The best cheesy bread ever. We have this pizza place locally that makes amazing cheesy sticks and it’s basically all my kids want when we get pizza. So we made them at home. Share the recipe with a friend who needs it! ❤️

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt

Place warm but not too hot water in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top of the water. Stir. Add in the salt and sugar and stir to combine. Add in 2 1/2 cups of the four. Add remaining flour, half cup at a time until the dough is soft and nearly sticky but doesn’t stick to your hands when you knead it. Place dough jn a covered bowl and let rise 30 minutes or until double in size.

It’s hands down been one of the hardest, saddest

It’s hands down been one of the hardest, saddest, most disappointing weeks of my life. I sat on my deck last night and just ugly cried for the longest time. Deep deep sobbing I hadn’t given myself time to really do until that moment. I feel such a loss over all that has transpired over the last week. Yes, with my Beautycounter as a job, but mostly the grief over the loss of a community of friends who I have grown to love, appreciate and admire so much.
.
.
There is no way to completely re-create what I’ve lost, I know that to be true. But I’m also believing that God wants to bless a new chapter, too. The most exciting part of this new chapter is getting to work with people I’ve always dreamed about working with - my dear friends @louisemccown and @whitneyaray who I’ve worked as co-leaders at Beautycounter with for years and admired as colleagues for the longest time. My prayer is we can build the same sort of truly special community at Arbonne as we did at Beautycounter.
.
.
I’m committed to sharing authentically and helping my Beautycounter customers find replacements for all their favorite products, and am also a little excited to try some new things along the way.
.
.
And above all, thank you guys for the kindest messages over the last week. The calls. The texts. The DMs and notes have meant so so much to me. Thank you for encouraging me to take the next step when my feet have felt really really shaky. Thank you for cheering me on and giving me the wind under my wings I’ve needed this week. I’m so thankful for this community. ❤️❤️

We have limited space and no real “drop zone” in our kitchen area. We needed a space saving yet ultra functional space and I think we created just that!

I know people might have a loge/hate relationship with these free people overalls but for me it’s all LOVE when it comes to an easy yet cute outfit I can get messy in with the kids.

I’ve been wearing @eyebobs blue light glasses for years and personally prefer my face with glasses 😂 If you’re looking for a totally non sponsored plug, here it is! They are quality + comfy and oh so cute!

Primary Bath before and after! This space had SO much natural potential. So much space. Beautiful built in vanity. Shower nook hidden in the corner. Pretty view to the backyard. It just needed a facelift! I’m so excited about how it turned out - I think it gives a lot of “old home” character in a newly renovated space. Need links or have questions? Let me know below! #homedecor #homedesign #home #remodel #fixerupper

There aren’t a lot of things that get me riled u

There aren’t a lot of things that get me riled up quite like the notion that you need to use toxic products (including Botox and other injectables) and sacrifice your health in the name of meeting society’s expectation for aging. My POV? Aging is a gift! And wrinkles are NORMAL. Instead of hiding the signs of aging, let’s age gracefully and feel confident in our skin. I’ve been using clean, safe and high performing skincare for over 10 years and can honestly say I feel better about my skin now than I did in college. I’ve learned SO much about how to care well for my skin and find products that work with my skin’s unique needs in each and every season of life (including through many pregnancies + postpartum seasons)

My favorite clean skincare company is celebrating 11 years of being in business this month and preparing to launch a NEW line of clean fragrances very soon. All orders of $50 ship FREE, plus you get to select a fragrance sample of your choosing for free with your order.
