Thank goodness for this Instant Pot beef stew recipe! After starting a Keto diet, I was missing my favorite comfort foods. Typically, beef stew consists of lots of carbs, which isn’t something you want to indulge in when trying to maintain ketosis. Thankfully, this beef stew allows me to indulge without feeling any guilt! A traditional beef stew, with fall-apart tender beef, vegetables, and rich broth, is almost impossible to pull off on a weeknight. It can take two to three…
Ever since announcing I was now a Beautycounter consultant over on Instagram, I have received so many messages from women asking a variety of questions. What is Beautycounter? Why am I am consultant? What about my blog? Am I going to start posting ALL kind of salesy things now? How much did it cost? You get the picture! So….I figured this was an easy way to answer all those questions and provide anyone looking with enough info you need…
Staying healthy with kids during the winter is hard for anyone. If you are a mom of little ones, it can seem impossible. If you are a mom of lots of little people, it can seem…daunting, to say the least. Thankfully, my family has been pretty healthy over the years. We only caught the flu once a few years ago, and it was the B strain, which is the milder of the two. We do get colds and some respiratory…
Bible Journaling has been a passion of mine for some time now. I was looking for a way to reignite my Bible Study and kept coming across these beautiful photos on Instagram. At first, I just looked at the photos, loving them and feeling inspired, but thinking I wasn’t creative enough to do any journaling myself. Little did I know what a journey God would take me on! This post contains affiliate links. Bible Journaling has transformed my study of…
Packing the kids into a car and heading out on a family road trip isn’t everyone’s idea of fun. If not implemented correctly, you can be setting yourself up for hours of whining, fighting, and “are we there yet?” questions. But family road trips don’t have to be chaotic and stressful. With a little bit of planning, you can enjoy the trip as much as the destination. In fact, my family often loads all eight kids into our little bus…

KETO…it’s a thing, isn’t it? Everyone is talking about Keto, and you may be wondering why? What is the deal with the Ketogenic diet and how does it work? First, you should know that I don’t consider the Ketogenic diet an actual diet… I don’t diet. Diets are temporary and often don’t teach what really needs to be taught. This is a lifestyle. It is the way our ancestors ate and a way we should go back to. A…
Life is busy, right mama? We have little people to take care of, husbands to love on, businesses to run, and don’t forget a little self care! I know from experience that feeding our little ones healthy snacks can be stressful at times. We tend to think about dinner, and occasionally lunch and breakfast, but snacks can go by the wayside. Toddlers love to snack…they graze all day long! That grazing is actually healthier for them in the long run,…
As someone who finds Christmas as the only redeemable aspect of the awful season of winter, I am honestly anticipating the most wonderful time of the year with a little bit of backseat dread in my heart. For the past 5 months, my family has been living out of boxes in our home. Back in April, we had a soot puffback in our house from our oil burner. As a result, we had to pack up and empty out…
