What We Ate This Week- 5/2 to 5/6 Recipes and Meal Prep

Happy Mother’s Day mamas! I hope you and your family had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. This was the first weekend where the weather has really cooperated and it was beautiful! It’s finally starting to feel like spring in Colorado! We had the windows open and took a great walk outside. I love that it stays light out so late! Did you try last weeks recipes? What was your favorite? That…

What We Ate This Week

Hi again. I’m here and ready to show you another week of what we ate. I hope last weeks meal ideas and recipes helped all you buys mamas get a handle on the craziness that is dinner time. If you missed last week, here is the post of what we ate last week. I went into much more detail about how I meal plan, find recipes and grocery shop. Remember, this is what’s working for me but may not be the…

What we ate! Had a few request to share the recipes we used and grocery list so here you go!

After talking with friends recently, I was asked about what we ate for dinners over the last week. After talking more, I’ve found people fall into two categories when it comes to cooking dinner. Those who make a list, grocery shop and meal plan…and those who wing it. When I say “wing it”, I mean do their grocery shopping by grabbing a few random ingredients and figure out something to do with…

Dreams Natura- Our COVID Vacay Review

I’m sure we’re not the only ones who had to cancel a few trips in 2020 because of COVID. Nedless to say, we were starting to get a little bit of cabin fever. We decided to go ahead and book a vacation in Mexico. Since we are all vaccinated, it seemed like a great time to go. After looking through many resorts in Cancun, we ended up deciding on the Dreams Natura. We spent 7 relaxing days at the…

Workout Wednesday- Dumbbell Shoulder Burner

One of the most challenging things I’ve faced as a new mom is finding the time to workout. I love playing and interacting with Charlee while she’s awake, I feel a little guilty taking time for myself. Since I’ve started back at work full time, I’ve been exhausted and try to rest or nap when she’s napping. So overall, I have minimal time to squeeze in a workout.

And forget goingto the gym. Even…

I’m not gonna lie, this post has been sitting in my drafts for about 6 months now. As it turns out, pregnancy has been a little rough on me and I feel like I’ve been sick for the entire 6 months! I am starting to fell better (finally!) and have been wanting to get back to posting more regularly. With Spring break coming up and a SEVERE need for some warmer weather, I guess I’ve been thinking…

5 Reasons Why I Switched to a Sonic Toothbrush + GIVEAWAY

I’m not gonna lie, the first thing I notice about someone is their smile. I’m sure I’m not the only one. A smile can tell you so much about a person. Keeping a bright smile is important to me for confidence but also for my health. Did you know that good oral health decreases your risk for heart disease and stroke?

I have used a traditional toothbrush all my life. I guess I really didn’t…

New recipe just in time for Cinco de Mayo! Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Avocado Crema

It’s true that the way to a woman’s heart is tacos. Quite possibly the way to a man’s heart as well. So let’s “taco” ’bout it! Why do we love tacos so much? They are such a causal and easy thing to make with variations that are endless! You can serve them up as an appetizer or make then front and center as the main attraction. With tacos, there are no rules. And I hate rules!

These…

The Gaylord Rockies Resort- Our Denver Staycation

Last weekend, my family and I decided to take a vacation…a staycation rather, considering we were only going about 25 minutes away from home. The newest and most talked about addition to the ever expanding area surrounding DIA (Denver International Airport) is the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center. Sure, we live just a couple hours from the beautiful, snow covered Rocky Mountains, but…

Chocolate Cherry Paleo Truffles just in time for Valentine's Day!

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and you know what that means…chocolate. Well, everyday means chocolate for me, but these Cherry Chocolate Paleo Truffles are different than everyday chocolate. That being said, I could eat them everyday. They’re that special.

They’re special because you don’t have to feel guilty about eating them.  Nope.  These little nuggets of joy are made without…

Smile More, Worry Less with Home Teeth Whitening + Giveaway

The new year gives me a feeling of freshness and energy. It’s like that good feeling you have when you finish a great run. Maybe it’s a little hard to breathe but you feel so good because you did it! The holidays are over and I’ve been thinking about the year to come.

In the past I have made goals such as to make more money or work harder. Those things may be good goals to think about, but the…

An Autumn Weekend Getaway: The Sinclair Inn-Jericho, Vermont

Good morning and happy almost Thanksgiving!  Last month we spent a few days in Vermont, where it really felt like fall.  And now it’s hard to believe we are already talking about the holidays.  We had a couple of weeks home before we headed out again but wanted to share our first experience at a bed and breakfast.

It was my first time to Vermont and I have to say I am in love!  The time of the…
