Baked Brie with Apricot Preserves and Pecans

Food

It’s been a while since I shared a recipe on here! This baked brie is a 5 ingredient recipe so it’s very simple and doesn’t require a whole lot of effort. Despite being the easiest possible appetizer, it always impresses and seems a lot fancier than it actually is. And who can say no to melted cheese!? Sunday nights were…

Home

A little over a month ago now, G and I FINALLY bought a rug, and we ended up going with the Ruggable. These rugs are very popular right now and there are constant ads for them, so I wanted to post an honest Ruggable review if you’re thinking about buying one yourself. We have a dog, lots of clay around…

Gifts for the 20-Something

Gift Guide

If we are being honest, I think a lot of millennials/college students/new grads/20-somethings would all say they just want cash if you ask them what they want as a gift. But sometimes money isn’t the most appropriate thing (maybe it’s a gift swap or a gift for a significant other or maybe you just hate giving cash). Or you just…

I think it opens up good talk about helping others in our community which is always a conversation worth having with our kids ❤️

I actually filmed this at the beginning of October and now I can say it has faded really nicely. This hair gloss gave my hair so much shine and toned it just a bit darker and cooler. I love the results! #hairgloss #athomebeauty #diyhair

Note: I did end up donating the formula elsewhere— I didn’t want to leave it outside because extreme temperatures can mess with the integrity of formula!

I took my toddler to the grocery store so we could pick out some shelf stable foods that are also good sources of protein. We made a couple of shelf stable birthday cake kits (everything included to make a cake!) and also donated a bunch of diapers that we no longer had use for! 
I really want to start doing this more often, because it caused my son to ask a lot of good questions and we were able to have a good talk about helping others ❤️
