Oh how I love December! The scent of fresh balsam and cedar filling the house, crafts with kids that seemed like a good idea before the mess starts, baking cookies and having nothing to show for it the next day because it's Christmas and perfectly acceptable to eat an entire batch in 12 hours time, real Christmas trees that need to be swept under 30...

It's fall time now and things are as crazy as ever! Ava started 3K-Preschool at the end of September and she is loving it. Which I'm definitely not surprised because she is my little social buttery fly.. a trait she gets from her father.  As we head deeper into the fall season I thought I would share a few things that I'm loving this month so maybe someone...

It's Friday! I love Fridays and I am also loving so many new things right now that I just need to share them so maybe someone else can enjoy them also! 1.) Purify Essential Oils Cleansing Blend The first of my current favorite things is Essential Oils! A sweet momma friend of mine helped to push my reservations about trying oils out of the way and...

Happy September! Fall is upon us even though the weather hasn't quite got the message yet, hopefully it does soon because I'm ready for cool mornings, mulled cider, lazy Sundays spent lounging under cozy blankets, and pumpkin buttercream candles burning all day long.

Good morning! I am a self proclaimed foodie. I'm no 'five star chef' but I love to cook and experiment with new recipes. Sweet, savory, I love it all. Lately I've been having this reoccurring dream where I have this HUGE kitchen and I cook all day long and then at night 'tiny kitchen fairies' come along and clean up all of the mess...hey, a girl can dream...

Happy Monday! Who wishes it was still the weekend?! My hand is raised way up high as I sit here nursing my new favorite cup of coffee: a 'donut shop' kcup with a splash of half & half and a drizzle of caramel coffee syrup, I have officially said adios to store bought coffee creamers and it tastes so good! Reflecting on the weekend is how I make it...

Our little Ava loves to live life on the edge. She typically has one speed and that's 100 mph! In six months time we spent a night in the ER getting gravel removed and chin stitches caused by a fall after running in a parking lot and most recently we spent time with an orthopedic pediatric specialist for our first broken limb (broken humerus to be exact). Both...

Charlotte Faye Hess A year ago I went in for my 40 week appointment and non stress test. I met with one of my favorite midwives and within a few seconds of talking to her about how I was feeling she looked right at me and said "Tiffany, just don't seem your normal self so I think we should check you in at triage because  I honestly believe this...
