  • A Little Bit Southern, a Little Bit Hood

    Who likes this random picture of my pretty work of charcuterie in a teacup? Who also heard “cootie” in charcuterie? I’ll never change, I swear. I’ve done this before. I started a blog, immediately wondered if everyone would like it, and then started writing for everyone except myself. I wanted it to be pretty. Relatable….

    Only One True Product for Long Hair

    So, long hair is what you want, eh? Or even just some texture, thickness, shine, or anything? I know. I have been there. I guess I’ll always be there because I’m always growing out my hair, wanting this or that to happen, but I always come back to one thing. I mean, look, there are…

  • Sun, Grass, and Bare Feet: Your Guide to the Good Life

    Sun, Grass, and Bare Feet: Your Guide to the Good Life

    There is something special about stepping outside, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin (even though we are told not to), and letting your bare feet sink into cool grass or soft dirt. It’s simple, free, and often exactly what we need to connect with ourselves, with nature, and, truly, with our inner…

  • Unveiling Your Soul: The Power of Daily Journaling

    Why I Started Journaling (And Why I Think Everyone Should Try It) I’ll be honest—I used to journal a lot. I would get home from my bus ride in high school, which took far too long by the way, run into my room, pull out my journal, and write down my day. I would write…

  • Homemade Dog Food

    Homemade Dog Food

    You might be wondering, why would I spend time making my own dog food when I can simply grab a bag or can from the store? For many pet parents, making homemade dog food is about being more intentional about what goes into their dog’s bowl. Just like we think about the ingredients we feed…

Hello my loves, I'm Taylor.
I'm so happy you're here.
Life takes you for a ride, doesn't it? a little about me. I became a mommy at 18 and now have four beautiful babies. At 22 I lost my spleen which taught me not to take my health—or the little everyday moments—for granted.
That journey sparked a passion for nourishing myself as holistically as possible so, around here, you'll find easy recipes, DIYs, slow motherhood inspiration, beauty and wellness.
The heart behind this blog, though, goes much deeper.
After losing two of my siblings, I felt a desire to create something that would outlive me—a place to capture my thoughts, memories, grief, lessons, and the beautiful, ordinary moments of life. A place my children can always come back to.
The name Layne holds a special place in my heart because it was my sister's name. And my brother Zachary was a force to be reckon with. He loved reminding me that I "needed to get a life," So... here I am. Building one. While smiling at the thought that he'd probably tease me about this blog too.

So welcome to my life.
I'm grateful you're here, and I hope you'll stay awhile.
