I have been wanting to do a "Friday favorites" post for a while, but haven't had a chance to get a few things together until now. Young Living Lavender Essential Oil - This stuff is amazing! I put one drop every time I get a new bottle of mascara. I love the way it smells, and it also helps my eyelashes look thicker and longer. I also put one drop of lavender oil in my tea during the winter, add a few drops to a bubble bath, and diffuse this oil for relaxation. Lavender oil is known ...

Back to School: Smoothie Recipe
My favorite healthy and easy breakfast is a big green smoothie! The carrots and spinach gives the smoothie a vegetable boost in the morning which I love, the banana and frozen mango give it some sweetness, and the greek yogurt gives it a little protein boost.

If you are giving this smoothie to kids, you can hide the green color by adding some ...
Not so average Turkey “Bergers” ;)
We obviously love Turkey, don't you think? Two of our three food posts (so far) have all been about Turkey! We eat a lot of ground Turkey not only because it is healthier than ground beef, but it is also inexpensive and you can make a lot of things with it. Burgers, tacos, meat to put on nachos, pasta bakes, meatballs for spaghetti, or even for subs, etc. I could go on for days! We have a regular Turkey burger recipe, but I wanted to share with you the recipe we made tonight! We spruced it up a ...
Our Wedding Part 2 – Getting ready!
Warning - Picture overload!!! The morning of our wedding was MUCH better than the day before. The horrible weather cleared up, and the sun even peaked through every so often. It was mainly foggy and really cold, but I didn't care! Most of our guests were able to make it into Atlanta after long (and scary) travel days the night before. That morning, we woke up and went to Starbucks AND Chick Fil A. Woo woo! Everyone needs Starbucks on their wedding day. No joke... Our makeup artist and ...

Turkey Meatloaf is one of my favorite things to make for a few reasons. No, it's not the prettiest meal, or the most desired meal when eating out, but it does have its perks!1. It is SO easy to make.
