Lifestyle blog for homemaking and personal growth
I’m going to be honest–getting out into nature isn’t easy for me. I’m not really sure why, as I want to be out in nature, but I always find myself indoors doing everything but being outside. But being out in nature is the best way to reduce stress and re-set your nervous system. It’s the…
One thing that always causes me a lot of anxiety is cooking meals on a weeknight. I don’t know how many nights I come home and think, “oh no, what am I going to make for dinner?” or “I really don’t want to make dinner” because it is hard to put in a full day…

And I’ve been really delighted with everything that is blooming in the garden. I feel truly blessed that my husband and…
