Lazy Praying
Without opening up too much in my first week of posting, something that I continue to struggle with is lazy praying. I’ve always been told that when you are praying, you should imagine yourself actually speaking with God. But how often does your mind wander when you are praying? Or you just go through the…

Where to Start?
When Kacie and I set out to start a new blog, we knew we wanted to include some aspect of faith into it. Over and over I kept blocking myself from writing anything because I wasn’t sure of the direction I wanted to go with it. It’s a blog about being vegan, so does God…

Miss Emilia: 10 Month Update
Two more months until baby girl turns a year…where did the time go? It’s continuing to fly by and I don’t think that’s going to change any time soon! Sleep – we’re mostly down to one wake up each night but she’s still very unpredictable. She’s been sick off and on since Thanksgiving with colds/fevers…

Disconnecting (But Really Reconnecting)
I’ve decided I really need to disconnect from social media and phone addiction. Both Joe and I have committed to not using our phones in the evening after Joe’s home from work and before the kiddos are in bed. I noticed that we both tended to check our phones a lot throughout the night and…

Minimalism Challenge!
I easily get overwhelmed with the amount of stuff that seems to collect in our house. Even though I think I do a good job of getting rid of things we no longer use, things pile up easily. And a house full of clutter, even if it’s stuff we are using regularly, makes me really…

Baked Sweet Potatoes with Hummus and Roasted Chickpeas
This is really more of a dinner idea than a recipe but it was so easy and delicious I had to share! Sweet potatoes, hummus, avocados, and chickpeas are among my favorite foods. And my kiddos really like them as well. Enzo was picking up the sweet potato and eating it like a sandwich. I…

Miss Emilia: 9 Month Update
Nine months as parents of two kiddos…wow! I can honestly say that some things are much easier the second time around but other things are WAY harder. Not going to lie and say there weren’t days (or weeks) over the past nine months that I questioned our decision to have another kid. We had just…

Butternut Squash, Pomegranate and Kale Bowl
I am obsessed with salad and grain bowls. They are super quick and easy to make and are very customizable based on what you have on hand. Tahini dressing has become my all-time favorite sauce for everything. Tahini can be a little pricey, however I just found some on Amazon for about $12 for two…

Why Vegan?
At the end of June this year, Joe happened to bring home a kid’s cookbook from the library that unknowingly was vegan. Enzo and I started going through it, making things in the cookbook and reading the facts and information that were spread throughout the book. Prior to this, we’ve been eating a mostly Paleo…
