Basic, Never Boring
Heather is the name, wanderlust is the game. She’s a mother of four and wife to a retired Law Enforcement Officer. Heather is a hard-core Momma Bear to her 2 tiny humans on the Autism Spectrum. When she’s not advocating for her little people or working with her preschoolers, you can find her cooking up a storm in her southern kitchen, reading a good book, planning the next trip to a new destination, or engrossed in a Hallmark Christmas movie.
When I say AUGUST many parents immediately think of Back-To-School or the end of summer heat. But something else that they should also be thinking is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month. Depending on the state or country that you live, a comprehensive eye exam may be required before a child can enter elementary or…
So I used to be that mother that was 100% OCD about my house being spotless. Everything has its place and everything was in its place. I refused to let things like Play-Doh in my home and the sight of messy crafts made my skin crawl. I completely blame myself for my, now, high school…
Let me let you in on a dirty little secret that I’ve been keeping. I hate to admit it, but I bought an air fryer nine months ago and it has yet to see the outside of its box. I know, I know. Why purchase something if you aren’t going to use it. Well, the…
Another vacation… What was I thinking? Well, I went and did it. Something that I am sure many of us do all too often. What is this “it” you may ask? I had expectations for a family trip. I mean seriously, WHAT WAS I THINKING? After each vacation I always tell myself that I am…
Indulging the Sweet Tooth With National Fudge Day (June 16th) approaching, I felt the best way to prepare was to share a few favorite recipes while also highlighting some of the highest rated Fudge Shops in the Continental US. Now to some, this may seem excessive. What do I have to say about that? Simply…
Being raised by a “fly by the seat of your pants” mother is not nearly as fun as it may sound. Family trips growing up always ended up feeling chaotic and inadequately planned. Now, my father was a bit more of a planner, but there’s only so much he could do when he was also…
The Moment You’ve Been Waiting For So there it is, the moment you thought you’d been waiting for, looking forward to, working so hard to achieve. And then when it finally arrives all you can think is: “Is it really already time?” By now you may be wondering just what I’m talking about. One of…
What we’re reading… The Spirit Almanac by Emma Loewe and Lindsay Kellner This book is so super cool and beautiful! When I ordered it, I doubted I’d really be into it, but it was the May book club pick in the Simple Ayurveda Community, so I gave it a go. I’m beyond impressed. It is…
My Inspiration Ruby “Evelyn” Burnette was born one of 11 children on May 8, 1930. She married the love of her life on December 24, 1948. During the next 12 years, she and her husband, Clifford Wade, welcomed three beautiful boys. You may be asking why am I rambling on about some old lady. Well…
What we’re reading… Amateur Hour by Kimberly Harrington. This is the perfect Mother’s Day gift for your mom, daughter, friend, or for yourself. Just like parenting, it combines the humor with the hurt. It made our Mom’s Summer Reading list, last year. I recently gifted this to a friend and she’s already given it her…
