DIY Natural Stain Remover Spray

February 9th, 2017

So in our quest to throw out toxins in our home, and replace them with natural and safe alternatives, one thing I’ve been holding out on is stain remover. “Blowouts” are still a weekly occurrence in Hudson’s life, and thus the need to treat his laundry with something that gets out bright yellow stains – …

Young Living’s Video Spotlight on Our Thieves Story

October 17th, 2016

I’m sure you are all ready for some present-day posts after recollecting Hudson’s Birth Story for the past many blog posts, and I’m ALMOST ready to go forward from here. Good things are ahead. Promise. However, I PROMISED when I was pregnant that I would reveal our Young Living Thieves video clip when it was …

A Two Year Journey…

February 26th, 2016

A lot has happened in two years time. The February before last was a very difficult month for me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I struggled and wrestled and hurt in ways I had never experienced. Last February was a stark contrast, as God showed Himself so faithful through grief and trial. He worked in my …

Wellness Isn’t Selfish

September 15th, 2015

3 Years Ago… I thought I was fairly healthy. I tried to make good meals for our family, exercise when I had a “free” week, and felt like I was doing better than most in taking care of my health. In reality I was staying up way too late, cleaning with and applying toxins to …

Well Hello, Gorgeous New Premium Starter Kit

5 Things I Love More Than Valentine’s Day

February 12th, 2015

Confession: I’m a softie for Valentine’s Day. It probably started with the red and pink dotted tights I wore when I was four. I’m a sucker for romance. However, it looks much different in this season of life than engagement/early marriage. Less dress up and go out and more double the recipe heart-shaped pancakes. 😉 …

Raising a Home Full of Boys Over a Frat House

January 28th, 2015

I wasn’t a regular at the Frat Houses during my days at Butler University, but the times I did step inside of them I was hit with the smell of urine and beer. Not the most luring or pleasing smell to a 20 something girl, and somehow I haven’t acquired an appreciation for either …

Snake Oils? A Dude’s Perspective on Essential Oils

November 26th, 2014

A year ago, I made fun of Jen’s “Snake Oils“. Today, I use them literally daily. When I am wrong, I am wrong. I’m man enough to admit it. I was honestly the biggest skeptic around when we started this stuff. Jen was trying it, and I was laughing at her. Honestly, I owe …
