This smoothie is like that, but it catches you off guard and is so delicious. A few great things about this smoothie - it's dairy free, grain and gluten […]

My Workout Leggings, Ranked from Favorite to least!

I came to the stark realization the other day that I own more workout leggings than any other pants in my closet. I've been collecting them, almost without purge for yeeeaaarsss. And with that realization, came the other very clear epiphany that I wear the same ones over and over--bypassing sometimes entire brands, for my tried […]

Winter Salad and Sweet Potato Dressing

Casual Friday: My Skincare Essentials

Mid 2019, my skin tanked. It broke out everywhere--the photo below was when it was just ramping up. It was related to my thyroid medicine that I had to be one for 6 months before I insisted THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY! It was physically and mentally painful and I have spent the last year […]

You know that friend with the dietary restrictions? Well guess what. They actually love treats! Of course they do - don't you? Food restrictions can be rough, especially during the holidays when you can't have all the things that maybe you used to.

I still haven't sent our Christmas cards out--partly, okay mostly, because they haven't arrived yet--and half of our house is currently covered in plastic because the painters showed up YESTERDAY to paint the entry and Faye's room and the hallway and Polly's room and our ceilings, finally.

Three Delicious Crab Dips (gluten, grain, and dairy free!)

Crab dip isn't inherently "holiday," but it's always just been that way for me growing up. I don't ever remember having it any other time of year, even though I love it so much. Now that our diets have shifted, I love taking old favorites and making versions our entire family can enjoy. And boy, […]
