A Day in the Life… 2019

February 20, 2019 by Rebekah Hoffer 1 Comment

A Day in the Life… 2019

Every year on January 18th I take one picture every hour from the moment I wake up until I go to bed that night. I end up taking pictures of the ordinary – supper prep, cranky kids, trips the library, a cup of coffee, my computer screen. These ordinary pictures are actually quite extraordinary. They are my everyday. They are my here and my now. They are a day in my life. I’ve given myself an amazing gift to be able to look back at a typical day from the past years and see the changes from year to year. The gift of being able to see the extraordinary in my everyday routine because the truth is simple: today’s routine will not be the same … [Read more...]

My Curly Hair Routine

January 14, 2019 by Rebekah Hoffer 3 Comments

My Curly Hair Routine

In the last 7 years, I have transitioned from straightening my hair to leaving my hair naturally curly. It started mostly out of connivence since straightening my hair took so much time. However, as I got better at taking care of my curls and improved my curly hair routine, I started to truly apperciate my natural hair. Slowly I learned what types of products are best for curly hair, and how to make the most out of my curls while cutting down on frizz. I am not an expert, but I have come a long way. My Curly Hair Routine This is the shampoo and conditioner that I use. It is about $10 per bottle. All products will be linked at the end … [Read more...]

Adorable and Affordable Owl Birthday Party

October 18, 2018 by Rebekah Hoffer 2 Comments

Adorable and Affordable Owl Birthday Party

Grace turned 8 last year, and we celebrated with an adorable and affordable owl birthday party. (I am a little behind on sharing our birthday party fun here on the blog.) Birthday parties in our house are always land somewhere in between “Pinterest Perfect” and “Minimalist Fun.” I want our parties to have fun decorations, but I don’t want them to take a lot of time or cost a lot of money. This party definitely took more work than other parties I have put together. There were a few time consuming decorations that I made, but they were not hard to create. They just required some time. Thankfully, the decorations were still very affordable. … [Read more...]

4 Reasons Why I Avoided Essential Oils and What Finally Changed My Mind

This post contains affiliate links. 4 Reasons Why I Avoided Essential Oils 1. The cost - Essential oils are a financial investment. Yes, you may save money in the long run if essential oils keep your family out of the doctor's office and pharmacy. But I couldn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to over $100 for a starter … [Read more...]
