Practical Ways to Improve Your Home, Life, & Budget
Yesterday, I was in need of some healthy-eating ideas. So I ended up searching for “healthy eating” on Pinterest, where all inspiration is found.

I’ve never had a hard time taking care of myself until about a month ago. My husband Austin has been sick with a mystery illness for quite a long time. It recently got a lot worse, right at the time when we bought a house after moving across the country. For a few weeks, he […]
*This post was sponsored by Let’s Be Well. All opinions are my own. Austin and I have taken many small steps over the past few years to improve our health. We’ve gradually started exercising more, cut out most added sugar, we watch our serving sizes, etc. It’s been a slow process, but I can now […]
There’s really nothing better than a personal recommendation for a new product. A company can say how great their products are all they want, but I want to know someone who has actually used it and loves it.
