You guys know there’s never a dull moment around You guys know there’s never a dull moment around here and I’m always bringing you along the ride for the fun stuff 🤪 This one’s personal. 

Between marriage, motherhood, and life with a very full house, I’ve learned how easy it is to take care of everyone else and quietly forget yourself. Lately, I’ve been making small, intentional choices to change that, and starting a GLP-1 medication is one of them. 

I gave my husband five kids, it’s time to give ME my body back! Like with everything else, I’ll be sharing this journey honestly, gently, and in my own way. I’m excited, a little nervous, and grateful to be in a place where choosing myself feels possible again.

Here’s to choosing ourselves with a little more grace 🤍

Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is Here’s the truth you need to hear: withdrawal is a choice. The most regulated, self-respecting thing you can learn to do when that happens is: 

• stop auditioning for understanding 
• stop overexplaining 
• stop chasing reconciliation
• stop managing other people’s emotions
• stop reopening wounds just to prove you’re “loving” 

Jesus modeled for us that once you’ve shown up honestly, clearly, and with care, the rest isn’t yours to fix.

“For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” — Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭

Unfortunately, most of the time, what usually happens next is people may act like nothing happened, or reach out casually without addressing it, or frame the distance as YOU pulling away.

But let the truth stand on its own. Let your nervous system settle. Go live your life. Because there’s a quiet strength in not chasing, not correcting, not proving. 

Here’s three scriptures that’s encouraged me:

1️⃣ “A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.” — Proverbs 18:2

2️⃣ “If possible, to the best of your ability, live at peace with all people. Don’t try to get revenge for yourselves, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath.” — Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭18-19‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” — Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬ ‭

Bottom line, let people choose you…or not. Happy Monday Yall ❤️

This is your reminder that God is still in control This is your reminder that God is still in control.

Even with everything going on right now in politics. In the news. In the economy. In our neighborhoods. In LIFE.

Here are some scriptures getting me through: 

1️⃣ “Be still, and know that I am God!”
‭‭— Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭‬‬

2️⃣ “Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” — Psalms‬ ‭30‬:‭5‬ ‭

3️⃣ “Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you…” — Psalms‬ ‭55‬:‭22‬ ‭

4️⃣ “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” — Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭

5️⃣ “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” — Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬ ‭‬‬

6️⃣ “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.” — Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

7️⃣ “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” — Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Feel free to take what you need. Happy Wednesday yall ❤️

One-Pan Creamy Sausage And Mushroom Bake

An easy, flavorful one pan meal ready in 25 minutes!

Note: The following content may contain affiliate links. See our full disclosure here.

If you’re new to my blog, then you should probably know that I love throwing together quick meals with shortcut ingredients. 

Most of the dinner ideas I share around here are made with premade sauces, seasoning packets…anything to save extra time in the kitchen because I am a busy mom with a family of six to feed every night. 

My last grocery trip to Walmart, I stumbled upon a jar of DelMonte sliced mushrooms and it inspired me to create the dish I’m excited to share with you today! 

Tonight’s One Pan Creamy Sausage & Mushroom dinner idea is so easy, flavorful, and comes together in about 25 minutes for all you busy mamas. 

Creamy Sausage & Mushroom Bake Ingredients 

My favorite thing about discovering DelMonte’s jar of sliced mushrooms is that they won’t go bad before I have a chance to use them — hallelujah! 

Not to mention, my kids LOVE them! They didn’t even notice these mushrooms were there, hehehe ;). 

Here’s everything you’ll need:

  • 1 lb Italian ground sausage 
  • 1 jar DelMonte sliced mushrooms
  • 1 3/4 cup heavy cream 
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion 
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves minced garlic 
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups rigatoni pasta

How to Make This One Pan Dinner with DelMonte Sliced Mushrooms

Step 1: Brown sausage in an oven-safe pan (I used this cast iron skillet!) while breaking it down with a spatula. Once it’s brown, drain and return to the pan. 

Step 2: Add garlic & onion. Stir until the onions are translucent. In a separate pan, cook pasta according to package.   

Step 3: Add jar of sliced mushrooms, strained, to sausage & onion mixture, and stir occasionally until mushrooms are nice and browned. 

Step 4: Stir in heavy cream and let it come to a boil. Stir occasionally until it thickens up. 

Step 5: Add boiled pasta and mix it together until the pasta is well-coated and your sausage & mushrooms are evenly coated.

Step 6: Top with Parmesan cheese and place into the oven at 350 until the cheese melts. 

Step 7: Garnish with fresh basil. It’ll take this dish to a whole notha’ level, y’all! 

It’s safe to say, I will definitely keep these DelMonte sliced mushrooms stocked up in my pantry to use for omelets, homemade pizza night, and many more meals we love. 

Are you adding this dinner idea to your menu this week? Let me know on Instagram how it turned out! @danielleskeaton

#boundaries #newyear #momlife
I am committed to honoring my capacity this year, I am committed to honoring my capacity this year, even if that means disappointing people.

Here’s everything I’m done doing:

❌ Explaining my decisions to feel understood
❌ Shrinking myself to make others comfortable
❌ Feeling guilty after saying no
❌ Needing to be liked to feel loved
❌ Saying “I’m fine” when I’m actually overwhelmed
❌ Doing things out of obligation vs alignment
❌ Living from pressure instead of peace
❌ Confusing kindness with self-abandonment

If you’re on this journey too, hello and welcome 🫶🏽
