Five quick and healthy kid approved breakfasts
Morning time before school is hands down the craziest part of my day. I have five kids so there is five times the fun involved. There are lunchboxes to get ready, water bottles to fill up, clothes to get on, hair brushed, teeth brushed, shoes on, ohhh yea and BREAKFAST to make and eat. Shew, I’m tired already! Ha! But seriously, I am sure I am not the only one striving to make things easier in all areas of life. My house tends to thrive better on lose schedules and routines and I am hoping that by sharing more of a peak into our world that you are able to…

My top five store bought snacks that are healthy
We are a family of snackers. At the same time, we are also super ingredient conscious and have looked high and low for snacks that are actually healthy and pass the test.

I actually recently just sold my crock pot because I always forget to turn it on at the beginning of the day and then by the time I remember, there’s not enough time…

What I Eat In Day – Ideas For Healthy + Fresh Options
This post is in partner with Daily Harvest. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. I’ll be honest I’ve been really intimidated to sit down and really write out a play-by-play of the foods that I eat. It’s one of the most frequent questions that I asked and every time I sit down at the computer end up freezing up and not writing the whole thing. At this point in my life, I have decided to eliminate all fast foods, most processed foods, and focus on eating organic and fresh high-quality foods. My tastes do change often but I found I always…
