Hey guys! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a fantastic Thanksgiving spent with Kevin’s family in Eastern Oregon and Idaho. Kev has a huge family, so we had our Thanksgiving dinner over at their church, in the gym. It worked out great. I didn’t take too many pictures because I was too busy chatting with the fam and enjoying all the yummy food! I did manage to take a selfie at our table though. 😉 Everything tasted soooo good to me! Isn’t Thanksgiving dinner the best? I totally pigged out and loved every bite! I can’t Continue Reading…
I Am So Thankful
Hey everyone! I’m so happy Thanksgiving is tomorrow. I love this time of year! I know a lot of folks are “anti Christmas until after Thanksgiving” people, but I think all of the Christmas hype adds to the Thanksgiving fun! IMO, The Holiday Season begins the day after Halloween and Thanksgiving is ONE of those Holidays that make the season so great! Kev is one of those “Thanksgiving Purists” who thinks we should give Thanksgiving the respect it deserves by NOT starting the Christmas celebrations until after Thanksgiving is over. Well, to that I say….”Pfffft, let’s get this party started!” Continue Reading…
Crazy Life with a Baby + Staying Motivated to be Healthy
Well folks, it’s pretty much next to impossible for me to get anything done that requires concentration, focus and actual mental abilities these days! Ha. Hence, the blog is suffering. 😉 My sweet, sweet little baby is such a good natured darling little boy, but he is BUSY!!! He is seriously into everything. For example… Exhibit A: This is how I get the dishes done these days! I load up the dishwasher with dirty dishes….and he pulls them out, still dirty, just as fast as I can put them in! Ha ha. Exhibit B: Baby recently discovered the “snack cupboard!” Continue Reading…
A Wonderful Halloween Weekend + Keeping Healthy Living Simple
Oh wow, I seriously can’t believe I’ve let this much time go without updating my blog! Gah. In my defense, life was insanely insane last week…Kev was out of town for three days (I hate that!), we had Halloween and all the stuff that accompanies Halloween, and I was running the kids all over heck and back. It was crazy. The problem with not blogging for a while is that now I have a zillion things to say! I will do my best to not be long winded. Ha. *************** My cute daughter got her braces off last week. After Continue Reading…
Fun Times with Family and Friends + Learning a Little about Macros
First off, I just want to say I LOVE YOU ALL! I SO appreciate the sweet comments you guys leave on my blog, my Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram and/or email. It really means a lot to me. One of my very favorite things about being a blogger is being able to connect with so many amazing people all over the world. I know my life is an open book, I certainly wear my heart on my sleeve, I babble a little lot too much, and probably overshare in every single post! But, it’s always so nice to hear from readers/friends/wonderful Continue Reading…
Thoughts About my Ultimate Oxygen Challenge + Making Changes in my Life
Well guys, my Ultimate Oxygen Challenge ended a few days ago. I loved it SO MUCH, am so glad I did it, but as you know (if you’ve been reading my blog) I struggled quite a bit at the end. But, I don’t feel bad about it at all! I don’t regret one second. I really learned so much and I feel like I did as well as I could considering the circumstances in my life right now. I’ll talk about that more in a sec… Over the past three months, I’ve been a part of a very motivational Ultimate Continue Reading…
