  • FRIDAY FEATURE: Interview with Julie of @bauersgovegan

    Happy Friday, everyone!! Today we’re talking with the lovely, humorous mama and friend, Julie of @bauersgovegan. We connected on Instagram during the early stages of our journey with Willow’s speech. Her kindness, compassion and positive attitude was extremely comforting. As the months went by, a friendship blossomed and I grew to really admire her as a mother and person…

  • REVIEW: January Favorites

    Hello! Well, January flew by and I’m sad to say that I don’t have very many new favorites to share with you. Our January was consumed by loving up on our newest family member and working on a few projects! For those of you who do not follow me on Instagram, we adopted this beautiful senior dog,…

  • FRIDAY FEATURE: Interview with Laura from The Whole Ingredient

    Happy Friday, everyone!!! Before we dive into this wonderful interview, I feel the need to explain (again) why I’m running these features. I have met some amazing human beings who are spreading awareness and opening the eyes to those unsure about the vegan lifestyle. I’d say close to 90% of the people I’m featuring had once…

  • FRIDAY FEATURE: Interview with Angela of Canned Time

    Happy Friday, everyone! Today we’re talking with Angela from Canned Time. I had admired Angela’s blog from afar and followed her Pinterest boards for quite some time, but it wasn’t until we were featured together in a post published by The Vegan 8 that I actually connected with her. She’s kindhearted, genuine and full of compassion – characteristics that…

  • FRIDAY FEATURE: Interview with Jen of @JenGoesGreen

    Happy Friday, everyone!! Today’s interview is with someone I’ve only known since the beginning of October, but has grown to be a dear friend. I met Jen through Lauren (from last week’s interview) when they ran the Fall In Love With Life challenge on Instagram this past October. Not only was the challenge a healing…

  • REVIEW: December Favorites

    I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year! Can’t believe it’s 2015! December was a whirlwind of chaos with sleep deprivation, family gatherings and celebrating – it’s a month I love, but can also be stressful. Now that the holidays are over, we’re in this weird lull – like, what’s next?! I’m…

  • TIPS: Keeping a Budget & Menu Planning

    I have been meaning to sit down and write this post for months, but life has been somewhat chaotic lately with the holidays and a sleep deprived toddler. I’ve received some questions via Instagram regarding meal planning and budgeting, so I hope this helps some of you! For almost three years now, Josh and I have been menu…

  • REVIEW: November Favorites

    I can’t believe it’s DECEMBER?!?! Last month flew by, but I did manage to find some new favorites to share with you. Before I get into that, I have to say how grateful I am for my family. If you follow me on Instagram, you know all about the amazing Thanksgiving we had, but for…

  • REVIEW: October Favorites

    Hope everyone had a great October! Ours was full of adventure and fun – my absolute favorite season. I fully intended on getting this blog post up a few days ago, but I battled vertigo all last week, so when Willow went to bed, I wasn’t far behind her. Luckily, things improved over the weekend and…

  • YOU are Beautiful

    I am 5’4″ and 120lbs. I’ve been called fat, big-boned and thick…and during my unhealthy, sick years, I was called all the opposite – a walking skeleton, a rail, skin and bones. Why am I telling you this? All of those words did damage to my body image. Our society’s concept, or definition of what’s…
