Regardless of weekend or weekday morning, I really try hard to start my family’s day with a nourishing breakfast. Most workday mornings I send my husband off with a power packed almond or coconut flour bread, muffin, or scone. I batch bake and freeze these once or twice a month, and pull out what I…
A chandelier would be the first thing people notice when they come into your home. If you’re investing in new furniture for the bedroom, you’ll want to enhance the look with a sleek floor lamp or a unique light fixture. The right floor lamp makes all the difference in a reading nook. You want to…
We are so blessed to live in such a great area for berry picking all summer! We just said good-bye to blueberry season and hello to raspberry season at Delange’s Red Berry Farm a couple weekends ago. The girls had so much fun – and I was able to gather much more with my awesome…
This summer our biggest nemesis to enjoying the great outdoors has been bugs. When I absolutely have to use bug repellents I try to stick with all-natural products, but if at all possible I like to avoid even those because of the potential odors or staining to our clothing.

Over the summer, we were blessed with a bottle of *real* olive oil. I mean, like straight from Greece 🙂 We have some dear friends that have a family farm there, where they press their own olives every year. It is the most delicious olive oil you will ever taste! I drizzle it over veggies…
I think I need to grow some watermelon next year…we’ve picked one up almost every week since they’ve been out this summer! There is no greater summertime refresher than watermelon! I made up this great smoothie one morning when it was too hot to cook, my freezer stock of pancakes was almost at it’s end,…

I wrote this a few weeks ago when I took advantage of making up this recipe for quick, cool lunches and dinners. It had been a long, hot week. Why I chose the heat wave of 2012 to potty train my oldest is beyond me – but it was our least busy week in a…
