together we have built a life we love
Homemade onion stock smells AH-Mazing! I have a batch in my pressure canner as I am typing, and I can’t wait to have this restocked on my shelf. This adds such great flavor to my stews and soups. Along with many other dishes I make.
Let me tell you, these dehydrated candied oranges are delicious. They are a little tangy and sweet- it is a perfect flavor combo. These would make a great gift for someone or make a bunch for yourself and your family.
Homemade cinnamon rolls are absolutely delicious. I am sure your family will love them as much as mine does. You can make these ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator or freeze the dough for when you are ready to use it. Or do as I do, and make them the morning of.
If you love chocolate and caramel, you will love these Chocolate Caramel Cinnamon Rolls. My favorite thing about these cinnamon rolls (besides the taste) is that they make their own icing while they cook. It can’t get any easier than that.
Spiced Christmas Jam is absolutely delicious. It is sweet with a bit of tartness from the cranberries, a perfect holiday favorite. My family enjoys this over some cream cheese with crackers. This Christmas Jam also makes for a great homemade gift for friends and family.
I think you are going to love this Super Quick and Easy Chicken Taco Soup. This soup has only five ingredients. No, that is not a typo! You probably have everything in your pantry, so you can make this now!
I may be a bit biased, but I really think this is The Absolute Best Homemade Apple Pie Filling ever! Not only that but when you are cooking this your home is going to smell divine.
Dehydrating sweet potatoes is so easy. I enjoy having them on hand to use for snacks, soups, and more. Here I am going to take you step by step on how to correctly dehydrate sweet potatoes.
I love everything pumpkin, and this recipe really hits that spot! If you are a pumpkin fanatic as well, you must make this pumpkin french toast!
Apple season is among us. It is the perfect time to get out that dehydrator and make some of these delicious dehydrated cinnamon and sugar apple chips.
If I had a nickel for every time I heard, that I am supermom, I would be rich. In all seriousness, I hear this so much and the truth is. I am not Supermom. I am not even remotely close.
I have a lot of time to think at night after the children go to bed. The house is quiet and all is calm. The chaos of the day is over and nothing is really needing to be done. The nights are hard at times because of the silence.
I feel Mommas we need to chat. Let’s talk about something that we don’t talk about much, self-care. Why is it that so many moms feel guilty when we do something for ourselves? Why do moms feel like we are being selfish, when we do something for ourselves?
When our daughter was born sick, that lead to a compiling list of disabilities for her. There were many things I wasn’t prepared for. For example the stares and comments of strangers as they passed by us in the grocery store. People can be brutal. Our little one is deaf, (I am not sure if this is common amongst deaf children) but she screams. Just randomly screams. She isn’t mad, she just screams and smiles. The looks oh the looks. Another very hard pill to swallow is when other parents/grandparent talks about or compares their child to yours.
I come across many mom’s that are on this same journey as we are. Some ahead of us and others just starting out. I want to share a few things to those mothers that are in the beginning of this new life.
