I shared that I was making these energy oat bites, and didn’t except the slew of recipe requests, so I wanted to share it on the website so it’s more easily found!
My friend Cassie made these for me after I had Stella. It’s a recipe that is supposed to help with lactation, but the ingredients are so easy and filling, both Christian and Theo love them too. Honestly, they taste like cookie dough to me.
I will eat two for breakfast or two as a late afternoon snack. So, so good – I can’t believe it’s only six ingredients!
I N G R E D I E N T S:
1 cup oats
1/2 cup ground flax seed
1 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
D I R E C T I O N S:
Mix all dry ingredients together. Add honey and peanut butter. Refrigerate until cold and then form into little balls (I use an ice cream scooper). Store in container in refrigerator.
After Theo was born, one of our neighborhood friends brought this soup for dinner and we loved it. Christian loved it so much, he couldn’t stop talking about it.
My friend Maria shared the recipe with me; even better – it’s so easy. Full of flavor, a crowd-pleaser and perfect for this time of year.
Find the recipe here. Even the kids eat the tortellini and sausage (not the kale… yet)! If you try it – let me know what you think.
As my mini maternity leave wraps up, I wanted to continue with the monthly favorites and share the top sellers for September!
I have enjoyed this maternity leave more than any of the others. Life with three kids is busy, but we have also been busy wrapping up home renovations and managing typical homeowner fun (sewage grinders, squirrels in the attic, air conditioning drama… I’m so glad I wasn’t a homeowner until 32).
I was still on email every day and working on fall partnerships, but not having any real obligations was freeing.
I’m dipping my toe back into work but still taking it slow, and I’m excited about it!
All of that to say… let’s talk about this month’s most loved products –
Did you purchase any of these items? I own most of them and love them, but I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thank you so much for checking in and reading – xo –
This isn’t my most stunning photography, but I love this white bean chicken chili recipe SO much and I realized I have never shared it here on the website!
It is an easy instant pot recipe (or you can use a slow cooker), and the flavor and consistency is perfect. I do add a little bit more chicken broth than the recipe calls for, and I serve it with cornbread.
It is a good amount for four big servings, but if you have a lot of mouths to feed I would recommend doubling the recipe.
I love these items, all great price points, and I’m so glad to see you guys do too! Let me know if you have any questions and as always, thank you for stopping by – XO –
In November of 2023, a house became available on the market that I felt we would regret if we didn’t take a look. I knew we wanted to have another child, and the house for sale checked a lot of boxes that our previous home didn’t.
By December… we had sold our house and closed on this house. It happened really fast! But we’ve now been in this house for six months, and I haven’t regretted our choice once. This new space suits our families’ needs, and I know when our third child joins us in September, we’ll feel even more settled. I’m sharing a peek into some of the more “finished” rooms so far… but everything still feels like a work in progress. I hope we will be here for a long time, so I am trying to be patient to make sure we are making the best long-term choices for this family home.
Buying a home is a big feat and it can feel overwhelming and time-consuming. Especially on top of the chaos of regular day-to-day life! Anything that simplifies the process is helpful, and Opendoor allows you to buy and sell real estate online from your own device at home.
For sellers, you can skip all the hassles of listing and showing your house, close it, and get paid in just a matter of days. You can even pick your close date to what works best for your timeline.
For buyers, the price you see is the price you pay. There are no bidding wars or losing to other buyers. Through the Opendoor app, you can tour available homes on your schedule without a scheduled appointment, and you can unlock the door right from your app!
Have you been considering a move lately? I’d love to hear who is in the market! Check out Opendoor.com and let me know what you think. I’ve been having some fun perusing over there.
Thank you so much for checking in and reading! More home content coming soon – xo –
Today and tomorrow are Amazon Prime Day! There are some great grabs this year, but only if you’ve already wanted it. Don’t go crazy – this “Christmas in July” situation with all of these sales right now feels a little over the top!
