Friday's Letters

9:07 AM
I honestly got my days all jumbled this week. I thought yesterday was Wednesday (which is why I didn't do a #TBT), and thought today I'd be sharing an old picture with you. Well, Friday is much better than Thursday for those of you who work, so TGIF! Dear June, It's amazing to me that you are nearly at an end. With all...

Called to Rest

1:56 PM
I am a do-er. If you know what I mean, I imagine we are one in the same. I am constantly on the go. I love to have things to do, places to be, people to see, etc. Although it takes me some time, once I am comfortable with people/a place/ a situation I am, what you call, a social butterfly. I love...

Dinner

Butternut Squash Stir-Fry

6:00 AM
Butternut Squash is one of my fall favorites. But let’s face it, who wants to always wait around for the season to enjoy it? Not this girl! I was so excited when I found it still available at my local grocery store. When it comes to serving meatless meals, my ideas are usually vetoed by the hubs. It comes as such a relief...

[Vegan] Banana Coconut Muffins

6:00 AM
I just had to bake something. I couldn't stay away that long. So it had to be relatively healthy. I adapted this recipe from The Shrinking Kitchen. Which, if you've never visited their site, you need to. It's pretty much amazing. Ingredients: - 4 VERY ripe bananas, mashed - 1/2 C wheat germ - 1/2 C all-purpose unbleached flour - 1 C whole...

Friday's Letters

9:25 AM
This week has been rather tiring. I have been trying for some time to get Michael to sleep in his own bed, and I'm beginning to wonder if I should just give up until he's older. I know it's going to be difficult whenever we do it, but it just doesn't seem worth it right now. He's such a cuddler and still a...

Wife/Mom of the Month: Brittany

6:00 AM
Last month we had sweet Sarah from What I Vegan sharing her thoughts on clean eating. This month Brittany from The Lily Field has agreed to be our Mom of the Month! Remember when we did that Target giveaway celebrating her blog's one year anniversary? I absolutely love Brittany's space. She shares truth-filled stories about her life, her spirituality, recipes, and so much...

#TBT: Charleston

7:34 AM
Last week I was MIA in the blogosphere. Why? Because we took a spontaneous trip to Charleston, SC. It's the closest beach to us. We were supposed to go in July. I was so excited because we were going to have a "real" vacation. But, as always, the real world trickled its way into my fairy-tale planning and I kept realizing that we...

Bread

Vegan Brownies

7:54 AM
The recipe is a day late, but it's worth the wait! I have such a hard time making brownies. Homemade ones never turn out "fudgey" enough for me, if you know what I mean. They're always too thick and too cake-like. How is it that these vegan brownies turned out so perfect? Not sure. But they are. And super easy. Oh! Did I...

The White Squirrel Festival

6:00 AM
Memorial Day Weekend is a special time for Brevard, NC. It's when the White Squirrel Festival goes down. For those of you who don't know anything about this, check out this link. This year (if you don't recall last year, follow the link for pictures) it was especially exciting because my dear friends, Becca and Jonathan, got to come for Saturday. Michael absolutely...
