*Thank you to Pine Mountain for sponsoring this post!*
This spring Adam and I decided that it was time to start using our home for entertaining. It's something we had always wanted to do, and once our house was safe and functional enough to invite people over we put our plan into motion. The goal was large monthly parties, every single month. That was six months ago now, and we have since successfully hosted six parties. Also? We've learned a lot. So here is my list of my top ten …

What I Learned on the Whole30
The other day a reader commented and said “I need to know how the Whole30 went!” Did you finish it?” and then I realized that I never posted part II of our January Whole30 adventure.

Meal Planning Made Simple (How eMeals Saved My Sanity)
I may have mentioned a few times before that I don't really enjoy cooking...and by "may have mentioned" I of course mean "mentioned repeatedly". Despite that (actually, because of that) I want to take a break from DIY for a second and talk about food.
4-6 pm is the hardest part of my day. It's "the witching hour" for the kids, they are either cranky cause they didn't nap or cranky cause they just woke up. Adam is getting home from work and I'm scurrying around picking up the house so it looks …

My Favorite Birthday Tradition: Mississippi Mud
Today is my birthday! I'm 27, cause I know y'all are curious : )
So in celebration, I thought I would share my favorite birthday tradition...Mississippi Mud. Pie, that is...or cake...neither really. I don't know what you would call it. Desert. Birthday desert.
Ever since I can remember I have had Mississippi Mud on my birthday. I've never really liked cake so this was a welcome tradition. Hold the gasps of disbelief please...I don't hate cake. It's cake after all, not bananas. But I don't …
