Good Friday.

His sacrifice
for our ultimate good.
He loves us that much.

Let’s live like it.

We had a little leftover homemade Thousand Island from our annual Reuben party so we picked up some In-N-Out and did a side by side comparison to the famed “spread” and, though I’ve been so glad to see In-N-Out make some more moves to being a LITTLE less toxic, there’s truly no comparison to the real stuff. Homemade is champion.

• ½ cup avocado oil mayo or homemade
• 2–3 tbsp ketchup (no HFCS)
• 2 tbsp very finely chopped pickles or clean relish
• 1–2 tsp pickle juice
• ½ tsp white or apple cider vinegar
• ½ tsp coconut sugar or maple syrup
• ¼ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp garlic powder
• Pinch paprika
• Salt + pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Mix everything together until smooth.
2. Taste and adjust:
• s&p to taste
• more pickle juice for tang
• more ketchup for that classic “fast food” flavor
3. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor 🤌🏼

Even better day 2. Keeps in fridge for up to about a week.

How is it already Easter in 8 days?! HOW? I do not know but here are some of my favorite Easter ideas for the ALLT Easter basket and for any time. I hope it’s helpful!

Swipe for finds for toddlers, littles, bigs, and older kids, plus books and treats. That little house basket plus bunny family has been a gift we’ve give to a couple little ones with birthdays recently and it’s such a cute combo!!!

Because stress and fear can also be toxic and contribute to the burden, you and I are going to always approach this in a reasonable and sustainable way, okie doke? This isn’t a diet or trend or fad. This is stewardship.

We do not silence or shush symptoms. We don’t ignore them either. We allow our God-given signals to get our attention and we respond appropriately.

We do not make our bodies or our health an idol.

We don’t go overboard and burden our minds, finances, relationships, or nervous systems.

We make small, sustainable swaps and choices over time.

We are A Little Less Toxic 🤍

Singed my hair a little there around the 30 second mark 😅but it was worth it.

You have sold out of the beloved Honey Lemonade candle I got to create with them multiple times! They poured a whole LOT last year and they still sold out twice. We’ve had to wait for many months for this comeback we’ve all been waiting for. I hoarded my last little bit but now it’s so ON. 🕯️ 🕯️🕯️

And THIS TIME?! She’s certified too. Nothing has changed in your beloved formulation. Just like all candles, she’s made with only the best of the best. The difference is that now, Honey Lemonade
is part of a rare few candles in existence to be certified as non-toxic and free from over 15,000 chemicals! Isn’t she lovely??

Comment CANDLE for the link and discount code to be sent to your inbox.

Please know you can also always find my links in my bio and in my website so you don’t have to engage the robots if you prefer.

This doesn’t include the before-bed routine… floss, brush, wash face, moisturize, get the kids water … again, and solve all their life’s biggest problems a few times before I ever make it to my bedroom.

ATTN: Wives- I don’t show up in my bedroom like this, BTDubs. I apply my Frownies and all other very important not-nonsense-nonsense only after any bedroom actives have ceased and it is officially time for sleep. My husband only gets to see me in all this … decor… upon waking, when it all somehow looks even worse 😅 Where he still proceeds to tell me how beautiful I am 🥹 Dude, he’s the best. For real.

This also does not include the morning rhythms that involve taking my temp immediately upon waking (FAM) with a fancy device, peeling off all the layers of sleep and beauty support, and embarking upon a new day with its own rhythms and likely impending chaos.

FB lets me add a link here so here ya go! https://shopmy.us/collections/4393395

Sweet (and beautifying) dreams!

The sushi bowls I make for the kids and me most Mondays was pretty and made me happy, so I took a pic to share. I didn’t get around to it. Then Tuesday rolled along and that lunch (leftover chicken salad turned into a bowl) was pretty too, so I took a pic and then never got around to showing you. Lather, rinse, repeat. So here are my lunches from last week so I still share them with you in case they maybe help in some way. I get tired of making food decisions all day every day for my fam sometimes and get inspired and helped by seeing other peoples meals, so I hope this is helpful for you too!

My focus for meals is Protein + Fiber + Fresh/Colorful. Plus they’ve gotta be delicious and it doesn’t hurt when the dish looks pretty when served. We eat with all our senses, ya know?!

Rough estimates on the protein and fiber content for each:

Sushi Roll in a Bowl
Protein: 35 g
Fiber: 10 g

Sonoma Chicken Salad Bowl
Protein: 29 g
Fiber: 11 g

Chicken Meatballs + Lentil Salad Bowl
Protein: 44 g
Fiber: 22 g

Chicken Meatball Lentil Bowl
Protein: 38 g
Fiber: 21 g

Tuna + Black Bean Bowl
Protein: 39 g
Fiber: 17 g

Grannies had a lot of wisdom we should be applying today. Liquid bluing has been around for a long time for good reason. A $6 bottle lasts me a couple years or more and makes a huge difference in keeping our clothes and linens in good shape for longer.

Have you used bluing yet? For laundry? Hair? Pets? Something else?? I’ve been raving about this stuff since long before I started sharing stuff on the interwebs. It’s so great seeing so many more know about its goodness!

I’ve got all my favorites linked up for you with discounts when I can get them on my website, so make use of that along your ALLT journey as needed. All these tips and a bajillion more are in my first book, A Healthier Home, so make sure you keep that handy!

If you want the robots I’ve enlisted to send you links to the bluing and my favorite detergents to your inbox,
✨ just comment LAUNDRY ✨
and they’ll hopefully obey human orders.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you . . .
your wannabe overlords.

I thought it was time for a refresher on this.

It’s always a good time for a reminder that the government isn’t coming to save you.

I’m not telling you to blindly mistrust every aspect of these agencies or to throw the baby out with the bath water. I’m stating that these entities have broken our trust. Thankfully my trust was never in these agencies. My trust is in the Lord and He’s given me discernment and wisdom and a brain to think critically and to make informed decisions and He has given you one too.

As citizens and consumers, we have the power to make informed decisions for ourselves and for our families to steward our health well. As consumers we also have great power of influence with our dollars where we vote each and every single day with the things that we purchase and the things that we do not purchase and all we choose to invest our time and energy in.

Every single one of these industries is influenced by the power of the dollar. Be wise with yours and use yours for good. For the good of the health and wellness of yourself and your family and for those around you. We get to help shape a better future for all.

Big Government is not our savior. Jesus is. Our hope is in Him. These bodies and the ones we’ve been entrusted to care for require our own personal governance. Do what you can, with what you’re able, and as it makes sense for you. Steward these temporary homes well.
