Friday mornings are my busiest mornings of the wee

Friday mornings are my busiest mornings of the week. I make muffins for Saturday’s breakfast (either corn bread, pumpkin, or banana bread muffins) to have with fruit, a big crockpot dinner for the weekend (beans & rice bowls, lentils and sweet potato stews, or a big veggie and red potato stew) to serve with bread, tortillas, grains, and/or salad depending on the dish, and I’m usually putting orders together to go out for @iamazuha today too. All the while I’m also making other food for the day. 🍂🥧🍁

Friday’s are crazy because of the usual responsibilities, but mainly because I really want to relax a bit over the weekend. Over this past year I’ve worked really hard to create systems to make working from home and being a homemaker easier. Homemaking really is like running a small boutique bed and breakfast hotel. It takes planning ahead, having a solid system, financial planning, commitment, and a lot of love. I’ve been learning to really enjoy this process. Just like everybody else I’ve been baking more this year than ever. Very rewarding. 🍂🥧🍁

Wishing all of you a beautiful and blessed weekend!

We’re MOVING again! With everything going on wi

We could all use an IMMUNE BOOST right now. Here’s a simple juice recipe that I make for just that. I call it SPICY APPLE JUICE and my three (almost four) year old drinks it up no problem! 🍎

I simply juice 2 WHOLE medium/large APPLES (3 small apples pictured) + 3 CLOVES of GARLIC in a slow masticating juicer for one immune boosting serving. Yes I do include the core as it has many health benefits. 🍎

After having my 1st official winter back on the east coast last year, RAW GARLIC was how I made it through without getting sick at all while caring for sick family members. 🍎

Since then I juice garlic in many of my juice recipes or mince up multiple cloves as dinner toppings for chickpea pasta, beans and rice bowls, and stews. What I LOVE most of all is hearing my son say, “More Juice?” Proud Mama!!!! 🍎

I stopped using henna, I tossed my comb and brush, I wear hair buns 95% of the time, and my hair care routine only got simpler with only two “products”. All the details plus why I really cut my hair last spring on the blog. Much love! #minimalistbeauty #curlyhairroutine #naturalhaircare

With limited access to the usual summer activities

With limited access to the usual summer activities it has been a HUGE blessing to spend time in nature. Humidity and all, moving to North Carolina has been awesome in so many ways. Going to the lake has been my son’s favorite thing to do. The ducks are so used to being fed that, although misleading, throwing rocks in the water just brings them closer. Also so you know I just posted an article on how I modified some modest tunics for $1 like the one in the previous picture. The article is linked above. I hope all of you are having a blessed day.

I started dressing modestly out of pure obedience

I started dressing modestly out of pure obedience after being born again September 2017 which I shared in my testimony. Being obedient in itself made this process very challenging because I had let go of what I had learned from society about dress as well as my own opinions without the support of scripture. God’s standards are not our own, and modest dressing separates how you look from the majority.

Today I’m sharing “My What & Why Concerning Modesty“. Why you do something is almost more important than what you are doing. I did my best to share both. I hope that this will be a blessing in some way. The article is linked above.

Lately I’ve been focusing extensively on superfoods and herbs. At least with superfoods and herbs, I feel like I have a better understanding about what I’m actually taking to support good health. There’s a new herb that I’ve been taking and seeing great benefits from called ashwagandha.
🌿
Ashwagandha root is most known for its adaptogenic properties, which means it provides extensive stress support. It also balances and rejuvenates other areas and systems within the body. Read more on Minimalist Beauty. Happy Sunday Beauties!
