Tax season is here! It's time for W-2s, 1099s, and wayyyy too many receipts. Four years ago, Ryan was laid off on April 7th, a little over a week before taxes were due. I had been making a part-time income from Surviving The Stores at that point but had kept up with nothing. And I mean that. Absolutely nothing. Does anyone find it hard to believe that I was an accounting major in ...
Roasted Brussels Sprouts – this recipe actually makes Brussels Sprouts taste amazing!
I have never been a fan of brussels sprouts. My mom made them every so often growing up and I would obligingly eat them, but I always tried to follow them quickly with something that tasted good. I actually don't think I have *ever* (until recently) made brussels sprouts in my almost 14 years of marriage. Not that I wouldn't eat them at someone else's house if they made them, but I would never ...

I was out yesterday afternoon writing up my homemade cough remedy post and ended up coming home to the picture above. And that was the cleaned-up version!

So I thought I'd share that recipe with y'all here in a post! :) We've all probably heard the advice to ...
Homemade Baking Powder (without any cornstarch!!)
Ryan and I have been grain-free for over a year now and can't even imagine going back to eating grains. We both feel better than we ever have and really don't feel like we're missing out on much at all. I've been concerned about the aluminum in baking powder for years (one of the reasons I like making my own deodorant), so I always would buy the baking powder that said "aluminum-free". Now ...
20 Ways to Use Thieves Oil
Have you heard of "Thieves" oil? I use thieves oil all of the time, so I wanted to share with you several of the ways that it can be used. The name "Thieves oil" comes from the story of the thieves who robbed the victims of the Black Plague back in the 1700s (um, or the 1400s, depending on which story you read). The basic story goes like this... ...a group of thieves during a European ...
