Alternatively these could be called “Flavor-Punch Burgers” or “All Other Burgers Pale in Comparison Burgers.” I don’t use those terms lightly because ever since my days of Meat Class in college I’ve been hyper aware of how delicious a perfectly salt-seasoned, well-seared piece of beef can be. Bonus points if it’s in burger form with all the fixings and sandwiched between two pieces of perfectly grilled bread. What’s that you say? Back up and talk about Meat ... continue reading...

Hey hey hey, happy Friday! Y'all, the summer is beginning to come to a close and I'm simultaneously so very sad and also very excited. We do really well on a more stringent schedule, and while I love how easy summertime can be - well, we just need a schedule that only the school year can bring. I'm not ready to send my kiddos back yet, though. This time with them has been so sweet! I'm not going to lie, this past week has - for whatever reason - worn me out. Going to bed late, ... continue reading...
Beauty Should Be Good For You
Much of my life has been relatively makeup-free, thanks in large part to sheer laziness and then a strong belief that I don't need to wear makeup to feel beautiful. Of course the minute I was allowed to wear makeup in middle school I used my allowance and immediately started buying up things like pressed powder, concealer, mascara, eyeshadow, white eyeliner and blush. It was all new territory, and I wanted to try it all! I used that stuff for years, but near the end of high school I ... continue reading...
Homemade Almond Butter Cups for One
Another title could be "Delicious Lessons in Chocolate and Imperfection." I've been reading Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis, and y'all? I wanted to hate it. I did. Because I felt like I was seeing it everywhere and women were exclaiming it as life-changing, but so often I fall into the trap of reading something based on reviews like that and it's just meh. Or it's all stories I've heard before, just wordier because they have a word count to hit. Let me just say this: it takes ... continue reading...

Who else was thrown for a loop with the 4th of July smack dab in the middle of the week? I know for me I have been confused as to what day it is, what I should be doing, which businesses are open, and how to basically live life with a holiday in the middle of the week. What do I even do in life anymore? So since we all (or most of us anyway) had a weekend in the middle of the week, what are you doing this actual weekend? Since it's approximately a billion degrees outside you'll likely find me ... continue reading...
Horchata Protein Smoothie
As the summer months arrive, I’ve found that a smoothie a day keeps me sane and satiated; however, mixing it up is really key to not getting bored with my daily eats. An even bigger trick? Is to make it taste like dessert! Horchata is a fabulous drink made from soaked rice, and is often sweetened with honey and spiced with cinnamon and vanilla. Of course there are hundreds of recipes out there, although this one is my favorite, and making it into a smoothie is incredibly simple as well! One ... continue reading...

Aaaaaand we have another week where I got back from being out of town and forgot to post anything on my blog. WHOOPS. I think you guys know by now I'm terrible at coming back from traveling, but if you didn't....now you do! It's particularly hard in the summertime when the kiddos are here all the time too (that's not a complaint, just an observation), mainly because I try not to be on the computer around them very often and I take that very seriously. In other news, Oklahoma was SO ... continue reading...

Friends! I'm keeping it short and sweet because as I write this it's way too late and I need to hit the hay for a long day of fun with my people tomorrow. BUT! I feel like there were some lovely links around the web this week, and I wanted to share them with you! Obviously I hope you do a ton of screen-free time this weekend, but if you're needing it? Check out these lovely links! 10 harmless habits to drop if you want to be successful. Um, I need to basically drop all of them. This is ... continue reading...
Hulk Sauce: Creamy Spinach Pistachio Pesto
THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY PRODUCT FOR KIDS. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. Who here is a condiment lover? (raises hands high and waves them around frantically) I know that I could sometimes just eat a condiment by itself, and I have a little dude who is exactly the same way. If he doesn't have a "dip" with every meal then something's missing and he just can't function! I'll be honest and say that creamy or particularly spicy condiments are usually my favorites - Ranch dressing of ... continue reading...
Making Summer Great Again with Wild River Country
This post is sponsored by Wild River Country. All opinions are my own. It's summer in Arkansas. It's hot. It's muggy. It's varying beautiful shades of green covered with a light mist of actually visible humidity. I love our life here in the Natural State, but if I'm being totally honest the only time I want to be outside of my home in the summer is if I'm immersed in water. Ditto that for my husband and two boys, which means we are always seeking out ways to make that happen. As my ... continue reading...

So here's the deal: as I type this I'm working through some mental stuff about the fact that I really need a rest day from working out today. I've been working hard all week, lifting heavier and doing more than normal, and my body is tired. It needs a rest. But something deep inside - that lie that I can't ever skip a day or it's the end of the world - is still trying to bubble up. It gets frustrating, you know? To have to continually fight myself, to have to always advocate for myself TO ... continue reading...
Grain Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes
More pancakes? YOU BETCHA. Y'all, my family loves pancakes, and honestly it's one of the few ways that I can sneak things like veggies into my picky eater's diet without a power struggle. So while you would think we get tired of varying pancakes with mini chocolate chips in them, you'd be wrong. We don't. The thing that I love about these is that they utilize pumpkin puree, almond butter and almond flour, which means I'm getting veggies and lots of good, healthy fat and fiber in ... continue reading...
