Hey y’all. I am Stephenie and these beautiful people are my family. They are my reason for, well, everything!
Who am I and why am I blogging…
I was born and raised in the amazing state of North Carolina with the coast on one side and mountains on the other. I lived in Pennsylvania for a few years when I was in law school and that is where I met my husband. We’ve been doing life together for over 20 years. Nearly 7 years ago, we welcomed our first child into the world and that is when I started to see things differently. Before kids, I did not give much thought to the food I ate, the products I used or what I was exposing myself to on a daily basis. After my daughter was born I started to read labels, I stopped using certain products and I became a little more green. It is definitely a journey , not a destination. We do our best to live healthy but we often fall short. I know healthy living has to be a struggle for others too, hopefully it’s not just me! Enter, the blog. I want to share tips, ideas, recipes and helpful products that I have found during the course of my journey. I hope you will join me!
What I do…
Other than my full time job as a wife and mama, I am a certified essential oil coach and a Wellness Educator with doTERRA. Using these amazing essential oils came a few years into my healthy living journey, around the time that my son was 6 months old. They definitely help us support a healthier way of living. I feel super empowered as a wife and mother with these at my fingertips!

Thanks so much for taking time to hang out with me today. I am so excited to share this journey of healthier living with you. I am not a professional writer so I apologize in advance for the imperfection of my writing and disorganization at times. Putting my thoughts and ideas down is totally new to me but something I felt called to do.
If I mention or promote a product please know that I use it myself and believe that you would benefit from it as well. I would never recommend something that I do not use and that I don’t have confidence in.
Please feel free to contact me with questions. And if you have an idea for a blog post, I would love to hear it!
