Becoming Healthy
For those of you that are just now following my little space on the internet, I want you to know that this ALL started because I completely changed my life almost a decade ago. Everyone that knew me, saw that in changing to a healthier lifestyle, I lost 60+ pounds and kept it off. Everyone that knew me had LOTS and LOTS of questions… to which I did my best to answer over and over and over again. I have also used my experience to help people as their weight loss consultant by sharing my story with them and by sending tips, healthy recipes, and quick and simple workouts I…

Dieting VS. Lifestyle Changes
Something that I feel compelled to talk about this week is my lifestyle and how it came to be. I’ve talked about this in the past but it was when my blog was new and I had a smaller following.

We’ve been so busy that it never worked out for us to do that until last weekend and ya’ll, it was a blast! I actually gave them a…

Adult Vitamins 101
I don’t know how y’all feel but in our household, adulting is hard! We have so many things to focus on and accomplish every single day, it’s easy to put our health last. Unfortunately, when you do that, you tend to get sickly and with four kids running around that is just not an option for my husband and myself. A lot of the nutrients that your body needs can be found in the form of foods and I strongly urge you to take care of yourself with a well rounded diet. I also know how much of a focus that can be so, I’m sharing our favorite vitamins to…

Look What Grew In Our Garden
I know ya’ll love a garden update and I’m SO excited to share ours with you! As you know, I shared about our raised beds back on May 5th. You can read all about that by clicking here. We have had a raised bed garden for the past 6 years and it has been a huge blessing in our lives. I grew up having a huge garden at my Dad’s farm and to be able to have a similar experience with my own children is really meaningful to me. So far, everything is growing really well! We make sure that it’s watered every day (it’s actually Nolan’s job to do…
