Welcome in, my name is Crystal and I am excited to share blessings in everyday moments. Here you can expect to find Wellness Lifestyle Tips, Healthy Recipes for your family, sneak peek on my Re-Furbishing projects and my newest series on Organic Gardening.

My hope is that you are inspired to live well and experience life’s greatest blessings.

Born and raised a Midwest girl, I married my best friend, Jeff in 2005 and I am pretty sure I won the jackpot. I am bias, I know. Our family is complete with twin girls, Brooke and Bailey who are in 7th grade and a son, Brenton who is in 4th grade. We love being outdoors, swimming, gardening and just being together.

In 2019 our family packed up our life from Racine, Wisconsin and moved to Lawrence, Kansas for warmer summers and a new job for my husband. You can say we are starting our lives over and inviting you in as we adapt to change, make new friends, remodel our home that sits on 6 acres and get ready for one big organic garden.

Thank you for being here and joining us in life's blessings!

I can’t get the basics done….

Something you never hear any business owner say.

They always figure out how to turn the lights on, unlock the doors, order new inventory, say “Hi” to their employees, refill the cash drawer and keep their place clean for their customers. But many of us Moms, myself included, struggle with how to keep up the basics of life; from keeping the house clean, laundry washed, dried, folded and put away, meals prepped and made, clean dishes put away and the list is endless.

So this past week I made the decision to operate our home like a business. This way we can systematically tackle the everyday basics. Now we are opening and closing our home like we would if it was a coffee shop or a container store, (my personal addiction) and we are loving the results.

Tidy up before we turn out the lights = Tidy home when we awake.

How did we do it? I took the members of our family and divided the list of things that need to be done on a daily basis. Each of us have a “opening and closing” to do list. This way everything doesn’t land on me alone.

The feeling of accomplishment at the end of the night is priceless and the mornings are more relaxed and refreshing while I drink my Coffee!

Anyone else need this vibe?
