We’ve had some pretty significant events in our house over the last couple of months! We don’t really go crazy over firsts or milestones, but some of them are a little note-worthy this go ’round! The Hubby and I officially launched a local community website complete with community event calendar, business directory, and city resource…
We’ve had a whirlwind of a month in the Johnston household! Between several broken bones, homecoming, church choir, praise team, money management classes, and the pre-teen ministry at church, The Teenager and I have been doing a lot of on-the-go beauty and hair care! Due to lots of medical bills and money saving efforts, we’ve…
Fall JUST hit us this week, East of Houston, and I’m so excited to be able to make delicious comforting soups for my family. What’s even better is that I can make an awesome meal that my whole family will love that takes very little time (and affordable, too!) thanks to Frontier Soups Mixes. What’s…

Doctor Who had 694 episodes from 1963-1989 and since 2005, there…
I have to be honest. A few weeks ago, when I saw the video circulating Facebook of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge prank being played on a 14 year old autistic boy in Bay Village video, I couldn’t watch. Horrible acts like that tear too much at my heartstrings, and it was easier for me…
I love having an overabundance of coconut oil around the house, because we use it for everything. We cook with it, moisturize our skin, use it on cuts and burns, make toothpaste and so much more. It’s a great vitamin rich oil that is good for any occasion. I was excited to find Primal Essence…
Now that school has started back up, we all have a ton of things going on! For us, we have activities six nights out of the week. Between jujitsu and church, the only night we have absolutely free after school is Monday, and that’s usually set aside to get the bulk of homework done for…
It is that time of the year when thin bed sheets get replaced by comforters. With September stepping in, light jackets for windy evenings and a comforter that keeps you warm during the nights is all the ‘comfort’ means. Why not start a new trend this coming winter? How about beginning a better and healthier…

Back to School time is perfect for setting new goals and personal standards for the school year. Sometimes,…
