Friday night is always pizza night at our house. Homemade, frozen, delivery, we eat them all. Last night was homemade and I decided to make my own sauce from tomato’s that we grew in the summer and froze. It was a beautiful little slice of summer. 🌞

Who doesn’t like cute little things?

Micro greens are a fun way to incorporate a lot of nutrition in a tiny cute package. We bought these micro greens at the farmers market, one blend has 6 different types of vegetable micro greens!

Getting the kids involved and eating them has actually been very easy, they seem to enjoy picking and eating these tiny plants. Best part is these micro greens contain polyphenols, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and their nutritional concentration can be up to 9 times that of a full grown plant. They are amazing little nutrition powerhouses!

I’m thinking I’m going to get the micro greens extension for my tower garden so I can just grow my own and have them ready whenever we want. 😁🌱

Have y’all tried micro greens yet?

Hey! If you have a basil plant that is getting leggy and thin this is for you!

Basil thrives under consistent pruning or pinching, which is a benefit to you because you’ll get to eat fresh basil often. For a more bushy, full basil plant you want to pinch off top clusters where there are two baby clusters underneath *see picture 2. By pinching you are letting those receive more sunlight and you are getting two for the pinch of one. 😉 They’ll grow and repeat the process, leaving you with a beautiful full basil plant.

I keep a cup of water on my kitchen counter top that I put my fresh picked basil in so it’s fresh and crisp whenever I’m ready for it. I love it on pizza, we make a sun dried tomato and basil pasta salad, of course there is pesto, there are so many delicious things you can make with it. Just get pinching!

Ahh the transitioning to a fall garden, it’s just beautiful. 🍂 This is one of my favorite times in the garden, summer crops are flourishing and fall crops are starting to grow, everyone is happy for a small amount of time and I’m here for it!

I usually avoid Mums… they make me too sad when they die in the Arkansas heat, but these ones were beckoning me to give them a try on my garden wall. We’ll see how they do this year.

What fall crops are you looking forward to?
Me? I’m ready for spinach, lettuces, kale, cilantro, just to name a few! 😉

So excited to find a hydroponic gardener at the farmers market this morning, we talked micro greens, germination, nutrition, and she helped me fill a spot I had open in my tower. We sampled her micro greens and discovered my daughters love for sunflower sprouts, gonna be adding them to my rotation in the tower. 🌱

I know it’s pumpkin season, but in this house we celebrate that it’s pomegranate season!

Pomegranates are a powerhouse for your immune system, loaded with Vitamin C, K, & E, they have naturally occurring folate 🙌 as well as a whole slew of B vitamins. The seeds inside are absolutely edible and are a great source of fiber. And my most favorite thing… my picky eater LOVES them! Finding foods that her and I can agree on has always been a challenge so pomegranate season is just the best as we fight over who gets to finish the bowl.

Take away… Go buy yourself a pomegranate, wear an apron opening it, then sit and enjoy falls antioxidant loaded treat!

Good news!

I just ran 5 miles 🙌

The good news is that if I can do that, you can do hard things too! What’s stopping you?! No need to be perfect, or the best… just show up for yourself. Do something hard and feel the immense pride in doing it. Fun fact. I hate running… I’m not fast, my form isn’t great, and my face gets beat red, but I’m so glad I did it. I have a loooong way to go before my half marathon, but if I don’t celebrate the little victory’s where is the joy?

It never ceases to amaze me what a few little seeds can become in the right hands.

Today these seeds and my 2nd grader started a new season. I’m so thankful for teachers who cultivate and see the potential, who are patient and attentive, who speak kindness and love over them. Praying that over this year.

It’s funny how similar seeds and young hearts are. I can’t wait to see all of them blossom!

Pictured is gourmet lettuce seeds. I’m planting them indoors so when the heat breaks they are ready to move into the tower garden outside.

Summertime tastes like bruschetta and homemade salsa in this house! Nothing like going to your backyard to find the ingredients you need. ❤️

I look back to my childhood and I lived for being outside and I’m trying to give my kids the same desire. I mean… who wouldn’t want to play here!? It’s still a work in progress, I want to landscape a bit and figure out how to organize it better on the inside but my hubs did an incredible job building it. I’m so thankful to have him, he knows how to take my creative whims and make them a reality.

Farmers market… will travel.

Easy button even on vacation when we are not eating the rainbow every day or let’s be real any day.

Hey! I see you!

I haven’t been on here much the last two weeks and my first instinct is to apologize, to feel inadequate on my social media game, to say I’m not very good at this, blah blah blah.

But then grace. This school year ended and I feel like I unraveled a bit. There has been a lot of hard this past year am I right? Can I get an amen!? And if I’m being honest there is going to be a lot of hard this coming year for our family as well. But then grace.

Grace in the hard, in the inadequacies, in the mess, in the just making it. Grace to do what you can and let go of the rest. Grace to grieve. I’ve needed all of the grace this year. All of it.

I’ve needed ways to work through it all and honestly this account was really born out of that. I love the word jovial it makes me smile, I love sharing things I’m passionate about with you, I love helping and encouraging you. I love being honest with you and hope you can find this as a space to find grace and joy even in the midst of the chaos.

Thanks for being here… I’m not best at it all and that’s ok, but I appreciate you and wanted to say hey, and remind you to give yourself some grace. To find something that brings you joy and helps your mind. My go tos have been gardening and Zumba which I never imagined. Who knew a grown woman could cry so much dancing to hip hop? Lol. Welp it happens ok?!

Anyway… most of you all never made it to the end of this. That’s ok, I love you anyway. Grace.
