After writing this post: KonMari Meets The Capsule Wardrobe, I’ve been working to apply KonMari to any area of my life possible! It’s been a fun experiment with varied results. Obviously, being a gal who loves her makeup & skincare products I have to be honest, pairing down my makeup bag would probably be one of…
#ourwild – Cheney State Park
To celebrate Earth Day this year, a group of my blogger friends & I decided it would be super fun to highlight our local State/National Parks around the country! A fierce group of food enthusiasts braving the wild, snacks in hand – who sounds more fun than us? Since moving to Kansas, we’d briefly visited the…
Instant Pot Oatmeal
A few weeks ago my life was changed when I finally got myself an Instant Pot. I know that probably sounds dramatic but I’m not even kidding. My life has been changed with this magical, time saving device & truth be told, I don’t even think I’m using it to it’s full potential. Since finally…

California Retreat Weekend Recap
I intended to write this post last week when I was fresh off my trip to Cambria, California, but wouldn’t you know it, I came home with a serious head cold & crazy jet lag. So instead of writing, I spent the last week recuperating. Apparently, I needed a full week to do that. I’m…
Slow Sundays + Gluten Free Baked French Toast
My husband was out of town on Sunday & after the kids & I had taken him to the airport early in the morning, they started begging me to take them to breakfast. If I’m totally honest, I *might* have been feeling a little off due to the date night the husband & I had…

Chocolate Cherry Granola
I’m excited to share this Chocolate Cherry Granola recipe with you because I realized a rising trend in my kids. They love granola. Which is fine. It’s a good snack, nice on top of yogurt or packed in their lunch box. But the other trend I noticed is that granola is expensive. If you have…
