Helping Busy Moms Take Back Their Lives!
Clothes. I love them, but I hate them. It’s always been that way for me. I feel the same way, if not worse, about shoes. Nothing seems to fit quite right. In fact, I have one foot that’s larger than the other one and my feet are wider than the average woman’s feet. It takes me FOREVER to find a pair of shoes that feel good. I have tons
When I last bought my Bountiful Baskets basket, in it I received kale. I’ve often heard of the nutritional benefits of kale, but I don’t usually purchase it at the store. Honestly, I figured I wouldn’t really like it. It just reminds me of the decorative greens that restaurants put on the salad bar or on your plate. I remember whispering as a child, “are we supposed to eat that?”. I
So… I’ve officially been on my new weight loss plan for a little over 4 weeks. It’s been a bittersweet time and has had it’s ups and downs. Literally. Week 1: I lost 5.5 pounds Week 2: Down 4.5 pounds Week 3: Up 2 pounds Week 4: stayed the same. So… I was down a total of 8 pounds, all of which happened in the first 2
It seems like it was just yesterday, but it couldn’t have been, because we only had 3 kids at the time. My husband had quit his job as a wholesale mortgage representative and we had no income. We had recently sold a house, so we had a meager amount from that sale to live off of, but once that was gone, it was GONE. We were living in a
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Hillshire Farm®. The opinions and text are all mine. Have I ever told you how busy I am? Yeah, I thought so. I’m so busy that I only cook one meal a day. I refuse to cook breakfast and I refuse to cook lunch. Why? I really don’t enjoy spending much time in the kitchen. There’s so many better ways
I’ve never actually bought a turkey breast without the rest of the turkey, until I bought this one. I thawed it out and was a little surprised by how small it was. One 2-3 pound turkey breast wasn’t going to be big enough for our big family of 9. Really, I should’ve bought a 5 pound one. I was down to the last minute though for choosing dinner foods, so
We love barbecue in this house. So good! I’ve never tried cooking my pork chops in barbecue sauce, but I had this new sauce that I thought would taste great on it! Let me tell you a little about how I came across this amazing sauce though. I recently noticed that one of my readers was also an owner of a company called Texas in a Bottle. Texas in a Bottle….. That name
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cuties. All opinions are 100% mine. We are a busy family. On a daily basis I find myself as the taxi driver for one of my 7 kids. Not only that, we live 1.5 hours away from a large city, so we often find ourselves in the van for our next shopping trip, doctor’s appointment or cousin birthday
Today is the day that I begin my new health regiment. I hate to call it a diet. It really does have to be a way of life, if it’s ever going to stick. Plus, it’s not all about eating. It’s about exercise and thinking and doing. When I first made the My Weight Loss Success Plan, I knew that I would have to do the whole goal setting
(This post contains affiliate links) I have a confession to make. I absolutely, utterly failed again this past year when trying to lose weight. I lost about 25 pounds from January to April and then I got busy, overwhelmed or ______________ (insert excuse here) and I just quit! I didn’t have a weight loss success plan. I’ve done this so many times through the years! I’m a great
Before we start, many of you have asked me what the best slow cooker you should get is. It varies for every family, but I tell you all about it here: Best Slow Cooker Choices. **This post contains affiliate links** I’ve never actually put broccoli in my eggs, but this recipe calls for it. I was actually VERY impressed with how good it was. I’ve always shied away from broccoli in my eggs, thinking
*This post contains affiliate links* When I first decided to try this Slow Cooker Chicken & Kielbasa Recipe , I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. It sounded like it would be good, but I wasn’t exactly sure if I’d like the combination of kielbasa and chicken. Of course, cream cheese in anything, I usually do like, so I figured I’d most likely be safe. It was worth a shot
