The more I journey in parenthood the more I understand in small, yet profound ways why Jesus said: “let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Children make the best teachers. #theperezhomestead

What do you do when you have unused ground coffee, brown sugar, coconut oil, and honey lying around? Make a DIY coffee facial + body scrub. I’ve been in need of a good exfoliating product for some time, and have often found the good, natural ones to be out of my preferred price range. Thus, a homemade exfoliating scrub was done (how I haven’t realized this sooner, I do not know 🤷🏻‍♀️). Since becoming a mom I haven’t been great about taking care of my skin (or other things tbh), so now I’m trying to make an effort as a first step to care more for the largest organ of my body, my skin. Also from a sustainability standpoint, this is a great way to use up the ground coffee we wouldn’t have finished otherwise, and for storing are washed out pasta sauce/salsa/pickles/etc. jars... which means no need to purchase new products that use plastic containers or tubes. As a household we are really trying to be more conscious about the waste we generate — from food waste to toys to now, skin care. Baby steps! So far my skin has been responding great to it, and the scrub has been leaving it smooth, moisturized, and soft. Once this batch is used up I’m going to experiment with other ingredients already in our kitchen. ——— What I used: ½ cup of melted coconut oil 🥥 ½ cup of brown sugar ½ cup of ground coffee ☕️ 1 tbsp of honey 🍯 Apply in a circular motion to exfoliate skin. Rinse out thoroughly. Pat dry face. Repeat twice a week. 👊🏽

Earlier this morning my quiet time of prayer ended up occurring as I hung up to dry the kids’ washed clothes. To find glory in the ordinary is so important. Every dish washed, every crumb swept, and every washcloth folded are small, but great opportunities to enter deeply into prayer. It transforms the thought of getting things done just because to, instead, serve God through service to family. Now, if only I remembered that more. . . . #theperezhomestead #habitatandhome #catholichome #theologyofhome #verilymoment #makehomematter #currenthomeview #nestandflourish #nestandthrive #flashesofdelight #chasinglight #seekthesimplicity #theartofslowliving #holdthemoment #sustainableliving #posttheordinary #daysofsmallthings #simpleandstill #liveintentionally #howwedwell
