All natural guilty pleasures

Who doesn’t love the chocolate-y hazelnut flavor of Nutella? Let’s be honest it tastes pretty amazing…but two tablespoons of it has a whooping 21g of SUGAR (Nutella Nutrition Facts)! So it’s pretty much like eating cake icing from the bottle.  I’ve given it to my kids a handful of times as a “treat” but I […]

DIY Valentine’s Day Mailbox

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and the teachers have assigned work for the parents lol (momwork).  Gives me an excuse to craft with the kiddies.  It seems like my daughter’s Preschool class has more projects than my son’s Kindergarten class.

God is amazing.

Reflecting on Philippians 6 this evening and it serves as a good reminder that we are not in control and that God is the source of our peace & happiness. Stress, pain & anxiety are all symptoms of a malnourished soul. Just like your body needs food…so does your soul. Any chance we get we […]
