Happy Friday one and all!! I love weekends so much. Kev and I are thinkin’ we may go on a short date tonight. Woo hoo. That sounds so so nice! Look at this cutie pie… I took that pic just now. He’s totally sacked out on me while I’m typing. I am LOVING having a baby SO MUCH! He is such a sweetie and he’s starting to get a little chubby! Check out that double chin. Love it. Anyway, I’m still doing pretty good on my healthy diet thingy, but I did have one “small problem” that I’ll talk about Continue Reading…
Seein’ Some Results + I Love Clean Eating!
I hope you are all having a wonderful Monday! I spent my morning playing soccer in the backyard with my 4 year old… He has his first soccer game tonight, so I thought I better teach him a little bit about soccer, lol! We also spent some time playing “Go Spidey” (aka. Go Fish)…. I don’t think the baby’s a fan, lol. I’ve felt so bad for my poor 4 year old the past couple of weeks. All of the big kids have gone back to school and I’ve been so dang exhausted with the baby, so he’s spent entirely Continue Reading…
Obesity Trends + My Seriously Healthy Plan
A couple nights ago, Kev and I were watching the news and they were talking about the latest obesity trends for the United States, which was sobering to say the least. They said that Utah had the 5th lowest obesity rate, but that our state was still climbing at an alarming rate. For Utah, the obesity rate for adults was 24.1% in 2013, but in 2004 it was 19.6% and in 1990 it was only 9%. Frightening! Here’s the map that was shared on the news, Ya know, when I was growing up (in the 80’s and 90’s) I really Continue Reading…
Baby Stuff + Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookie Mug Cake!
I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! My sweet baby Carson will be three weeks old tomorrow. Wow. Time is flyin’! He’s such a cutie patootie and we’re all enjoying him so so much! He’s a lot more alert now and really enjoys looking around, especially at the lights and ceiling fans. 😉 He’s also starting to coo a little bit and it melts my heart! I’ve seen a couple sweet smiles too. I can’t tell if they’re “real” smiles yet, but I’m lovin’ them nonetheless. ********************* I got a darling package in the mail this week that Continue Reading…
The Boppy® Newborn Lounger #newbornlounger
I’ve used a Boppy® Pillow with each of my babies and it’s definitely been one of my favorite baby products, especially as a nursing mother.I really, really, really don’t know what I would do without it!

It IS NOT recommended for sleeping. It has a recessed interior that perfectly fits a baby’s bum and seems very comfortable. The fabric is also very easy to clean and Continue Reading…
Craziness + a Fun “Hike” Around Silver Lake
Well dang it, I’m SO SORRY I haven’t been able to blog as often as I would like to! As you can imagine, my life is a little bit crazy these days. My #1 priority is baby, followed closely by the rest of my kids. Kev falls in there somewhere too. I also have to keep up with the house, eat occasionally, sleep a little bit and breathe. Oh, showering once in a while is important too. Sooooo, blogging has fallen down the list a ways. Sigh. Just to paint a picture, this is how I am blogging today… Yes, Continue Reading…
