family,
Let's Talk- Where it all began
Follow us on our Journey to finding Freedom, Wellness, and Abundance in this crazy thing we call Life.

Be prepared for a lot of Sass, many imperfections and several bumps (some funny some not so funny) along the ride. I am learning that perfection is not only overrated but doesn't even exist. (So STOP trying to be perfect) 👈Daily struggle, for real!

So here is a brief history of our family of 5, 6 if you count the dog.🐕 Let’s not even count the fish! My husband and I have been married for 13 years, we both have college degrees, we have 3 children, and we both have well-paying jobs.
I have been fortunate in the fact that since we started our family, I have only worked part-time. With a part-time income, I felt that I needed to help contribute in other ways. So my additional help came in the form of saving us money. I was being frugal/thrifty/cheap whatever you want to call it. I clipped coupons, went to every store that had the sale, had apps that help me save. I was only focused on how much money something would cost me. It didn't matter what we are talking about - shampoo, soaps, cleaners, food - I wanted to get it as cheap as I could. It never occurred to me to think about what was in the products I was buying.

I had this coupon-clipping, money-saving thing going pretty good. And then, 3 years ago, I was introduced to a company through a friend, that changed everything for us. When I say everything, I literally mean everything. Here are just a few things that have changed for us:
  1. Fewer prescription drugs
  2. We are more active
  3. Eat Better quality foods
  4. Avid researcher
  5. We read labels on most products we buy
  6. Closer and a larger circle of friends that is growing by the day.
  7. Happier Relationships!
  8. Clearer Purpose/Minds
One hope I have in sharing our Journey is that it helps you find yourself. Whether that means you seek a healthier lifestyle, change the way you view yourself, choose to be more active, cook more dinners at home, focus on spending quality family time together, or you begin to build your own business. I hope to show you the potential is there and it can be done! There will be funny stories, many quotes, lots of yummy recipes, and our love for the company that gave it all back to us. 

Most of my posts will be short and sweet, I am not into all the fluff. Who am I kidding, I don't have a long enough attention span. 😂😂

I help women overcome their negative mindset and start remembering their light is worth shining! 

Welcome! I'm so glad you found your way here.

 
Hey there! 👋

I'm Michelle — the voice (and occasional chef hat wearer) behind this little corner of the internet where family, fun, and food intersect... just not always in that order. 😄

If you've ever wondered how to slow down long enough to actually taste life (and not just the leftovers on your kid's plate), you're in the right place.

Here's the deal: I'm a busy mom with a heart full of curiosity and a kitchen full of half-used spices. Some days we're chasing sunsets, exploring small towns, and hopping on steam trains. Other days we're elbow-deep in pierogies, trying a new recipe, or laughing over whatever adventure the day throws our way.

I believe the best memories aren't always the expensive vacations or picture-perfect moments. More often than not, they're found around the dinner table, on a spontaneous road trip, or during an afternoon that wasn't planned at all.

What You'll Find Here

🍰 Real-Life Recipes
Simple, family-approved recipes with comforting favorites and fun new twists. Food just tastes better when it's shared—especially with people who understand that dinner time doesn't always go according to plan.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Adventures
Weekend getaways, staycations, hidden gems, and affordable outings that help families spend more time together and make memories that last.

📍 Feel-Good Finds
Local businesses, fun activities, products I genuinely love, and simple ideas that make everyday life a little more enjoyable. Because sometimes the best adventures don't come with a hefty price tag—they just require a little curiosity.

Why This Blog Exists 
I didn't start this blog to make you jump through hoops.

I started it because I was tired of everyone else doing it.

You know the drill. You find a recipe you're excited to make... and before you can even see the ingredients, you've dodged six pop-ups, watched three ads, and learned someone's entire life story.

Or you're told to "Comment COOKIE 🍪 for the recipe!" so a robot can send it to your inbox—and suddenly you're getting emails every day about things you never asked for.

No thanks.

Around here, I respect your time. If you click on a recipe, you'll get the recipe. If I recommend a place to visit, I'll tell you why it's worth the trip. No endless scrolling. No keyword games. No nonsense.

Life is busy enough.

I'm not here to waste your time—I'm here to help you enjoy it.

So if you're looking for recipes without the endless scrolling or pop-ups, family adventures that won't break the bank, honest recommendations, or just a reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things, you've found your people.

Grab a cup of coffee, stay awhile, and make yourself at home.

I'm so glad you're here. ❤️
