A big crowd favorite in our house is “egg roll in a bowl” – which is a low-carb version of egg rolls. It’s super easy to make, very filling, and hits the spot when you’re craving Asian food! It’s also one of our go-to dinners when we need a cheaper option since it’s very few…

SHOP MY OUTFIT #1 Pregnancy Pillow I got a big pregnancy pillow for Christmas which was very soon after we found out we were expecting. I didn’t use it for a while, just because I was still sleeping well and feeling pretty comfortable. Now that I am well into the second trimester, I cannot live…

Let’s be honest ladies…dressing cute while pregnant is not easy! Every time I am shopping, or even just standing in my closet deciding what to wear, I’m having to think hard about what will work with the baby bump.

Several months ago we started making some small changes toward “cleaner” living. We are slowly swapping out a few products here and there, where it makes sense for us. However, that does not mean that we’re going to miss out on one of our favorite things in the world: FALL SCENTED CANDLES! Today I’m sharing…

January is my least favorite month of them all. There, I said it. This time of year is weird. So let me give you some January encouragement, friend! During a month that is focused on new resolutions, fresh planners, and getting organized, I actually feel the least productive. When the holidays are over and the…

My mom does something I think is so smart: she keeps her Christmas decor more “winter” themed than actually “Christmas” themed. It makes it so much easier to transition into January and February because she can keep most of her decor up. She does lots of snowmen, which make sense to keep up during the…
