Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
(This is a sponsored post by Good Food Made Simple. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.) Being a busy mom, I find it extremely hard to think about healthy eating. It’s always something I have in the back of my mind, but when it comes down to it, convenience often trumps health. I’m sure many of you feel the same way. Of course, I’m a procrastinator, too, so often times,
Sorry for the corny intro, but every time I say Fruit Salad, I now have to say Yummy Yummy. If you’ve ever seen The Wiggles, you’ll understand! If you’ve not ever seen them….well, it’s your lucky day! You can go and watch the Fruit Salad video now. But be forewarned. IT WILL GET STUCK IN YOUR HEAD (as it is in mine right now!). OK……back on track, Sarah. ___________________________________________________ I’ve
April marks the 2nd month that I’ve been actively trying to lose weight on the Shaklee 180 program. It’s definitely been a lot more difficult for me this month. I’ve had so many distractions. I’ve also had way too many opportunities to eat out. I’m not making very wise choices when it comes to food. But, despite all of that, I’m still down a few pounds. It’s definitely not the
My friend Holly loves food and knows how to win friends. She makes the most delicious food around! (No, she doesn’t have a blog of her own, but she needs one!) Each time we get together for a group gathering, she always brings something different. It’s usually something really yummy, but it’s also usually not very good for this girl who is trying to lose weight! (The last thing I
As you know, my daughter has been having issues with migraines. I’m slowly beginning to adjust her diet by giving her foods that are less processed. That’s a hard one though because, she is my one child who like’s the processed foods the most. So….instead of buying the junk, I’m trying to get a little more creative with it. Here’s one snack plate I made for our kids this week.
Water – People who suffer from migraines may be more susceptible to head pain due to dehydration. When you’re dehydrated, you have less blood volume which results in less blood and oxygen flow to the brain and dilated blood vessels.

My 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was 5 years old. Her seizures began as mild facial spasms and worked their way up to the full blown tonic-clonic (aka grand mal) seizures that she would have multiple times a day. It was a stressful life before we found the medication that would control it for us. After a couple months of trying new medications, we finally
I’ve been on a quest to lose weight and to gain health for quite a while. I tend to be the one who jumps on the wagon, only to fall back off again. I should be desiring to get healthy and because I’m doing that, it causes me to lose weight. Instead, it tends to be the other way around. I desire to lose weight and in so doing,
(This post contains affiliate links) Did you know that your fruits and vegetables can harbor dangerous bacteria in them? That doesn’t sound very healthy does it? You just never know who had their hands on that apple at the store. It could’ve been that sweet little toddler with a nasty cough. And, don’t you just hate it when you bring your strawberries home and don’t realize that one strawberry was
As you all know, I’ve been following the Shaklee 180 program to lose some much needed weight! I’ve been doing well on it, but I’ve found that I’m getting bored with my food choices. Don’t get me wrong, I love the simplicity of having a shake and/or a meal replacement bar for two of my meals each day, but my other choices (i.e. snacks and dinner) are the boring
