Y’all, I can’t get over these Pumpkin Spice Muffins! I was playing around on Instagram one day and saw Baton Rouge Family Fun post these and thought, there is no way this tastes good! So, I tried it out and I was WRONG…they are absolutely delicious! We all ate them up! These scream “Thanksgiving Breakfast”…
Leftover Candy Cookie Dough
My kids scored this Halloween…I’m talking candy on top of candy on top of candy. They were jazzed. But me? I was not jazzed because I now work from home without any accountability partnered with no self-discipline. I knew I would sit home all day grazing on their candy if I didn’t find a better…
DIY Lash Booster
My eyelashes have never been anything I’ve been particularly proud of…they have always been these short nubby little things. But, I’ve also never been too keen on doing anything about it. The traditional lash boosters I found were insanely expensive and I just couldn’t justify the cost. Well, over the summer during one of my…
Creamy Veggie Sauce
I recently made this recipe from Eat Something Vegan…and y’all it’s delicious so I had to share! It was super easy to make and only took around 30 minutes, which is great for a week night dish. Because I’m a rule follower, I didn’t tweak the recipe when I made it but I’ve added a…

Kitchen Spices Organization
I don’t thrive in the kitchen. I get super stressed out cooking and I’ve decided that this maybe…possibly…could be fixed if the kitchen was super organized. That makes sense, right? 😉 So today I tackled our spices! I purchased the “organizational stairs” several months ago and they definitely helped pack more into a small space…but…
2022 Marathon Training Plan
Earlier this year (March 2021 to be precise!), I ran my very first marathon. And it went…fine. Just fine. I didn’t get hurt or throw up or pass out. I only cried once (mile 20). I finished a great audio book. I wasn’t the very last person to cross the finish line (though I was…
DIY Bookcase Glow Up
We are in the process of updating the playroom for our kiddos and that meant we had an extra, super cheap bookcase that we could either toss or have some fun with…and I decided to have some fun! We started with this very basic, cheap, white bookcase from Wal-Mart. We purchased a couple of these…
DIY Spray for Healthy, Growing Hair
I have always had a love/hate relationship with my hair. I have been known to be super unkind to it and then SHOCKED it wouldn’t grow into gorgeous locks. (insert eye roll) Past hairstyles have included pixie short to sassy bob to homeless child. It’s also been every single color under the sun. And, I…
