We spent the last weekend of June in Kansas. We weren't necessarily planning on a trip to Kansas but we had another loss in the family and needed to attend the funeral of my paternal grandmother. We knew it would be a part ofour year, it was just an uncertainty of when. We hopped on a plane late Wednesday night and had a four day weekend filled with a funeral and family. There's a sweetness of being back home in Kansas with my own family. Kansas, a place I was so ready to spread my … [Read more...]
T W O
My big brown eyed little boy turned two yesterday. The sweet boy we had a name picked for when we were dating. The one that God reminded us at delivery was a promise He made us years ago. He's already two. I'm not sure how two has come already but it's an odd thing where it seems he's been here forever and no time at all, all at once. He's brave and mischievous; sweet and gentle; laid back and bold. A beautiful blend of a little bit of everything. B can spot an airplane … [Read more...]
Tips for a “Greener” Laundry Routine
Over the last few years, we’ve made a lot of changes to make our home greener.

Quiet Valley Living Historic Farm
Over Memorial Day weekend we headed up to the Pocono mountains to check out the quiet Valley Living Historic Farm. It's about 45 minutes away from us and we have been getting out and exploring this new state of ours.

We started out by walking up the path to the farm from the parking lot and then … [Read more...]
Free Toxin-Free Laundry Set from Seventh Generation
I'm extremely cautious when it comes to dyes and fragrances. Synthetic dyes and fragrances are incredibly bad for you on a variety of levels including your hormones, development and reproductive systems, and more. Kicking them out of our home is a big deal for me. As most of you know, we use Young Living essential oils in place of toxic fragrances. We also use them for cleaning our home. However, today's post isn't about essential oils or Young Living. It is, however, about a great option … [Read more...]
