Good Monday morning to all of you! I hope you had a fabulous weekend and that you’re ready to attack this wonderful Thanksgiving week with enthusiasm!

So it’s been three weeks now that I’ve been consistently working out and eating healthy and I have to say that I’m definitely more consistently happy also! The exercise really helps to reground me and gives me a stress outlet so that it doesn’t…

It’s Friday!! Hallelujah!! Roarke has been working late most nights this week and you’d better believe that means I’ve had a looooong week with the kiddos and I’m ready for a break!

This morning I needed all the coffee! And it’s so much better in my reindeer mug! It’s almost thanksgiving, time for Christmas stuff!!

B just got this shirt and loved the fact that it had the big pocket in front for…

Paleo Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Cauliflower Mashed “Potatoes”

So last night’s dinner was totally bomb! I really don’t think I can profess my love for the Paleo diet much more! The food I prepare is fantastic and so good for you too! Just knowing that we are putting real quality food into our bodies and not crap makes us feel so much better! But the Paleo diet actually makes you feel better physically too! We both have more energy and generally just have a…

As the days get shorter and colder, you want to snuggle up by the fire with a toasty beverage, I know I do! Here’s a way to enjoy the sweet things in life without having to sacrifice healthy eating.

Paleo Hot Chocolate

Ingredients 2 tablespoons coconut sugar 2 teaspoons cocoa powder Dash of sea salt 1 cup almond milk

Directions Combine coconut sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a mug. In a separate…

Hey there hi there! How was your weekend? We got Snow!!! I was so excited! B and I played in it so much! He was having a blast!

And then we came in for some Paleo hot cocoa!

And a tasty steak dinner! Roarke was amazing and manned the grill in the blowing snow and wind. Meal planning has its downfalls I suppose!

And our first fire of the season, yes I already have Christmas lights up, don’t…

…that is the question. I’ve always had a love hate relationship with running. For many, running is the first exercise they choose when first attempting to lose weight because it’s a fairly simple self starter (we already know how to run!) and because it’s known to have fairly quick results. All you need to do to increase your fitness is just slap on your shoes and you’re out the door. That first…

Happy Hump day!! How was your Veterans Day? Ours was petty great! Started the day off with a garage workout which froze my fanny off at first but I was definitely toasty by the time I walked out! This is my first real weighted workout and I wanted to take it easy on myself and not get injured. I will definitely be upping either the weight or the number of rounds next time I do this workout but it…

Hey guys! First thing I want to say is Happy Veterans Day to all those who have and are currently serving in our country’s military, we appreciate your sacrifice.

So last night we had some friends over for dinner. Previously, whenever we’ve had people over we buy normal (crappy) food to eat because thats what everyone else wants and we feel bad trying to force our healthy lifestyle onto others.…

So last week when I started working out again, I recorded my weight. Although I don’t like to rely on the scale as a measure for fitness and overall health, I figured it can’t hurt to have a goal. So now on Mondays I will continue to take my weight and see how it compares to last week. However, even if the scale doesn’t show me what I want to see, I will take the non scale victories into account…

Hey there! Happy Monday to you all! We are on a fabulous four day weekend but I’ll share highlights from the past few days for all you unlucky’s who didn’t get today off, I am sad for you.

I made a super tasty turkey chili Saturday morning for lunch!

We took the kiddos to the playground so B could get out some energy, he got a new toy elephant from target and wouldn’t put it down! It was…

Dinner last night. Paleo zucchini lasagna. Awesome

Followed by Paleo hot chocolate. New winter favorite!

Breakfast. Good old bacon and eggs

Workout for today, done and done!

So happy that it’s fleece PJ weather! They are so cuddly and cute!

Cannot get enough of this song right now! So catchy!

Just in case you find yourself without a cork screw

Love fall cardigan and boot weather!!

Happy…

Good morning! After a very restless night of sleep with little dude I am in dire need of some coffee to make my day happen. So here I sit with my vat about half empty now, feeling slightly less zombie like! Yesterday we went for an awesome walk. There’s a park where we live with a huge playground and a 2 mile walking trail. It’s got some killer hills so carrying a baby and pushing a stroller makes…

Busy week this week!! We had a super busy weekend so the first few days of the week were kind of a recovery time for this exhausted mama. Saturday we went to a birthday party at the lake in the afternoon for a friend’s daughter and B had such a blast swimming! He didn’t want to leave! Then Saturday night we went to another friend’s house for a BBQ where we mingled with lots of friends until…

Holy Moses! 36 weeks!! Only four weeks left to go! Two weeks from Sunday until the baby shower and three weeks from Friday until my mom arrives! So much going on to be super excited about!! Had another doctor’s appointment on Monday and everything is looking good! Baby O is measuring well and my midwife says that my weight gain is right on track and that everything appears to be chugging right…

Whew! Back from vacation and just getting settled back into the normal routine! Definitely didn’t eat paleo while we were at the lake which is totally alright by me but I wanted to get back in the swing of things so this week’s grocery shop was a paleo-friendly one!

35 weeks today!! Only 5 more to go!! Holy moly!! I know that we are prepared enough but for some reason I just don’t feel…
