Goodness, you guys….life! Life is getting in the way! I have found myself having trouble getting 3 blog posts up a week due to our upcoming move. I mean, it’s still a month away, but there is so much going on. Like 4 kids- they never stop ya know? And we are currently renting, but…
No-Bake Apricot Coconut Energy Balls {Gluten Free, Vegan}
Hi friends. Goodness, what a crazy past week. It all started Wednesday in the middle of the night when my 3 year old woke me up with a case of the stomach bug. By Friday he was doing great and my husband and I settled in to watch our Homeland marathon Friday night (we’re currently…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls {Gluten Free}
This year was a first for me, I asked the hubby not to get me my annual box of Valentine’s chocolates! I know. Crazy. I just told him I’d rather have a Stitch Fix gift card than flowers or candy so he was happy to oblige. However, the wonderful women from Recipe Redux made me make…

Green Ways to Pack A Lunch
Hi friends! Today I want to talk about environmentally friendly ways to pack a lunch. I always keep foil, saran wrap and plastic baggies on hand, but we rarely use them for our lunches because there are so many great reusable options.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Energy Balls {Vegan, Gluten Free}
