I started doing some major purging in our home over a year ago, and every time I'd come to a stop and think, "This is pretty great! I'm nearly done!" I'd find more to get rid of very soon after that. What I've discovered is this whole "minimalism" thing is an ongoing process. It's a …

Banana No-Nut Bread

Since it's finally cooled off outside, I've gotten into a baking mood. Today I was catching up on some house work and noticed that I had some overly ripened bananas on the table that hadn't been eaten. They were way past eating them alone, so I knew I either had to throw them out or …

Current Fall Favorites

I know it's technically been Fall for a few weeks already, but here in the South it's just been a long Summer with a few iced pumpkin spice lattes thrown in here and there. 😂 But since next week it is FINALLY supposed to be cooling down for good (by a lot!), and this morning …

This Little Light of Mine

Earlier this Summer my husband and I went to Cathedral Caverns. It's a huge cave underneath a mountain in North Alabama and the tours are completely walkable (actually, even drivable-- one pregnant woman in our group that day got to ride a golf cart the whole way). I'm no caver. I've always been pretty claustrophobic, …

Butterfingers Cupcakes

I've shared the sheet cake version of this before, and it's the cake I've now made for my husband the past four birthdays. This year, however, I wanted to try a little different take on it. I decided to do cupcakes in hopes of a little portion control. (Or was that just wishful thinking?) Last …

Seeking Fulfillment in God During the Single Years

I'm excited to share with you the very first guest post here on my blog, written by a friend of mine, Halle Nelson. Y'all go check out her blog, As God's Own, HERE and be sure to give her a follow! The single years. A dreaded, negative term, that so many wish they could avoid. …

Garden Update #9

It's been a while since my last Garden Update. Since then we've gotten a lot of green beans and cucumbers, but they have finally slowed down to a stop. We sure enjoyed having them fresh and I made a batch of pickles with the cucumbers we had. I think I wound up with six or …

Books I Read This Year (January-June 2018)

Last year I had a goal to reach. I wanted to read 3 books each month. Like I mentioned in a post earlier this year about the books I wound up reading, that's a lofty goal. I started out pretty well, but then got busy with our garden and failed miserably at reading like I'd …

10 Must-Haves for Extended Breastfeeding

I breastfed my daughter until she was 22.5 months old, when she weaned herself the week of Christmas. Like I've said before, baby-led weaning was simply what worked for the two of us, and is by no means "the" way everyone should do it, and may not even be how it works for my next …
