Why Pyoure Hydrogen Peroxide is my Go-to Cleaner

Over the years I’ve talked about lots of different cleaning products and ways to clean your home. Today I’m going to share a somewhat new product, called Pyoure hydrogen peroxide, and tell you all about why it’s my favorite. You can ask my friends, they’ve all heard about why I love this product so much, and many of them have purchased it to use in their own homes. Earlier this year an acquaintance sent me the link to this blog called Dr. Annie’s Experiments, and what I learned from Dr. Annie forever changed the way I clean! Did you know… Read More

Overnight Strawberry Coconut Chia Pudding

A make ahead chia pudding made with coconut milk and topped with fresh strawberries and shredded coconut. This overnight strawberry coconut chia pudding is the perfect breakfast for a warm summer morning. Hi! This is Andrea from Cooking with a Wallflower. It’s August already! Can you believe it?

Haven Conference & What Happens when you choose God, not fear

It has been awhile since I’ve posted but I’ve been in a whirlwind of “TO DO” lists that always follows after attending the Haven Conference. Aside from me speaking (which I’ll get to in a minute) I attended a couple of classes and learned a ton! However that lead to 2 pages of things to do, to update old posts and start new adventures, which I will also get to. First let me tell you about how my class went. I don’t think I’ve ever been so terrified to do anything in my life. In my book, talking to a… Read More

Gourmet S’mores – Chocolate Chip Cookies and Caramel

Thank you Huggies® for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own. In honor of National S’mores Day (what a yummy day), on August 30th, I wanted to share a delicious gourmet s’more filled with chocolate, ooey gooey caramel and marshmallow. When I think about s’mores I think campfires, Hershey’s chocolate and graham crackers, but when I wanted to create a s’more for National S’mores day, I wanted it to be something different, something unique, something decadent. I started thinking about all my favorite ooey, gooey things and the first thing I thought of was caramel. The next… Read More

Farmhouse Chic Kitchen Mini-Makeover

Thank you Better Homes and Gardens at Walmart for sponsoring this post. All my opinions about their beautiful products, are my own. Last month I was super fortunate and got to visit the Better Homes and Gardens headquarters again, in Des Moines, Iowa. While I was there “Farmhouse Chic” was all the rage, which got me thinking about our kitchen. With our pine ceiling, and open shelving, we have the Farmhouse look going on in the kitchen, so I thought, why not add a little “Farmhouse Chic”. One of the things I was really inspired by, at the BHG… Read More

Easy Tips for Organizing Fabric

Recently I’ve developed a fabric obsession. There are so many absolutely gorgeous colors and prints of fabric. I find that I want to collect every one of those lovely fabrics. Hi, Susan from Organized 31 here. My newly developed love of fabric led to a messy, sloppy sewing room. I had to do something to get organized and do it quickly. Fabric comes in all different widths and lengths which can make it difficult to fold them in a uniform size. A completed uniform size is key to organizing fabric neatly. To gain a uniform folded size, I simply wrap the… Read More
