Hello! I am joining Marty for her Bloggers Fall Home Tour. I love to join this tour every season, it is a great way to get inspiration and to share other amazing blogs with all of you! If you are coming over from hbErin Spain welcome to my blog! We are a family of five, living in Connecticut. We are less than a mile to the beach and about an hour from NYC. Living in an 1100 square foot house, I don't do a lot of seasonal decor, but I do make some small intentional changes to my every-day decor and of course add a pumpkin or 20! It is a good time to refresh, move things from room to room and to ... Read More
Paleo Fall Dinner- Paleo Pumpkin Chili and Paleo Bread
I love a yummy, healthy Fall dinner. Especially one that I can make in the morning before it gets crazy at night and everyone is starving. I typically share Paleo recipes on my blog. Because that is what we eat. Now don't get me wrong, we do not eat this way 100% of the time. But it is the goal. My kids do eat all the regular things kids eat (i.e.- Nutella!). But I eat really close to Paleo all the time. I just feel my best self. I know it is not for everyone. That is why I am sharing this EASY Paleo Fall Dinner recipe- Paleo Pumpkin Chili AND Paleo Bread! I want to show you that eating Paleo ... Read More

Friday Favorites Starts with Pillows
My new Mudcloth Pillows are just making me so happy. There is so much devastation right now with Texas it has been hard to not feel guilty and silly for being happy about pillows. Even just doing normal everyday things- like taking my kids to school, that is not happening in Texas. I almost didn't share my new pillows, but I thought they are a good distraction right now with the disturbing news. And over on my Instagram you could win two pillows- so maybe that would brighten someones day. If you haven't noticed the pillow trend of Mudcloth yet- well it's strong!

Paleo Apple Crisp- All Time Favorite Dessert
I am excited to join "Taste of the Season" hosted by the talented Kristin from Ella Claire. This will be a series over the holiday season, a group of bloggers sharing recipes and today is apples! No cake for me on my birthday. Give me Apple Crisp all day everyday! The first year I stared to eat strict Paleo diet my sister (who everyone needs a sister like her) made me a special Paleo Apple Crisp and brought it to my work, all hot and yummy. She had never made anything Paleo and had to go to the store to find things like almond flour and coconut flour. It was so thoughtful because even on my ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with ways to Make the Most of Everything
On my Instagram the other day. I talked about how my really good friend lived in a small house in Downtown Salt Lake City. Most homes in that area are older, just like mine and smaller scale. I have to say I LOVED driving up to her home and passing the small quant restaurants all glowing at night. She lived on the most charming street, one of those streets you want to get out and walk so you can peep in the windows. Well one of downsides to this charming area and home is lack of storage. Back then we lived in 3,000 square feet in a new residential area. I have to admit I was a little horrified ... Read More
Back To School-Three Tips That Keep Mom Sane!
We are headed back to school next week. It got me thinking of what we can do to be successful at this whole school thing. Besides the basic homework and getting enough sleep. Because I have had kids leave the house in tears and I want to go pull them out of class and give them a hug (or text them a message, thank goodness for the Gizmo Gadget, anyone's kids have one of those? Best thing ever!) I can typically relate it back to the fact that we were not prepared. So I shared three of my little back to school tips that have kept me sane and also made getting to school on time a lot easier with ... Read More
