Hello! We finished up our 4th Whole 30 (whoo-hoo!!) last week and we are SO excited that we completed another one! Our FOURTH Whole 30! Can you believe it?! I certainly can’t. If you remember, I also did a “Whole 15” back in November which…
Those of you that follow me on Instagram may have seen my stunned/surprised/shocked post last month when my sweet husband bought me a pet pig for my birthday. He left the house that day saying that he had to “go see about something on Craigslist”…

Tomorrow morning is the first day of school. We’ve met and re-met all 3 teachers, organized school supplies neatly in the classrooms, sewed patches on uniforms, and filled backpacks with necessities. Gavin, Guini, and Gemma are all sleeping soundly in their beds now – Gemma…
