    Our Food and Lifestyle Mantra

    Hello Everyone, I've been blogging now for about 4 years on Life's Little Sweets, and having tried many different recipes and other kinds of content, it seems like I have a feel for what we share the most.

    For those of you who are new to reading the blog, this will give you an idea of what kind of content we share here, what kinds of recipes, and what you can expect to see. 

    It's still general enough so that, we can still explore new areas, try new things, go to new places but all within existing established themes.

    What is a "Mantra" anyway?

    I see a mantra as a purpose, a reason, and/or an affirmation to live by that can be repeated again and again.

    In terms of this blog, it is defining the content that is created and lives here.

    Here is Our Food and Life Style Mantra

    The mantra, in the graphic above, says the following:

    Modern Mom Family Food
    An Omnivore Lovin’ Plant-Based Recipes Too
    We Also Love Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free Lifestyle Recipes
    We are not confined to any one diet or food lifestyle
    We Love Our Instant Pot, Air Fryer, Crockpot
    We are Curious About New-To-Us Ingredients
    We Eat with The Seasons Whenever Possible
    A Sweet Treat Is Awesome
    A Healthier Sweet Treat Is Even More Awesome
    We Are Coffee + Tea Lovers
    We Love Family & Friends
    Mid-Century Modern + Farmhouse Home Decor
    Documenting Our Renovations
    New England + Central New Jersey Life
    Wanderlust + Travel
    We Support Local
    Organic Farms + Farmers Markets
    Sustainable Food
    Favorite Local Eats
    We Love the Outdoors & an Active Lifestyle
    Support Female Owned Businesses

    In addition to the above list, I would add that we like to do fun do-it-yourself projects, kids activities and we have a resourceful, money-saving focus whenever possible without sacrificing quality.
