With Fall upon us....these are some of the things our family loves and others just that we are obsessed with at the moment.....Fall brings out all things pumpkin and my kids love it all! But also some other things we love right now from movies to places to go too.

Since going to a dye free, bioengineered free home and trying to eat less of the "junk" we have found these snacks, drinks and all around tasty treats to have less guilt, a healthier gut and try to eliminate the unneccesary ingredients.

Our family is trying to get away from the commercialed foods that the industry has been throwing at us and get more natural ingredients when possible without all the chemicals, hopefully these recommendations we love are some that you would like to try,

As a busy mom, I need fast go-to items for make-up to be fairly quick and easy and still look like I got the sleep that I didn't.

When the kids complain they are bored, these are some items that keep them busy and get their imaginations flowing.

Being a homeschool mom for the 2nd year, I am still learning about all things that are must have items, useful items to make learning fun, and items to keep my organization going and keep me sane. As I build my lists of things, join me to make sure you try all the things that might make your life a little easier too. Homeschooling is by no means easy, but when you find the items your family gets excited about, it becomes enjoyable for everyone.

All the things for a clean home. We are trying to be more conscious of what we put into the air in our home so we have tried finding cleaner, less harmful chemicals in the cleaners we use. These are some of our favorites from cleaning sprays, to laundry favorites and more.

Some of our favorite restaurants, places that are a must see and do and some other fun things if you are visiting or live in Tucson that you have never been too. When we eat out we try to spend local if at all possible and these are some of our repeat places. Living in Tucson, there are so many hidden gems that some people may have never heard of but are a cool place to check out.

Phoenix being the heart of Arizona there is so much to do and see in and around the area. Here are some of our places and things to do that we go to when we visit.

First time chicken mama and loving it. Never thought I would own chickens but they have been a ton of fun to learn about right along side my kids as a homeschool curriculum. After lots of questions with friends who own chickens and lots and lots of research, these are some of our favorite items we have found that our chickens love and are good for them.

Like anyone, we love our pool in the summer and enjoying some good outdoor fun in the fall. Some of our reccommendations for items we enjoy when we are outdoors.

Some kitchen essentials we have found that makes cooking or preparing meals a little easier and less time consuming especially when you have kids and sports and a million things going on. Also, an easy way for the littles to be able to helpout too.

My son wanted to contribute to the list and add his own list of his favorite things. So this list contains items he has chosen himself and narrated himself to add for all the kids who love wrestling, legos, football, hockey and more.

My daughter is a very girlie girl and loves all things Barbie, Baby dolls, dress-up and more. She loves to read and be read to and loves to play games. She had made her list of some of her favorite things.

I always find it hard to get my husband a gift. He either has everything or tells me he needs nothing. So getting creative is usually the way I need to go, to try and get a good gift for him. From his perspective these have been some of the things we have gotten him that he loves. Hope this list helps you find the perfect gift.

I am not by any means an avid reader but these are some of the books that I could not put down, they kept my attention and were a good distraction from the chaos of everyday life. Definitely some good go-to books that I would probably read again and again, because they were such good reads!

I am definitely not the fashionista of any sort. But I know what I like and what my go to comfort is for all times of the year. Comfort is my goal and if there is style with it…BONUS!!!

Having a small business is hard and a ton of work. Finding things to help make things run a little smoother has always been a blessing. These are some of my go-to things to helped to make it all come together.
