Welcome to the Friday 5! Every Friday I will highlight 5 things I am currently loving. This can be anything from habits that are currently serving me, clothes, apps, people I am currently loving, podcasts, food, mom hacks and everything in between! What I am currently loving: Cauli Berry Smoothie by Bare Nutrition Health This is my go-to breakfast every day. Part of the reason I do this every day is to eliminate one decision for the day. It also helps to simplify my grocery shopping each week as I know exactly what I need. I’ve started doubling the recipe each day, so Matt and I each have one for…

Welcome to the Friday 5! Every Friday I will highlight 5 things I am currently loving. This can be anything from habits that are currently serving me, clothes, apps, people I am currently loving, podcasts, food, mom hacks and everything in between! What I am currently loving: My Golden Goose Sneakers I really struggled with this one for a while. I’d see people around town wearing these sneakers and I love the look of them, but I just couldn’t see spending that much on a pair of sneakers. But then Anna Mae Groves, if you are not following her you should be, talked about how much she loved hers and…

Welcome to the Friday 5! Every Friday I will highlight 5 things I am currently loving. This can be anything from habits that are currently serving me, clothes, apps, people I am currently loving, podcasts, food, mom hacks and everything in between! What I am currently loving: Kids Plates and Bowls from Ikea We do not have an Ikea locally, but when I saw these plates at my sister-in-law’s house, I knew I had to have them. Before getting these plates, we had a mismatch of all different kinds of kids plates. All with different shapes, sizes, compartments, some with suction cups on the bottom, etc. You name it, we…

This can be anything from habits that are currently serving me, clothes, apps, people I am currently loving, podcasts, food, mom hacks and everything in between! What I am currently loving: “Okay to Wake” Clock This was something I had always heard moms in some of the groups I’m in on Facebook talk about. It is a clock with a light around it and you can set the light on the clock to turn green when it is okay for the kids to get up. This is the exact one I have. I never…

Preparing Yourself for Back to School
Well, ready or not it’s time for Back to School. This year, back to school may look very different for everyone, but it still signals the beginning of a “new year” in most households. There are thousands of articles and posts on the internet of things to do to prepare for back to school, traditions to start, cute lunch boxes to prepare, homework centers to create and healthy after school snacks to serve. But what I didn’t find was how to prepare yourself, you, the mom. How do you prepare for the ever violent shift from slow summer mornings to the panic of getting out the door first thing in…

Chipotle Cheddar Corn & Shrimp Chowder
We had a crazy rainy weekend last weekend and my friend Tiffany from We Five Kings posted that she was planning to make this yummy soup and I thought it looked delicious! The recipe is originally from Half Baked Harvest and I adapted it slightly. If you are not following her on Instagram, do it now, I get so much inspiration from her posts. Making this soup really made me think about my cooking journey, I did not grow up cooking in the kitchen with my mom. I am an only child and it was just me and her for most of my childhood, so we just didn’t cook a…
