Right now, while you are reading this I’m at the beach. Thank the good God in heaven above it’s FRIYAY an it’s family vacation time. We’ve totally needed a LONG weekend to rest and recharge.
Yes, there is not really “resting” these days with an all over the place 9 month old but at least we are at the beach with family. 🙂 My big plan this weekend is to leave my phone in the room much of the time. I want to disconnect from email and social as much as possible to feel like I’m on vacation.
This will not be easy but I realize it’s so needed. It’s easy to get burned out working all.the.time when you own your own business. It’s hard to disconnect when keeping the lights on means you need to stay connected and engage on social media.
But health is so important to us and taking breaks throughout the year is needed for balance and to recharge the batteries.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend if you’re at the beach, lake, or in the mountains or having a low key weekend at the Farmer’s Market. We love those types of weekends.
You better believe I’ve already had my fare share of this cheesecake dip because it’s like dabomb dot com and it’s so easy to prepare. Cashews, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cashew milk. Gosh it’s so simple. Dip graham crackers and strawberries into the dip for good measure. Or use your fingers, no one is judging here.
Now you can have your cheesecake and eat it too AND you can feel all healthy about it, go ahead and enjoy this one for breakfast if you wish.

I’d love to see more recipes that are more allergen friendly besides just gluten (nut free, egg free, etc.).
