A few weeks back my mom asked me to come up with a diet for her.
Diet?! That's a word that I refuse to use.
I don't do diets. I don't believe in diets. I hate diets.
I trust in healthy eating. Portion control. Listening to your body.
Through my journey here, I've come to realize that words like... diet and healthy vary from one person to another, and often with dramatic differences. So, let me tell you what to expect!...
Read MoreI'm honestly... exhausted today as I write this. My little girl was up the most of the night with a cough. I tried everything I knew to do and nothing seemed to soothe or calm it. Finally, sometime in the wee hours of the morning I grabbed her up and brought her in bed to cuddle up with me.

I've been wanting to make a protein shake recipe for a long time now! Pretty much ever since my grandma's visit last year. Plain old vanilla or chocolate protein shake? Psshh... we can do much better than that!
Let's get festive. Let's get creative. Let's get fun...
Read MoreOh, avocados... how I love you.
I went the vast majority of my life, up until a few years ago, absolutely hating avocados and anything to do with them. I think it was that child mentality. It's green and slimy and there for must be gross!
