There is nothing “girly” about this cocktail. Also, there is nothing wrong with mixing whiskey in a cocktail. Now that we’ve got those two things out the way, please know that I don’t drink whiskey. You know I love wine. However, my husband has a hefty collection of bourbon and I’ve really wanted to know […]
This year, I did something I’ve been wanting to do, and even tried to do once before. I hired a local photographer, Stacie, for pre-planned photoshoots. The very first photoshoot was for branding purposes (more on branding in another post). Basically, I need ongoing pictures for my website, social media, and print material. It was […]
Smoothies are an easy way to get a ton of nutrition into your body. You can enjoy a smoothie for breakfast, a pre or post-workout snack, or as a meal replacement.

The original paste method […]

Winter is almost here and that means it’s time for all the comfort food. Even though I’ve been focused on a “healthier” nutrition journey, I still love comfort food. Pasta, potatoes, rice, cheese, and even soups are some of the things I think of for “comfort” food. What’s your favorite winter comfort food? Let me […]

During this time of year, it’s so much fun to bake with the kids. It’s truly a family affair and it just warms my heart to make these memories with my kids. My daughter, who is the oldest out of my kids, takes the lead with baking and that’s a huge help to me. My […]
