexion and products that didn’t irritate my sensitive skin.

Welcome to my spin on a broccoli salad side dish! It seems to be at every potluck so why not have a solid recipe in your back pocket?! I love taking classic dishes and putting a unique spin on them.
