100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 71-77)

I'm gonna go really fast, so hold onto your hats!

#DAY71, my family and I went to the St. Louis Botanical Gardens for their Garden Glow event. It was so fun, cold, but beautiful!

Then #DAY72 I had a girls day with my sister and mom. It was super fun, and it reminded me how much I love them!!! This is done using my dad's old Boeing notebook.... creative, I know.

#DAY73 I found a cute little heart tree on Pinterest! Maybe I'll use this for next year's Christmas card!!

Now for #DAY74 it was New Years Eve and my friend asked me to make a recycle sign for his laundry shoot that he macgyvered.

Then #DAY75 it was New Year's Day and as always, my mom made Hoppin john! Supposedly it is good luck to eat black eyed peas on January 1st. It Was So Yummy!

#Day76 was the day we drove back to Colorado. I know.... I am so creative.

And finally, #DAY77 my husband and I started Whole30 (blog to come). I had sweet potato toast with chicken avocado salad for lunch (Recipe), some tea, and we had chicken and veggie soup for dinner. Can't wait for the tiger blood to hit me.

Whole 30 Gumbo

Ya'll, I need to go to New Orleans right now. If this is healthy gumbo, Oh my goodness!!! I would be in heaven. Anyway, I found this Whole30 recipe of gumbo, I was skeptical, but it was amazing!!!!

Anyway, without further ado, here's how you make the easiest and most delicious weeknight or group party meal ever. Serves: 4 Time: 45 minutes- 1 hour (depends on how fast you cut vegetables) INGREDIENTS: 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Ghee (if you're cool like that) 12 oz Andouille Sausage (hard to find compliant, read your labels) slice into 1/2 inch thick coins 1 Red Bell Pepper (diced) 2 Ribs of Celery (diced) 1 Yellow Onion (diced) 2 Tablespoons Cajun or Creole seasoning (Can adjust if you don't like the spiciness) 1 (14.5 oz) Can Diced Tomatoes (drained) 2/3 Cup of Chicken Stock ( I used bone broth- tasted delicious, but might be be...
