I never think about making banana bread until we have black bananas sitting in the fruit bowl. I don’t know why? It’s so good, we eat it for breakfast and it’s takes no time to whip up! I like to add some protein to mine so I know my kids are starting the day off right. Check it out on my blog ✨

If you follow my blog you know that we stopped buying presents last year and started a new tradition. We go on family vacations instead! Last year we found ourselves at Disneyland and Universal Studios in California. Last night I had to fix my daughters hair and make up to look like a Who for a school musical. So it just seemed fitting to share this over on the blog 😂 Swipe to see her hair and makeup....

This time of year makes me want all the soups and warm comfort foods! Growing up in the south gumbo was a staple in our home. It is so good and normally feeds our family for 3 days. It’s perfect for those chilly days 👌🏻 I posted my recipe on the blog today... head over and check it out...

Product Spotlight ✨✨✨
The Rejuvabeads, the split end mender, is a treatment for split ends. I personally use this treatment for my own hair. My hair was very dry and brittle before Monat and the Rejuvabead's have completely healed my split ends. I often say that this product is like a Unicorn kissed my hair. It is really that magical. I use it with my Rejuveniqe oil treatments as well just for added smoothness. Both of them combined really has helped my hair repair process. If you are battling split ends, this is a great product to add to your oil treatments and also apply to towel dried hair after a wash.

Hey!! It’s me Erica. I am the boss lady who runs the @simplelifestyleblog ❤️ I am a mom of three kiddos ranging from 9-19. I met the love of my life when I was just 13 years old and married him at the age of 17 still in high school. I am a blogger, photographer and shampoo dealer. My favorite hobbies include hiking and traveling just to name a few. Growing up was crazy and maybe I will write a book about it someday. I enjoy writing, arts, photography and decorating our home. I started a blog to share some of my life experiences, my creative side, my travels, things I love and to inspire others. I hope to build this blog into a place where people love to come and hang out for a while ❤️ Well thats just a little bit about me for now...

We hiked the Wave Cave yesterday and it was really cool! It was a bit of a climb and a little challenging with an incline. It came with great views and a surprise at the end. I will be going back with the kids (teens). It was a great way to clear our minds before my mother in laws funeral this weekend. Hiking is good for the soul ❤️

This time of year has a certain vibe. I love the way it just kinda “feels” like the end of the year. New goals and new traditions are making way. This is the time to sit down and really think about what you want out of life. A time to re-evaluate what worked this year and what you need to change going forward. I have a BIG LIST of changes for next year! They are super exciting and some are so big it will change my life entirely. I love change because it means progress and new adventures. Next year is going to be the year of change! I am preparing a whole blog post about it but it’s still in the works. It will be ready in early December, until then what is your plans or goals for next year??? I want to know!!!

It’s been a tough week. I am so thankful for my husband. His mother, my mother in law, passed away on Monday. I keep thinking about last week and how much I needed that time alone with my husband. I needed that trip to clear my head before this week started. I remember telling my husband most days it feels like I am just holding my breathe. When it’s just me and him I feel so relaxed in a completely different world. A place where anything is possible and nothing can get in the way of my dreams. This week has been a fog, a blur. Im just waiting for it to pass so I can get back to a clear mind. To pick up the pieces and start a new chapter. I am thankful for the family that’s in my life. My mother in law was a wonderful grandmother. She will be missed ❤️

This is so, so true!!! 🙌🏻 If you want something bad enough you will find a way. If not, you will find excuses!! You have to be present and show up or it just won’t work. It does take actual “work” but it’s so worth it in the end. To be able to spend more time with my family is always my end goal pushing me and driving me towards success ❤️❤️❤️
