Mom life and work from home life doesn’t call for my attire to be very fancy, but I do love to get dressed in non-workout clothes most days of the week. It boosts my productivity and helps me feel more focused when I’m in my home office. My shoe of choice for most work days? Rothy’s! I have a bunch of their shoes in a variety of styles and can’t get enough. Since I have been wearing + loving them … Read More
DIY Daily Harvest Protein Energy Bites
You all know by now how much I love Daily Harvest, right? Well when I started to realize that Truett also loved Daily Harvest snacks + smoothies, it because clear to me that I needed to be able to make all these goodies at home, from scratch, because Daily Harvest is way too expensive to justify feeding to my whole family. One of our favorite Daily Harvest treats are their “bites” that are stored in the freezer and eaten cold. … Read More
Healthy Guacamole Salsa Chicken Enchiladas
Hello, friends! Checking in today with a healthier version of my favorite Green Chicken Chile Enchiladas. While I LOVE the original recipe, this is a much healthier “everyday” version that tastes just as good as the original but without the added indulgence.
Truett’s CHD Story (part 3)
Today marks a year from Truett’s heart surgery. I don’t really know where the last year went – both the longest and shortest time – but some days when I think back, I still feel like our time in Michigan was just yesterday.

To say our family has been in a dinner rut would be an understatement. Anyone else feel a little “blah” about meal time lately?

Just like you might take inventory of your body – what it’s craving, how it’s feeling, energy levels, etc. – and tweak what you’re eating, the same holds true for your skin, too! Over the years, as I’ve gotten a better handle on what works best for my skin and what … Read More
Favorite Baby Shoes for Beginning Walkers
A couple months ago I put out a call on Instagram asking for your favorite baby shoes for beginning walkers. While Truett isn’t *quite* walking yet, he is cruising along on all of the things and just starting to stand on his own, too. I don’t know why, but with Ainsley and Collins I never found any baby shoes I truly LOVED for those early and pre-walking stages. So! I set out on a quest this summer to find shoes … Read More
Daily Harvest Review + DIY Daily Harvest Mint Cacao Smoothie
I have had my eye on Daily Harvest and their yummy-looking smoothies + bowls + bites for a while. If you’re not familiar with Daily Harvest, you can read all about it here, but the basic premise is that it’s a high-quality food delivery service.
