Growing up, my family always ate dinner together at the dinner table. Every single night. Whether you were eating or not, you had to be there! One of the meals I remember having most often is spaghetti because it was my mom’s favorite. Now that I’m the mom, I don’t really know if it was […]
Add Some Sweetness to Your Holiday Traditions!
This year I am so excited for the holidays! My daughter will be 18 months old this year and she is already so excited about the tree in our living room and all of the Christmas lights. And don’t even start singing “Jingle Bells” because you will have to sing it at least 10 times […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Squares
This recipe is one of my all time favorite simple sweet treats. Although, of course, I am a fan of anything that has both chocolate and peanut butter! My weakness.

21 Day Fix Week 1 Dinner Ideas
Last week was our first week of the 21 Day Fix. On Friday I posted this picture of all our healthy dinners from the week to Facebook and Instagram because I was just so proud we cooked such healthy dinners all week – even Friday night, which is our weakness. It was also quite an […]
10 Ways to Shop on a Budget
Last week we decided that we needed to kick up our healthy lifestyle change a few notches. We were doing okay (food-wise, not exercise-wise) – much better than we were at the end of 2015, but along comes the weekend and Friday night pizza and then it’s a downward spiral from there for the next two […]
Breakfast for Champions
This morning I am feeling super accomplished because before the baby has even gotten up for the day I made breakfast burritos to put in the freezer for a quick breakfast! And on top of that I even ate breakfast myself. With Stan. At the table. Whaaat!? Honestly, this is one of only a few […]
Lifestyle Change Ahead
This past weekend my husband and I decided it was time for some change. I’m not going to call it a diet because I HATE the word diet when used that way. If you eat food you’re on a diet, whether it be a fast food diet or a trendy paleo diet…it’s a diet. I […]
