I was shopping online for clients and came across such great deals that I had to share! I get asked all the time If I know when there is going to be a sale and often I don't know until it shows up online! So I thought I better share with my readers, before they end. Some are only good for TODAY, Columbus Day. I linked up some of my favorite pieces at the best sale price for you and the coupon codes to use. These stores are my go-to when shopping online for clients and myself. * post contains affilate links World Market- Use code FAMFRIENDS for an EXTRA 30% off your order! Sale Ends ... Read More
Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole- Healthy Thanksgiving Side
I used to host Thanksgiving when we lived in Utah. I did it for 6 years. 25-30 people. I loved it. Now there is no-way I could squeeze that many bodies in this 1100 square foot house without it splitting open! When I was playing hostess with the mostess I would always have everyone vote what their favorite side dish was. Without fail I would win (I am not competitive at all). My winning dish was this Sweet Potato Casserole...let me correct that PALEO Sweet Potato Casserole. And I would always be so excited to tell them that it WAS in fact Paleo and prove to them that eating Paleo can be ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with Halloween Decor That is Tastefully Done and SALES!
Hello! This past week I posted on my Instagram Stories videos of houses in our area that I love to ride our bikes by. You already know I am THAT person who creeps slowly by the cute houses hoping to peep inside. Finn and I were out on a bike ride and loving all of the Fall Decor and little touches of Halloween Decor that neighbors had made and thinking how lovely everything was. Until I came across the "Scary Halloween house" the one that went a little too far. I literally shielded Finn's eyes! They actually splattered paint to look like blood (I am hoping it is just paint) up their sidewalk ... Read More
Fall Table Setting- Using What You Have
I love a simple, easy table setting. A table setting with pieces that I already have, all mixed together to create a place everyone feels comfortable and special to be at our table. This table setting actually reminds me of my mom. She always clips sunflowers from the yard and has them on the table in vases she found at second hand stores. I know she influenced me on how I decorate today and for sure influenced the "use what you have" way of thinking. She is about focusing on connecting and loving on her guests than fussing over a big fancy table. She is the most caring person and the way she ... Read More
How I Eat Mexican on a Paleo Diet and other Paleo Hacks- Pumpkin Tacos
Chips and Salsa are life! I could honestly eat that for lunch everyday and I would be happy girl. I really don't think I could get sick of it. But maybe that isn't the best lunch option. Living a Paleo Diet you would think chips and salsa would be out of the question. Or even tacos made with a tortilla, not just wrapped in lettuce. When I go out to eat I am always that girl asking the waiter to please wrap my taco's in a lettuce cup or Fajitas with lettuce cups rather than tortillas. But sometimes you just want a tortilla with chips and salsa! Taco Tuesday or Mexican Monday can still be a ... Read More

Friday Favorites starts with Cutting Boards
Friends. Friends and Cutting Boards. That sounds like I am going to say all the ways friends are like cutting boards. No. Just my friends visited last week for one day, really like 6 hours. My friends appreciate the little details in my home and tell me! I do the same for them. It gave me a boost to have them visit and also left me missing them and a little sad. I do have friends in CT but I feel like the friends I have here already have their really good friends they have known forever and family close. Most people in our area grew up here and know everyone. I remember when we moved to CT ... Read More
Outdoor Patio- Now we REALLY love it!
We had a yard sale or "tag sale" as they call it in Connecticut. I wanted it to be good, I knew I had some blog readers coming, friends and social media friends, I didn't want them to be disappointed! So I put out a lot of things I wasn't really planning on, like the outdoor patio furniture we had at the time. I put out the patio table first because it was a little damaged. Then I added the red chairs and the sectional too! I was ready for a change and had some ideas in my mind that I thought would be better for our family. We made some quick decisions when we originally moved in and we didn't ... Read More
