I ran across this idea somewhere and LOVED the idea! I started the tradition with the door hearts in 2011 when my girls were just 4 and 2 years old. All you need is some construction paper, a heart stencil, a marker, scissors and scotch tape. I picked a different color heart for each child….

Why keep a Food Journal…
Keeping a food journal was not a task I did daily. It was not until September of 2014, that I joined my first Challenge Group on Facebook. I was asked to write down what I ate each day from my coach. We would share our Food Journal each evening as a way of accountability. It…

This is a meal that I threw together one day because it was getting late, I didn’t want a lot of clean up and it was stuff I had on hand. It has now become one of our favorite meals!! Super easy, quick and pretty healthy with all the veggies. If you have a Trader…
Let’s refuse to let distractions be our excuse for 2018!
Let me say it again, “Let’s refuse to let distractions be our excuse.”. That is a pretty powerful sentence. I use the distraction of being a mom of three as why I am late the majority of the time, why I deserve to rest, why I am so unorganized and can’t keep the house clean…
