Happy 2018!
We have had a very unusual cold spell here in Texas. NYE was icy and didn’t get above 28, so most people stayed in!
This entire week was super cold, but we finally saw some sun! Winter has some really amazing sunrises though. I snapped this one with my phone the other day, it was so beautiful!
Every year once we get the Christmas tree up, I go into full on cleaning mode! I made batches of all my homemade cleaners this week. Next week, I am sharing a HUGE DIY cleaning guide. I have been working on it for months and can’t wait to share it!!
We had a bunch of freezing drizzle on NYE and it was so cold, all the drizzle froze solid. The field across from my kitchen window had so many icy trees, it was so pretty! I hate the cold, but it can definitely be pretty 🙂
We’ve had a lot of readers wanting a healthy living guide from our website, so I have been working on one for a few months. Tuesday we started our “Chemistry Based Healthy Living Series!” Part One was “How Do I Start Eating Healthier.” It is full of super easy tips and tricks, plus a lot of our links to posts that will help you get healthier the easy way!
More from this series throughout the next few months!
Ruger has only seen snow once in his life, he was about 10 months old when it happened. He LOVED It! But other than that, he hates the cold. He just hibernates all day. I lay out a towel wherever I am working, and he just lays down right next to me. He has to have a towel though or his blanket lol

What a gorgeous sky! In VA temperatures are below 20 degrees! We moved back here for the milder climate! Thank you for a well organized very helpful blog. I really appreciate the care you put into it. And after that wonderful baby comes and takes over your life for awhile, relax. And enjoy that special time. Your brain will function again and your facility with language will return. Prayers for the safe delivery of a healthy little guy.
I am glad it isn’t always this cold! I definitely prefer a milder climate 🙂 Thanks so much!! We are very excited for our little girl to get here soon, it is going by fast!
I’m very excited for your cleaning post. I love all your cleaning stuff and your book! And I have been following your instagram stories, can’t wait for more skincare tips too!
I am excited for next weeks post! We have so many good cleaning tips coming soon 🙂 And I look forward to sharing more skincare secrets too! Have a good weekend!
Happy 1st Friday of 2018! It was so great to hear from you this morning, friend! I absolutely love the gorgeousness captured in these snapshots you shared! What a breathtaking sunrise and the frozen field out your window made for a beautiful view for you! I can relate to Ruger…I’d love to spend the weekend ahead in hibernation! lol. Thanks for hosting such a generous giveaway and for the opportunity to enter today! xo – Brenda // Chatting Over Chocolate
I am totally with Ruger on that too….so much better to hibernate when it’s cold lol. Thanks Brenda! Have a great weekend!
I’m with Ruger and wish I could hibernate from the cold LOL!! Happy Weekend girl! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Oh me too! I hate the bitter cold weather 🙁 Have a great weekend!
Happy Friday and one week into 2018 already! You look beautiful in the IG photo with the pink print T-shirt. Ruger is a cutie. Daisy too has been a snoozer. Our CA weather has been in the 50s and 60s this week, and now raining. Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks Laurie! 🙂 Those pups sure do love to sleep this time of year, but I don’t blame them lol. Hope you have a great weekend!
Aw, poor Ruger! My dog loves her blankets. We keep one on the couch and that’s where she lays most of the time. haha
Ooh that icy tree is BEAUTIFUL.
Ruger definitely loves to be warm lol. It was such a pretty scene with all the frozen trees!
I definitely prefer looking at pictures of cold and icy weather scenes to actually experiencing them! haha!
LOL me too! The cold is just too painful, but sure can be pretty 🙂
