Well you guys, it happened. I blinked, and summer was gone. I have no idea how it managed to get by me. A few day ago I was lathering my chillens in bug spray and sunblock, and tonight we sit in front of the fire in our hoodies and boots roasting marshmallows. Wait, what the…
Funbites finally released their new Minions cutter, and Lyla is thrilled! Despicable Me, or “Beedo” as she calls it, is her favorite movie series to date. What’s not to love about those guys?! As soon as our cutter arrived in the mail, she was ready to give it ago. She asks me several times a…
We are three weeks into our home preschool, and loving it! I have a little bit of catching up to do, but I will be sharing our weekly learning adventures here for you to follow along. I have lots of fun learning activities for you little ones. Our first week’s theme was “All About…
My daughter and I are currently on week number 3 of homeschool on the homestead! It has been quite an adventure, and we are loving every second. I do plan on sharing all of our learning activities here on the blog, I just haven’t gotten an extra second since we started. I have been going non-stop! Lyla is…

This zesty pesto is the perfect condiment for slathering on your sandwiches, garnishing your soup, or even stuffing and marinating chicken! I love the fresh greens and the zesty pickled peppers together in this fantastic spread.
I have never been one to dive head first into the annual pumpkin craze. Not that I don’t like pumpkin, I’ve just never become pumpkin obsessed. Fall rolls around, the temperature drops a few degrees, and everyone is slipping into their boots and leggings and heading to starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte. Don’t lie, you know…
I recently received a sweet gift from my new friends over at Prayer Packages. Coincidentally, it happened to arrive just on time as I was recovering from a Crohn’s flare up and a week-long hospital stay. Good old fashioned snail mail is not something I receive too often, and this beautiful package was quick to…
