I try really hard not to pick up ‘fast food’ very often, but as a mom of two young children, I have to be honest…there are days when the only way we’re all getting fed is if I grab something quick. Thankfully, for those days, I have Subway. Subway has been my go-to for fast, […]

I think I could probably end this post here, and you’d totally get that it’s been a crazy week. Living in the […]
Ya’ll know I love salad. I eat it almost every day. My kids have grown up eating it since they were old enough to eat salad. In fact, a salad is one of the few veggie-type items that I can count on them eating. It is awesome! Recently, we invited some friends over and all […]

UPDATE — I’d likely to congratulate Adah and Brookefor being the two winners. Congratulations, ladies!! If I could target any one part of my body to tone up overnight, it would definitely be my abs and core. But honestly, I cannot stand resistance work. I don’t do it nearly often enough, and the idea of […]
We’ve all heard it time and time again: Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. In fact, some people say (Hey Ryan!) it’s THE most important meal of the day because, among other things, it stokes and fuels the metabolism for the entire day. This is especially important if one is […]

I remember one time, not so long ago On Twitter, I heard some chatter to and fro About a new snack, someone gave a tip, and they were all loopy about something called popchips. Whatever, I thought, I have a favorite snack. These, popchips or whatever; they sound kind of whack. Nothing can […]

You may or may not know this about me: but I race wearing tutus. Not in triathlons because that would take too long in transition but in road races where there are no costume changes along the way. Yes I love tutus and knee highs and everything that will allow me to have a grand […]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BeeWell for Life. All opinions are 100% mine. In the United States, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the course of their lifetime. My very own maternal grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer in her 40s and luckily, […]
By show of hands, who loves breakfast? (Come on, raise those hands high!) Better yet, who loves waffles? Yeah, I thought so. Me too. In fact, I love waffles way more than I should, so I don’t eat them often. However, when I was contacted by Kellogg’s to give their new Eggo FiberPlus Waffles a […]
