Why did I ever plant this mint in my herb garden??
Lesson learned here... Every year I pull all this mint out, then replant a smaller amount in one spot, and every year it takes over again.
This year, I've pulled it all! I made one large pot of mint and have several small pots for my kids to sell at a lemonade stand in a couple weeks.
This little bitty has been out of the soil for about 2 hours and is acting like she's dying 😂

I'm always open to new ideas and additional research but I've finally reached a point in my "crunchy" life where I really have no interest in arguing with people over why I do the things I do.
I've started to speak my truth and if others don't like it, I simply walk away. There are plenty who want to hear what I have to say and I'm here for those people to empower them to do their own research as well and change their lives for the better.
Speak your truth and live your beautiful life ❤️

Excuse our messy yard after winter! Clearly could use some spring cleaning here
This is one of the many reasons we homeschool! My kids get their work done in a couple hours (or less!) and then have the day to play, go on field trips, spend time with grandparents, work on hobbies, learn to cook and bake and so much more!
Do you homeschool? If so, what's one reason you chose to keep your kids at home?

Let's call this self care ❤️

Favorite part of my week! Being able to sing without anyone yelling at me to stop 😂
Ready for your break to read a book, listen to a podcast or sing along to your favorite songs? Book a sauna session or grab a gift certificate for your spouse or a friend!

I've said it before and I'll continue to say it to anyone who will listen.. SELF CARE IS NOT SELFISH!!

If you're looking to add more veggies to your diet, mixing several veggies together can be much more exciting than just a side of steamed broccoli (because Im at the age where veggies make me happy 😁)!
A simple sauce from homemade tomatoes was cooked in my Instant Pot, blending together with my immersion blender and then added to my favorite cast iron pot with sauteed onions and garlic, spices, shredded carrots, salt and pepper. After simmering down for about an hour, peppers, zucchini and mushrooms were added in and simmered down again for about an hour before adding some diced chicken.
Absolutely delicious as is, or serve over pasta, rice or with a side of crusty homemade bread.

With fall fast approaching, I'm already hearing people starting to talk about their seasonal depression. While a part of that can be due to diet or nutritional deficiencies, a huge part of that is also mindset.
Rainy, cold or snowy days don't have to mean we need to spend them feeling sad and depressed. Finding activities you love to do, still getting outside, spending time with family and friends and working on changing how you think about the seasons can make a huge difference in not only your mental health, but your physical health as well!
Scheduling now for fall consults starting in September and information coming soon about my fall detox event!

I love baby led weaning! This is the 4th kid and our 3rd time completely feeding baby what we eat. The outcome has been 4 kids who love food and aren't afraid to try new things!
What's your favorite way to feed baby?

Memorial Day is so much more than a parade and a BBQ.
Thank you to all those who serve and protect our country and a special prayer today for families who have lost loved ones.

To make pineapple skin tea, cut the skins and core from a pineapple (preferably organic) and add skins to a pot. Add in fresh ginger, tumeric and cinnamon sticks, or the ground versions will work too! Cover with water and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes then strain through a fine mesh strainer. You can add honey, maple syrup or agave if desired. This can be drank hot or cold for coughs, colds, allergies, to help reduce inflammation and to boost immunity!
Comment below if you think you would try this!
