My Current Face-Cleansing Routine
There are two things that I don’t LOVE doing. One is brushing my teeth. But since I hate hairy teeth even more, I brush brush brush sometimes multiple times a day. The second thing I really would just rather avoid is washing my face. I’m not sure if it’s because I don’t like water around […]
New Year, New Toothpaste
The thing is that I LIKE and WANT clean, white teeth and fresh breath. I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in that. Please tell me I'm not.

But even though we are a military family, I think it is really important to teach them to say thank you to the men and women, in this community, who serve and who have served.

How to Have a Successful Quiet Time

I know you've heard me talk about moving, because, I moved! Okay, I'm about a month from the actual move date, but anyone who has ever moved knows, it's a process that takes a lot longer than just the amount of time it takes to get yourself from the previous place to the new place.

How I Put the Healthy into my Meals
When it comes it comes to how I eat, I want it to be healthy...and easy. Oh easy! Because while I do love to cook, I don't want my days to revolved around prepping and cooking what I'm going to eat I could step away from the article or post I was working on early, in order to cook myself a meal, or I could continue to do what I've been doing lately, which is grab a Healthy Choice® Power Bowls and smartwater.
