What have we been up to......

Summer is quickly passing! We finished up softball with closing ceremonies Saturday and I am glad to finally be done and have that off the schedule.  My daughter did really well and made a lot of progress.  She loved it and is looking forward to playing next year.

We are looking forward to finally being able to relax and enjoy summer!  I see a lot of days relaxing by the pool and I have a couple other fun things planned. What fun things do you have planned for your kids this summer?


I don't know about you, but I am always looking for the perfect nail cream/oil. I have hard nails, but they will get dry and start to split and peel. I put this recipe together a couple weeks ago and I have been using it every night since. I have noticed a huge difference in my nails and so far no splitting and peeling. It will be a great addition come winter when the cold, dry air depletes the moisture from my nails. Give it a try and let me know what you think? What do you use to keep your nails and cuticles in tip top shape?

I am looking forward to hear how you will be spending your summer.  I am always looking for great ideas and activities. Happy Wednesday!

Chobani's #BreakYouMake

Did you know June 3 was Chobani Flips National Break You Make Day? Well, it was and Chobani is challenging everyone to participate in their #breakyoumake campaign to nominate someone they think deserves a break.  When it comes down to it, everyone needs a break every now and then.

It wasn't hard to think of someone, however, I wanted to take a moment to talk about someone special to me who I think deserves a break, my mom.

My mom stayed at home and took care of us. She spent her time raising us and growing up, I never realized how much of a sacrifice that was. She was always there for us when we needed her. Now that I am grown with kids of my own, I realize just how much she did for us. Now that I am grown, she has turned into a friend. She has always gone out of her way to help others.  She now spends time watching her grandson and helping out with her other grandkids. Thanks for all you did and do for us mom! Take time for yourself and enjoy a much needed break!

Sugar Scrub...

I love this sugar scrub!  I use it a couple times a week.  It keeps my skin feeling soft and smooth.  It is also great on your feet to keep them nice and smooth, especially during the summer months when you are wearing sandals.  I like to switch out the oils for endless possibilities.  Take a few minutes to whip it together and let me know what you think!  

Hair Rinse

I first made this hair rinse a couple years ago.  Since then, I have revised it just a little. I had ran out and just didn't take the time to make more.  When I finally did a couple weeks ago, I had forgotten how much of a difference it made in my hair. It cuts down on the frizziness and my hair is also softer.

Chicken Hash....

I can't believe we are already on the second week of June.  I hope the second week brings nicer weather than the first!  We had rain and dreary weather all last week and I am looking forward to some sunshine.

A couple months back, I was looking through a cookbook in Costco and saw a recipe for Chicken Hash.  I took note of the ingredients and then came home to recreate it myself.  It turned out amazing and my girls loved it!

Chicken Hash

2 TBSP coconut oil

2-3 chicken breasts, cubed

1/2 t salt

1/2 t black pepper

1 sweet potato grated

1 Granny Smith apple (I used Gala since that 

what I had in the house) chopped and peeled

1/4-1/2 t red pepper flakes

1/4 c apple cider vinegar

baby spinach or arugula (optional)

Cook the cubed chicken in the coconut oil on medium heat.  Once it is browned, add the sweet potato and apple.  Add remaining ingredients and saute for another 10-15 minutes. 

This was a quick and simple recipe on a night when I needed something quick!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Happy Monday!

Sinus Bomb...

This spring has been hard on my sinuses.  The weather has been up and down and with it I ended up with a lot of pain and pressure in my sinuses. I used this sinus bomb several times a day to help open up my nasal passages and keep me draining.  Give it a try the next time you have sinus pressure and pain.

Eyelash Serum...

Are your lashes short?  Are they looking a little thin?  Breaking?  This eyelash serum is just what you need.  It nourishes your lashes while you sleep at night.  This serum is a blend of lemon, lavender, and fractionated coconut oil.  The fractionated coconut oil stimulates new growth.  It is also nourishing and moisturizing to your lashes. Lemon oil cleanses and stimulates the lashes. The lavender provides nourishment to your lashes and follicles. I apply this nightly after removing my makeup.  It didn't take long after I first started using it for me to notice a difference in my lashes.  They are longer and much healthier now.
