Kitchens are the “heart of the home” and rightfully so. Pre-pandemic, I was already spending a ton of time in my kitchen. My husband works from home and we homeschool our kids so everyone is home – ALL THE TIME. There’s a ton of meals, snacks, and gathering that happens in our kitchen. Though we’ve […]
For over six months, I’ve been sharing my new nutrition journey, in which I’ve been trying to eat better. I’ve become very conscious about choosing food and snacks that are “better for me” and my overall wellness goals. It hasn’t been an easy! But I’m learning, making changes, and seeing results. One easy way, I […]
Wallpaper is making a big comeback and I really like the trend. You can refresh any room, space, or surface with a colorful flair.

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 […]
