Avocado Tarragon Deviled Eggs of Our Weekly Family Meal Plan from Danielle Walker’s Celebrations
There was so much delicious comfort food in this week’s meal plan, courtesy of Danielle from Against all Grain and her new book, Celebrations! We loved that the recipes in this book felt completely special- and good enough to make…
We’ve been cooking out of The Paleo Kids Cookbook for two weeks now- and we love it! This book has a special place in our hearts for two reasons: 1. it is written by one of our very good…
It’s the little things… we are sooo incredibly happy to be back meal planning again, because it means that life has settled down and is back to normal (well, as normal as it can be with three boys!). With our…
This week’s menu, although a little short (because vacation, woohoo!), is made entirely with recipes from the web! And most of them are cooked in our favorite pan: cast iron. We love using our cast iron pan– not only does it…

![[sound on if you like joy] reminder: if a positive mindset (and epic 80’s playlist) can make a car ride to Costco this fun, you too can turn a frown upside down!

Today I realized how positively I’m thinking and feeling lately. It wasn’t easy or quick, but with consistency I found myself just living a life full of laughter and love. It has been a journey, through the darkness of grief and depression, it was so very difficult to want to pull myself out. But accepting where I was and what I was feeling, then acknowledging what I wanted and going through the motions to achieve that made a significant difference over time. And of course lifestyle changes that focus on health like sleep, less stress, and red light therapy.

Today I had an awesome time at Costco with kids *gasp* and even made silly fun with the misery of back to school shopping yesterday! Things that I could have complained about were wonderful.
.
And today I tried on a bunch of clothes, and it also was fun! What an incredible feeling, to enjoy the act without the emotional baggage of shame or guilt or needing to tell myself not all clothes fit all people. I cannot explain the peace I feel, living the skin I’m in. And it just happened with self belief!

Today I believe in you, that you can find the joy these boys have; I want this for you! #findingjoy #journey #singalong #livelaughlove #lovelife #ibelieveinyou](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/a802f7dcd65117837d88987aa78c5be7/5D64506B/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/66767716_2319296674988600_2081185318927452791_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com "[sound on if you like joy] reminder: if a positive mindset (and epic 80’s playlist) can make a car ride to Costco this fun, you too can turn a frown upside down!
