Living a healthy lifestyle and losing weight is TOUGH! But, as we all know it’s very rewarding and SO worth it. However, sometimes I lack motivation and willpower. Sometimes, I just want to throw in the towel, eat all my favorite (sugary, salty, fatty, yummy) foods and sit on my bum and do nothing. 😉 Thankfully, these “throw in the towel” moments don’t seem to last too long. I quickly come back to reality and remember how much I LOVE to live, eat and BE healthy! But, because I know how tough it is to be healthy ALL THE TIME, Continue Reading…
A Fun Anniversary Date
Well, I told y’all our Anniversary was on Monday (August 13th). Fun. First off, my sweet husband (who apparently doesn’t read my blog), got me a very thoughtful gift… The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and the chocolate was absolutely dangerous! I have to say, I freaked out just a little when I saw the chocolate. Oh and just a quick note: Kev really does read my blog….he just happens to know what I LOVE as well! Dang it. I’ve had plenty of “chocolate covered whatevers” from Costco and they are all SO DANG GOOD. In fact, I love them so Continue Reading…
Picnic in the Park + Healthy Food!
Mmmm K, just to let you know, there are currently 14 children in my house (5 are my own) AND I think every single toy in the entire house is OUT! Auuughhh! Man. I love all my kid’s friends and I’m glad they all like to hang out here, but I’m feelin’ a little CrAzY! Soooo, if I start talking gibberish or don’t make any sense, you will understand. It’s a wee bit tough to concentrate right now. 😉 Alrighty then. I’m sorry I’ve been a lame blogger. I’ve been busy enjoying the last little bit of summer with the Continue Reading…
Jamie Eason’s Chocolate Protein Bars
First off, I love these protein bars! They are yummy, homemade, chocolatey goodness. I made them a couple weeks ago, and they smelled so good while they were baking! In fact, each of my 3 big kids wandered into the kitchen at separate times and asked what the yummy smell was. When I told them Chocolate Protein Bars, they weren’t as excited. It just makes more for me, I guess! 😉 Secondly, I really like Jamie Eason. She is gorgeous, super fit, spiritual and seems really down to earth. I will warn you though, she’s a little lottle scantily clad Continue Reading…
Happy Anniversary + I Really Need a Kick in the Pants
First off, today is our 16th anniversary!! HOLY COW, time flies. I still feel like I’m 16 years old, so I’m not quite sure how we’ve been married 16 years! Kev literally robbed the cradle, I guess. 😉 For your amusement, I thought I would post a few pics (FYI, I paid for the copyright)… Here’s one of our engagement pics, And here’s one from our wedding day, Sadly, I don’t love our wedding pics. The photographer did a great job, but I’m just not diggin’ my dress, hair or poofy baby face. Oh well, I’m still fiercely in love Continue Reading…
Girls Camp and Chicken Fat!
Hey Y’all! I just got back from Girls Camp for our church! It’s a fun week long camp for all the girls ages 12-18. I was able to go up as a leader to help out. I only went up for a couple days, but it was a really good break for me. I enjoyed being up in the mountains, spending time with awesome people, eating food I didn’t have to cook and getting my spiritual batteries recharged. Awesome. 😉 Before I left, I decided to pack a little lunchbox full of healthy snacks because I didn’t quite know what Continue Reading…
