One of my favorite snacks and easy meal add ons! Even better when the eggs are from my neighbor’s backyard hens! I love a good soft boiled egg, not runny, not hard. It’s tricky to find the perfect balance. My husband taught me this timing trick years ago and I realized the other day I should have shared this with y’all! Yes, I know there are million and one ways to boil eggs. People do them in the instant pot, in the oven, in the air fryer, in a crockpot. You get the idea. There are A LOT of ways to make your eggs. Timing is another whole debate. I’m not here to negate anyone else’s method, just sharing the simple one that works for us😘. - 2 quart saucepan - HOT water (we have an instant hot water spigot at our sink, but even just extra hot water from your faucet will work too). - Gently add eggs to saucepan with a spoon - turn heat to high - set timer for 10minutes - when timer is done. Remove eggs from heat and gently roll into bowl of iced water. Voila! I love to keep mine in a bowl in my fridge for easy access and snacking anytime. One of my favorite snacks is a soft boiled egg sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning🤤!

When I first began to really become conscious of the harmful effects of the chemicals in personal care products and environmental toxins all around, I was overwhelmed. Where to even start? My friends and I would joke “whelp I guess, everything gives you cancer these days”. The jokes would help lessen the pressure I felt as a new mom trying to do my best. As I learned more I began to realize that some people go way extreme on their avoidance of EVERYTHING, to each their own. However what I quickly learned is more people than not fall into information overloaded & exhausted apathy and I knew that health had way more to do with finding balance than trying to do it all perfectly. We can only control so much. There are little changes we can make every day that create positive changes and lessen the negative chemical impact and burden on our bodies. We can choose: - healthier household cleaners. Name brands too expensive, start using simple white vinegar, unscented dishsoap and baking soda. - clean beauty; start swapping out your personal care products for ones void of synthetic fragrance, phthalates, PEGs, parabens, etc. - start opening your windows on clear and cool days. - vacuum & dust your home more frequently. - tune into dirty dozen & clean 15 so you can still incorporate organic, but use non-organic when you can too, which helps with cost significantly.

Needed this reminder. Maybe you do too. Rest is not idle, it’s not wasteful. Sometimes rest is the most productive thing you can do for your body and soul. “It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol.” - brene brown If we don’t intentionally choose rest, our bodies will choose it for us. One thing I learned early on in my small business journey was that I had to learn the art of resting, not quitting. All around me were people that would go full steam ahead with an idea, a new venture, etc without stopping and then all of a sudden they would just stop because they were just too tired to continue. I knew that if I wanted to be able to sustain this work I was called to, I needed to learn how to rest in the midst of the chaos of non-stop demands. So this is me, still learning, still finding the balance of choosing to rest even when I feel like I have too much on my plate to make that choice. Humans were designed to rest in the midst of hard work. We aren’t machines. Clean living is about finding this life giving balance between what the world screams at us and what our body, mind and soul tell us. Spend more time tuning into the latter versus the former. How do you rest in the midst of the chaos of life?

I would have hugged her tight. I would have told her again how proud I was of her. I would have told her again that I was there for her no matter what. I would have told her not to take that job. The list goes on. The would haves take my breath away. Her absence has made a lot of things very messy. Grief has a way of unhinging and peeling back layers on things we had no intention of addressing anytime soon. Grief also has a way of making you more alive than ever before. You are forced to face mortality. This in itself creates an intense ripple of energetic clarity. We can’t always do things perfectly all the time. Meaning we will never show up for our people in the exact way we want to. We also can’t live in constant fear of losing someone we love. Instead GRACE. Grace for ourselves. Grace for our loved ones. Reminders to always try to be a better version of ourselves than we were the day before. In my grief journey, this truth reminds me that I’m going to mess up more than I get right and that’s okay. The most important thing is that I don’t become apathetic about life because I’m afraid of the pain that comes when you love big and large and all consuming. So remember grace. #siblingloss #suicideawareness #sisterlove💕 #cleanlivingmama #mentalhealthawareness #givegrace #lovewell #birthdayswithoutyou

In the landscape of today’s world filled with endless amounts of information, it gets really challenging to not jump to conclusions - aka: the Francis Scott Key Bridge accident today😢💔- and to believe that there is evil and planned out intent behind every “accident” or “disaster”. Sometimes bad stuff just happens and there is no “they” pulling puppet strings. Sometimes bad stuff happens because it IS being orchestrated by people with evil intent in positions of power. But if we ONLY focus on the evil, that’s ALL we will see. 2020 taught me a lot - and believe me my eyes are even more wide open than they ever were before, but also 2020 taught me that as a human I only have so much capacity to process what’s going on around me and I now choose daily to try my best to look for the good in the situations and people around me. Because EVIL is here, but so is GOOD. So I’d rather surrounded myself with the goodness of living life on this planet than living in fear over things I have no control over. As a believer I feel called to be informed & to continually equip myself so I can love and serve well. I am not called to be paralyzed and riddled with anxiety. Focusing on the bad will prevent me from reaching out, loving life and the people around me. Our thoughts create health or sickness. Part of clean living is choosing to create more health and less sickness for our own lives. This means taking radical ownership of our thoughts, what we consume and what we support. #cleanlivingmama #frontporch #sunshinegirl #worldevents #cleanbecky #glowingskincare #perspectives #hanlonsrazor #cleanbeautyproducts
