Breakfast is a huge challenge during the school year. I want my husband and kids to eat a hot, nutritious breakfast. But with one child leaving at 7:00, one child leaving at 7:30, a husband leaving at 7:45, and the last child leaving at 8:30, sitting down together for a hot breakfast isn’t a feasible option. Furthermore, cooking breakfast for my youngest, who leaves at 7:00, would mean I’d have to get up awfully early. It’s ...Read More

Cranberry Walnut Granola Cereal
This grain-free Cranberry Walnut Granola cereal is a delicious breakfast for a nutritional boost to start my day. When I first made the commitment to less processed food and more real food, breakfast was one of the hardest meals to wrap my mind around.

The more allergy-free options you need, the more weight loss programs you pursue, the more essential oils you buy, the more whole foods you find—all of these things cost something. That's why it's best to learn from those who are doing these things wisely before you just start spending. But where do you start? An Enormous Library of Healthy Living Resources One of the best places for me to get advice is from e-book bundles: hundreds and hundreds of e-books and e-courses from the leaders in the healthy living ...Read More
How to Raise Modest Kids in an Immodest World
"Mama, Chloe is gonna LOVE this dress!" my four-year-old daughter gushed in front of the mirror one Sunday morning. With her eyes shining brightly and her dimpled grin broad, she was clearly delighted by the thought of her friend's certain approval. And that's how I knew we had a lot of work to do when it comes to modesty. Not because of the dress's hem length or sleeve style or neckline. And not because of its cost or extravagance. You see, it wasn't my daughter's dress that was immodest. It was her heart. Her heart that wanted her friend to pay attention to her. To notice her. To admire her. And ...Read More
