Follow Me! How often should we clean our fridge? I’m sorry to say we don’t clean ours enough. We try to eat leftovers, but really they get pushed to the back of the fridge and we find them all nasty a couple of weeks later! Well, I’m determined to have a cleaner/more organized fridge. If anything, my kids will be able to find the yogurt and eat that rather than something they shouldn’t eat. When they say they’re hungry, I can...

Follow Me! Handbags are the new jewelry. Women have always loved jewelry, but more and more are investing their money in a nice purse instead. And these days would say they would prefer a nice handbag to a nice pair of earrings. As far as fashion goes, if you are wanting to spend money on something, handbags are the wisest choice. You can carry them for years. Unlike formalwear that you would throw on once or twice, you carry a bag around every single...

Follow Me! Jackson Hole was part of a beautiful vacation we took as a family last summer, which also included Yellowstone and Big Sky Montana. Of the three, Jackson Hole was our favorite and we will most definitely be going back. That’s why we created the hot spots of Jackson Hole. One place you have to experience. We had dinner with some great friends who took this exact vacation the year before. They said it was the best family vacation they...

Follow Me! My husband jokes that we don’t need to detox. Our liver does it. I think he’s right. But, for me it’s more of a reset. It’s a great way to get your body back in balance after a vacation or the holidays. What it does in theory, is that a detox gives your liver a break from filtering out bad foods you’re eating. Then, it works on flushing out your system of toxins in your body. When my husband and I...

Follow Me! Free time. It’s one thing we all crave as busy moms. One way I try to make my life easier is by doing work on the front end, so I can relax on the back end. The beginning of the week is busy for me. Grocery store, workout, cleaning and food prep. I’m pretty much the opposite of a procrastinator. As a result, my Fridays and weekends are more relaxing! This salad is another example of something you can...

Follow Me! Banana kale smoothies have become a staple at our house. Kale has been the it green for the last few years and for good reason. It packs twice the vitamin-C as spinach. The problem? Most people just can’t stomach it. It’s kinda bitter right? The best and easiest way to get our leafy greens is in a smoothie. And we can hide the bitter flavor with other things like bananas. This is my go-to smoothie more than anything else....

Follow Me! So, I’ve gone into the health benefits of apple cider vinegar. 1 tablespoon a day is magic for the body. This salad dressing contains the perfect balance with all the benefits! Apple cider vinegar also helps with belly bloat. Something we all want to get rid of before swimsuit season gets here I don’t know about you, but many times a salad is the perfect lunch. And if you have greens in your fridge, some sort of protein such as...

Follow Me! I got this recipe for gluten free waffles from my wonderful (and extremely fit) sister-in-law. Thanks Bethany! She made these for my niece’s first birthday party and they were a hit! Why is gluten free a thing? At first I was just curious what all the hype was about. So, I tried it. Slowly, I switched the carbs I ate toward less gluten. Then, went totally gluten free for a while. I noticed a lot of less swelling in...
