  • REVIEW: October Favorites

    I just love the month of October and I think it’s safe to say that it’s my favorite and I’m a bit sad that it’s already over! Perfect weather, beautiful colors, all things pumpkin and cozy sweaters. Just the other day, Willow came up to me and said, “October is fun to say!” So there…

  • RECIPE: Baked Chocolate Earl Grey Mini Donuts

    Who’s ready for another donut recipe?! This may or may not be the last one I share for a while…we’ll see. I’ve been eating WAY TOO many sweets lately – one of the downfalls to running trials for dessert recipes. So, I’m thinking I’ll focus on savory after this 😉 If you follow me on…

  • RECIPE: Baked Coconut Pecan Mini Donuts with Cinnamon-Maple Sugar

    How many of you actually love your job? I’m talking passionate, happy, excited and motivated by the life you’ve chosen. Sadly, I don’t know too many people who would raise their hands. The last paying job (early 2010) I had just about broke me. I was at an all-time low – physically falling apart with numerous ailments,…

  • RECIPE: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

    It’s the season of all things PUMPKIN!!! My absolute favorite time of year. Crisp air, leaves changing, apples galore and cozy sweaters. And BAKING! After a few months of very limited oven use, we make the switch to roasted veggies, potatoes and LOTS of baked goods…such as cookies. I had this vision in my head…

  • REVIEW: September Favorites

    Hello, friends! I don’t know about you, but September flew by faster than any month so far. Hard to believe that the holidays are fast approaching. You’ll be happy to hear that this post isn’t nearly as long as my Summer Favorites round-up! We didn’t try very many new products and my list of books…

  • Unplug to Reconnect

    I have been unplugged from social media for over a week now. One full week. It was never my intention, but after two getaways with my family where I didn’t use my phone for anything other than texting, I came to a sad realization. We, as a society (myself included), spend far too much time…

  • Vegan Camping with a Toddler and Neurotic Dog

    ***If you have zero interest in reading about our actual adventure and only care to see what we packed (along with tips), please scroll to the end. Tuesday, September 8, 2015: Most parents would opt for backyard camping or close enough to home for their first outing with a three-year old (and a neurotic rescue…

  • REVIEW: Summer Favorites

    Hello! Now that Labor Day has come and gone and kids are officially back to school tomorrow around here, it’s fall in my book! I had every intention of keeping up with monthly favorites, but this summer just got away from me. I kept track of the products I enjoyed and books I loved, so…

  • RECIPE: Quinoa Apple Salad with Creamy Mustard Dressing

    If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember a post about Willow “cooking” me dinner in her little kitchen. She said she was making me a Quinoa Apple Salad. Where in the world did she come up with this?!?! I knew straight away that I had to create a “real” quinoa apple salad. I…

  • RECIPE: Toffee Granola

    I know. Another toffee themed recipe. BUT before you say anything, I had no plans to post another recipe using the toffee sauce, that was until the lovely @bondsbeach used it to make granola! As soon as I saw that, I had to hop into the kitchen and experiment for myself. It took a few…
