I've waffled back and forth about sharing this post with you guys, mainly because if I put things out there then there's an expectation of follow through. That's scary because I have some big goals this year (some of which I won't be sharing the details of here) and I need to follow through, but then I have to leave the comfortable behind and actually start going after stuff. So without further ado the word that I settled on as a theme for 2018 is this: GUMPTION. A mix of courage, ... continue reading...

Spoiler alert: this post is full of links that will make you think and rethink and determine things about the products you use every day. I would highly recommend listening to/reading these links (um, duh, that's why they're on the list - ha!) because you guys? I actually care. I care that you know every ingredient that goes onto your body. I care because your health matters. I care because the health of the people YOU care for matters. And I say it all the time - if all you did was read the ... continue reading...
Strawberries & Cream Protein Smoothie (with hidden veggies!)
It's not often that I deviate from a smoothie recipe once I've found one that works for me. For the longest time (and I mean going strong for 3 years) I've been making a chocolate-blueberry-peanut butter smoothie that has been packed with goodness and that I've enjoyed the flavor of immensely. I mean really, who has time and resources and storage space for 5-7 individualized smoothies per week? Not I, y'all. Not I. So now that you know I like to get stuck in my own ruts ... continue reading...

GUYSSSSSSS it is so cold. I just can't believe how cold it is here without any kind of snow or anything...just bitter, screaming cold. And I hate being the one that only talks about the weather, but it's basically running our life right now because there's not a CHANCE I'm getting outside for more than the 5 seconds it takes to walk to the mailbox. Which leads me to another quick topic - I used to handle the cold really well and then all of a sudden this year it feels colder and I ... continue reading...

Could This Be Your Answer for 2018?
If you're anything like me you had an incredible Christmas and are now looking forward to 2018. Maybe you have goals, maybe you don't. Maybe you have dreams, maybe you're scared to have any at all. Whether we are ready or not, 2018 is coming! As you look forward to next year, will you do me a favor? Ask yourself what you really want to accomplish. What do you want to do? What do you feel like 2018 holds for you? While you're doing that, let me tell you where I was this time last ... continue reading...

This week was jam-packed y'all - all the good, hard, fun and ugly was wrapped up in a tidy little package and now it's Friday and I need a drink! Having the boys home with me all day every day has really been mostly fun, although the rainy weather made it a little hard to get them outside at times. We've had to be creative in ways to run the energy out while keeping mommy productive, and it hasn't been perfect but we all fall in bed at night and are thankful for the time together. That's what ... continue reading...

Sugar Free Gluten Free Cream Cheese Ginger Cookies
As we near the beginning of 2018 I am in the process of celebrating the good in 2017 and making bigger goals for the coming year. One of the things that I've been able to celebrate was (and this is in large part to the leadership from my husband) finally losing some weight and start making healthy an actual lifestyle for myself and more for my family. I'm so thankful to be able to look back and see the small victories - scale and otherwise - and know that the hard work and the ... continue reading...
So Your Friend Asked You to Join Their Network Marketing Team: What They’re REALLY Thinking
Long before I ever joined a network marketing company I too was one of the naysayers, rolling her eyes at the requests of friends to join their team. The promises of easy money, great discounts and the promises of working from home all sounded too good to be true, so I brushed them off. Yes, yes - I ignored requests (although I now know they could easily see when I read a message and chose to blow them off. Oops.) - and just never responded. "They're only out to use me," I ... continue reading...

And just like that my baby's first semester of Kindergarten is over. Tomorrow he'll be 18 and I'll be a wretched mess, sobbing into my pillow as he goes off into the big world a grown man. Why didn't anyone tell me that these little motherhood moments would be so hard sometimes? I can't wait to spend 2 weeks with my guys, though, exploring and cooking and making memories. It won't be picture perfect - I can guarantee that - but I don't care. I love their socks off and I can't ... continue reading...

Y'all, it's been a week. Sickness, busyness, overwhelm, and so many sweet memories in the making. I have a weekend of cooking and photography ahead of me, but for now I'll leave you with this ;) ... continue reading...
