Easy Nutribullet Pesto

Easy Nutribullet Pesto

Our best quarantine purchase was definitely our Nutribullet. We’ve used it daily since we got it for smoothies and making delicious, healthy ice pop creations this summer. We just got the basic one on Amazon (this one) and it’s super easy to use and clean. Our best quarantine project has been our vegetable garden… so how do the two go… Read More

Monthly Meal Plan: 30 Days of Whole 30 Meal Ideas & Recipes

By: Kristin A few months back, my husband and I decided we wanted to do a little “reset” in terms of what we were eating. We aren’t the unhealthiest eaters, but knew we could be doing better. I was determined to find a plan that wasn’t a “fad diet”; rather, one that I knew I could stick to and maybe… Read More

Dear Kids: Here Are Our Rules for Leaving Quarantine

Dear Kids: Here Are Our Rules for Leaving Quarantine

When this all began, I think we imagined when it ended, we’d run outside and hug our friends. That we’d hop on a plane and visit our favorite places and instantly all would be good. I think we imagined it like a storm ending, a rainbow appearing and sun shinning bright again.  Instead, we’ll be heading back out taking baby… Read More

Mother’s Day Idea: Have a Virtual Tea Party

Mother’s Day Idea: Have a Virtual Tea Party

One group of people that I think quarantine is very hard for is Grandmothers. If they live close by, it’s not easy for them to skip what were frequent visits or to start having visits from 6+ feet away in the driveway to way hello. For grandmothers that live farther away, it’s really hard to cancel flight plans to visit… Read More

Introducing Edward Louis: A Birth Story

We introduced our sweet little 5th baby into our family last month. Edward Louis arrived on March 9th. He’s spent his first 6 weeks home with just the 6 of his family members getting love and snuggles around the clock. Edward, who we call Teddy came home the day before we all “came home” indefinitely. Today I’m sharing how he… Read More
