[DIY] Linen/Room Spray

Ok, I’ve been having some fun making LOTS and LOTS of home essentials. Everything from Baby Shampoo, deodorant (post coming soon) and even Dry Shampoo (who knew??!).

So as I make them, and they are a success (and EASY – will only share if they are easy, as Mom’s, we have enough to do, to overcommit ourself to new projects), I will be posting and sharing them here!

Here’s how I simply made some Linen/Room Spray – which was prompted by walking into my older kids room (they share) and it smell…

Your Vegan Resources

I know a lot of you have seen me talk about this. Maybe thought about it? Or perhaps laughed at the idea (I mean, who doesn't love CHEESE!!). But why not TRY IT? See what our bodies could feel like removing some very WELL KNOWN sources to varying ailments that maybe we don't even know we have??

We are priming ourselves starting tomorrow (gradually removing meat, cheese & eggs from our diets) for a FULL 14-Day commitment starting Sept 11th.

Here's what I plan to provide those that do it with…

Dare To Go Vegan With Me

I have been thinking about doing this little experiment for quite some time now, but to be perfectly honest - I have been SCARED!

I have been worried that I couldn't commit, so in typical Taryn fashion I dove deep into the knowledge, which is usually what pushes me over the edge and give me the confidence to GET THIS DONE!

I also kept seeing little SIGNS popping up here and there. Vegan recipes, friends transitioning, experts talking about the excessive amount of protein we consume, etc.

Now I …

[RECIPE] - Back To School Porridge

I have to give FULL credit to my beautiful Mom, as we have been working on changing some things in her diet (she has had to remove Gluten from her diet for health reasons - that stuff is a silent assassin!), so we've been researching some hearty and filling breakfast options, that one could made ahead.

Well, she hopped on Pinterest and took a spin to the Refrigerator Oats recipe and we put together this Breakfast porridge! It's SUPER DUPER easy to make and can be made ahead and put in the fridge …

How To Not Lose Your Cool With BACK TO SCHOOL

There is no doubt that back to school time can be the most stressful time of year for us mom's. We had all summer to relax, sleep in, and hang out with the kids. But now, its time to kick it into gear and get back to the real world. Right now I'm meal planning for the week! Who's got theirs done? I will post mine in the comments, but also had to tell you HOW GIDDY I am to kick off this PROJECT MOMLIFE - How To Not Lose Your Cool With Back To School!

Ok, this may be the #1 thing that was a GAME CH…

Kitchen & Ab Makeover

I started my journey in 2008 after my 2nd was born. I was 25 lbs over weight, I couldn't shed the baby weight anymore and was WAY overwhelmed being a Mom of 2 (I have 4 now, but more on that later) AND a newly stay at home Mom.

But being home ALL day with a potty-training Toddler and brand new breastfeeding baby, I allowed the stress to get the better of me. I held onto 25lbs of baby weight, I was moody, not sleeping well and SAD that I didn’t have my career identity anymore. I loved working. It …
