Happy St. Patty’s Day
Happy St. Patty’s Day! I love St. Patty’s day! Do you wear GREEN? Last year my family and I were in Mexico on Spring Break! Wishing we were there right now but enjoying some time at home with the family. Here’s a new twist on a green smoothie for you, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day. I love a good green smoothie made with fresh greens, and fruit. You really can get creative with your smoothies and add different greens, fruits, and nuts. Just don’t add sugar or overdo it with the fruit. Plus, it’s so pretty and delicious! I’ve also been adding a scoop of collagen powder…

I was feeling it the next day! We tried to save and recycle as much as we could but…

No Grocery Shopping!
No Grocery Shopping! Back in November my husband Ryan and I decided we were spending way too much at the grocery store each week.

It was amazing what we found and honestly we probably didn’t even need to go to Costco to stock up on anything we could survive and thrive on all the food we had! Freezer #1 Upright Freezer:…

Fit Friday- Self Care
Fit Friday- Self Care During this month our I wanted to focus today on Self-Care. I am all about nourishing our minds and bodies from the inside out. What Do We Mean by ‘Self-Care’?Self-care can mean any number of things, but sometimes it can be mistaken for self-indulgence. This is far from the truth: While self-care can definitely feel indulgent, it’s nothing to be ashamed of! In reality, the majority of us take too little time for our own self-care. It doesn’t mean expensive spa days or “me time” at the mall (though it very well may take those forms if it feels right). Rather, self-care is about ensuring that you get all…
