Hi – My name is Crystal and I have endometriosis. Since the age of 20, I’ve known that I have a health condition, for which there is no cure, endometriosis. There is more research needed to help women suffering in silence. There are clinical trials, such as the Edelweiss study, which can help drive progress […]
During this time of year, it’s so much fun to bake with the kids. It’s truly a family affair and it just warms my heart to make these memories with my kids. My daughter, who is the oldest out of my kids, takes the lead with baking and that’s a huge help to me. My […]
Now that fall and winter is rolling in, my family and I are spending more time in the kitchen. My daughter is the “up and coming” chef and has an interest in baking. I’m just in the kitchen for mainly safety purposes. Her favorite thing to make is brownies. It’s been convenient to pickup up […]
Groceries are expensive and feeding a family can be difficult. Thankfully, in Louisiana, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), provides monthly benefits that help eligible low-income households buy the food they need for good health. According to nationwide stats, in 2019, Louisiana had roughly 500,000 SNAP/TANF households. That’s a lot of families that need additional […]
My wellness and fitness journey is continuing and I’m really excited about what’s ahead. If you remember, over the summer, I started working out. I went from working out none to working out almost every day. I loved the way my body felt after I finished working out. Hello endorphins! I would turn into the […]
It’s refreshing to walk into a clean, organized, and fresh smelling bathroom. The thing is, as a busy Mom, I don’t have a ton of time to clean on a daily basis. In order to achieve the goals I have for my bathrooms, I need systems in place to help me out. It’s definitely a […]
Since back to school looks a lot different this year, we all need more convenient and simple recipes. If you’re making a lot more meals at home, because of virtual school, you need healthy options that are easy to prepare. One of my favorite things to make in the kitchen is a charcuterie board. A […]
There are only a few days left in summer but that doesn’t mean grilling time is over. My husband and I enjoy grilling – ribs, sausage, pizzas, fish, you name it, we are happy to grill it. One thing my Dad (“Paw” to my kids) taught me is you can cook anything, any day, and […]
Being at home more means more dishes and a lot more messes. This Mom has to do it all in the kitchen but I’m feeling more efficient with my Scotch-Brite® Advanced Scrub Dots Non-Scratch Scrubbers and Ultra Palmolive® Antibacterial*. These two go together like peas and carrots. The combination of Palmolive® and Scotch-Brite® gives me the perfect solution to […]
Summer is my favorite season! This season is so beautiful in its own way. The flowers are blooming and the long days are the best. Summer won’t be around much longer so we are excited to get outdoors, grill, and enjoy the long days left. We pull out our chairs and all the essentials for […]
Our “home office” is technically a dining room and from time to time we have used it as such. Large crowd visiting? We move furniture to our bedroom and make this a space to entertain. We’ve done it many times, but on a day-to-day basis this room is an office. My husband has worked from […]
Back to school season is here and there is so much to do. The school year might look a little different this year but some things will remain the same. Meals and snacks are an important part of any school day and we all need brands we can trust for different meals. Sara Lee® is a trusted […]
