    There is just something so special and sweet about There is just something so special and sweet about a homemade cake. A little lopsided. A little wobbly. But filled with a whole lot of love 💗🎂. . The kids and I had so much fun making this birthday cake for Frankie, and I’m giving you all the details in today’s blog post - from the most delicious chocolate cake recipe we used (which by the way was amazing, thank you @inagarten !), to how to make a sprinkle “5” without getting frosting everywhere 🤦‍♀️. . This cake may not have turned out “perfect”, or as a pretty as a bakery would have made it, but it was yummy and messy and filled with L-O-V-E 💗🎂 .

    What’s one thing you can do tomorrow that will m What’s one thing you can do tomorrow that will make you HAPPY?! . Really think about it. Just one thing you can do that will bring you JOY. . It’s taken me a while to realize that in order to feel good and happy - I have to work on it. Making small choices in my attitude and behavior, every day. . The world around us may feel a little crazy these days (to say the least), and while there’s so much of it that’s out of our control. Maybe there are one or two small things we can control each day that add up....to hopefully make some pretty big change. . Tomorrow morning I’m committing to waking up early again before the kids, getting in a quick meditation and then taking a walk to the beach. What about YOU?! What’s one thing you’re going to do tomorrow to help you find a little JOY? 💗💗 . #choosejoy #choosehappiness #joyinthejourney #everydayhappy #liveinspired #begoodtoyourself #begoodtoeachother #mindsetshift #mindsetmatters #littlethingsmatter #intentionalliving #intentionsetting #mindfulliving #mindfulnesspractice #abundancemindset #abundantlife #seethegood #seethebeauty #joyfulliving #joyfulmama #choosejoyeveryday #bekindtoyourself #changeyourmindset #shiftyourperspective #shiftyourmindset #shiftyourenergy #moveyourbodyeveryday #createalifeyoulove
    My guy, Sloan, helped me make a yummy little e-lea My guy, Sloan, helped me make a yummy little e-leaning snack break for us today - vegan chocolate chip pumpkin muffins (is it too early for pumpkin?? 🎃🤷‍♀️) . We make these all the time - and are seriously so easy and yummy. Here’s what you need... . 🖤 2 cups of old fashioned oats (not the “quick cooking”) 🖤 1 cup of pumpkin purée 🖤 1 cup of full fat coconut milk 🖤 1/4 cup maple syrup 🖤 1 tbsp chia seeds 🖤 2 tsp of cinnamon 🖤 1 tsp of baking soda 🖤 1/2 tsp of salt 🖤 1/4 cup of chocolate chips (we use @lilys_sweets vegan chips, and LOVE them). . Place all ingredients (except chocolate chips) into a food processor and pulse until combined. Mix in @lilys_sweets chocolate chips. Then scoop out into greased mini muffin tins (makes 24 mini muffins). Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool and enjoy! . What about you?! What’s your “go to” easy snack recipe? Bonus points if it includes pumpkin 😉🎃 . #pumpkineverything #pumpkinseason #pumpkinmuffins #pumpkinmuffin #veganrecipes #veganfood #vegandessert #muffintime #eatgoodfeelgood #mindfuleating #healthyeating #healthyish #healthyandhappy #homegoods #healthydesserts #begoodtoyourbody #fuelyourbodyright #nourishyourbody #cleaneatingrecipes #cleanrecipes #cleandessert #healthydessert #healthysweets #afterschoolsnack #healthysnackideas #kidshealthyfood #kidssnacks #cookingwithkids

    Anyone else feel like they could use a little men Anyone else feel like they could use a little mental “reset”? A little clearing out of the cobwebs and shaking off some of this....yuck? . Yesterday in my stories I shared how I’m taking the month of September to “reset” and shift some of my energy and thinking - and so many of you shared that you were feeling the same 💗💗 . So today on the blog I’m sharing all the things I’m doing this September to help me go into this next chapter feeling a little healthier & happier. Simple, little things, we can all do that make such a difference in our energy & attitude. . I would LOVE to hear what you do when you need a little mental reset. What helps you?! .

    #AD Putting together a quick and easy dinner for t #AD Putting together a quick and easy dinner for tonight 👌🌮 . As a busy mama, I’m always looking for quick and healthy dinners for me and my crew. Which is why I love these super simple and yummy black bean & sweet potato enchiladas. . I used the original style #grainfree wraps from @egglifefoods, filled them with smoky black beans, quinoa, and sweet potatoes. Then covered the whole thing with cheese and baked it up until it was gooey and bubbly and made the whole kitchen smell amazing. . I love how simple and easy it was to use @egglifefoods wraps, not to mention that the fact that it’s so yummy my kids will actually forget it’s good for them. A win in my book. Plus, each @egglifefoods wrap has 5 grams of protein and less than 1 gram of carbs or fewer. . #ad #egglifefoods #whatsinyouregglife #grainfree

This morning, I woke the kids up early, put them in the car, grabbed some donuts and took them to the beach. My heart has been so heavy lately with everything happening in our world - and to be honest - I just needed to start the day with a little joy. And I couldn’t think of a better way than a surprise donut outing 🍩🌊 . Today we choose LOVE FIRST ❤️💛💙 . #lovefirst #bethechangeyouwanttosee #gohomeandloveyourfamily #chooselove #choosekindness #bekindalways #loveyourneighbor #loveyourfamily #spreadkindness #spreadthelove #lovefirstalways #teachthemyoung #betheexample
