Over the past week, we've probably all been following the disastrous 'Hurricane Harvey' that's ravaged the south of Texas. It's hard to truly imagine what the people, our neighbors to the south are going through. With their homes destroyed, pets lost, farmland underground, livestock that's missing and entire metropolitan cities that are completely dismantled...

Often, I need to remind myself to slow down, tune into my surroundings, enjoy the simple things in life, declutter my mind and 'take care of myself'. A phrase we often use without giving it much thought but are we really, mothers, are we really taking care of ourselves?

She also has been talking non stop...

This summer I've been trying to make a more conscious effort to preserve foods for the winter months and I anxiously await a time when the girls can help out...

We received our Kindergarten information packet in the mail today. When I ripped open the packet, I felt as though angels were singing loudly in a chorus. It's just one more sign that school is just around the corner for us. Ava was so excited for me to read over everything it said and to hear the name of her teacher. We thankfully received our first request...

So naturally, I rounded up a bunch of watermelon products and tested out a few recipes to share with you! 1.) Ceramic...
