Life is a funny thing. It seems to be this never-ending constant of being busy and it can be really difficult to stay positive and in a healthy mindset as you go through your day-to-day tasks. I started doing these quotes of the week for a specific reason. I wanted to take conscious time each week to reflect on my life and check in with myself.

I’ll be honest (as always). Life has been extra hard lately. It’s beyond the every day grind and I won’t get in to the details of all of it, but if you’re struggling, know you’re not alone.

Of course I’m a few days late, but that seems to be my style these days. I could go on and on and on about all the lovely things about 2024 – and there were a lot – but I want to do an honest update.

I thought I’d start something new around here. For a while I have been doing a somewhat weekly quote over on social media. I’ve really appreciated the exercise of searching out meaningful words to stop and think about.

This recipe is a big hit in my house. Kiddo doesn’t like the texture of most baked goods, so she doesn’t care for traditional banana bread. This baked loaf is packed with oats which gives it enough of a texture change for her to love it.

Cleaners and Allergies, Oh My!

I’ve got a different kind of recipe for you today, but it’s one I make every week! It’s for homemade all purpose cleaner.

Yes way 😉 And no, that wasn’t a typo up above. If you haven’t heard of No Whey Chocolate, stop what you’re doing and go check them out. They are hands down the best tasting vegan chocolate I’ve had.

I swear, this is one of the hardest to plan meals for most people. In my opinion, we often overcomplicate our midday meal.
