What We Ate- 1 Week of Dinner Ideas

What we ate! Had a few request to share the recipes we used and grocery list so here you go!

After talking with friends recently, I was asked about what we ate for dinners over the last week. After talking more, I’ve found people fall into two categories when it comes to cooking dinner. Those who make a list, grocery shop and meal plan…and those who wing it. When I say “wing it”, I mean do their grocery shopping by grabbing a few random ingredients and figure out something to do with…

Dreams Natura- Our COVID Vacay Review

Dreams Natura- Our COVID Vacay Review

I’m sure we’re not the only ones who had to cancel a few trips in 2020 because of COVID. Nedless to say, we were starting to get a little bit of cabin fever. We decided to go ahead and book a vacation in Mexico. Since we are all vaccinated, it seemed like a great time to go. After looking through many resorts in Cancun, we ended up deciding on the Dreams Natura. We spent 7 relaxing days at the…

Workout Wednesday- Dumbbell Shoulder Burner

Workout Wednesday- Dumbbell Shoulder Burner

One of the most challenging things I’ve faced as a new mom is finding the time to workout. I love playing and interacting with Charlee while she’s awake, I feel a little guilty taking time for myself. Since I’ve started back at work full time, I’ve been exhausted and try to rest or nap when she’s napping. So overall, I have minimal time to squeeze in a workout.

And forget goingto the gym. Even…

Breathless Resort Cancun: Just the Vacation we Needed

I’m not gonna lie, this post has been sitting in my drafts for about 6 months now. As it turns out, pregnancy has been a little rough on me and I feel like I’ve been sick for the entire 6 months! I am starting to fell better (finally!) and have been wanting to get back to posting more regularly. With Spring break coming up and a SEVERE need for some warmer weather, I guess I’ve been thinking…

5 Reasons Why I Switched to a Sonic Toothbrush + GIVEAWAY

5 Reasons Why I Switched to a Sonic Toothbrush + GIVEAWAY

I’m not gonna lie, the first thing I notice about someone is their smile. I’m sure I’m not the only one. A smile can tell you so much about a person. Keeping a bright smile is important to me for confidence but also for my health. Did you know that good oral health decreases your risk for heart disease and stroke?

I have used a traditional toothbrush all my life. I guess I really didn’t…

Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Avocado Crema

New recipe just in time for Cinco de Mayo! Instant Pot Chipotle Chicken Tacos with Avocado Crema

It’s true that the way to a woman’s heart is tacos. Quite possibly the way to a man’s heart as well. So let’s “taco” ’bout it! Why do we love tacos so much? They are such a causal and easy thing to make with variations that are endless! You can serve them up as an appetizer or make then front and center as the main attraction. With tacos, there are no rules. And I hate rules!

These…

Last weekend, my family and I decided to take a vacation…a staycation rather, considering we were only going about 25 minutes away from home. The newest and most talked about addition to the ever expanding area surrounding DIA (Denver International Airport) is the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center. Sure, we live just a couple hours from the beautiful, snow covered Rocky Mountains, but…

An Autumn Weekend Getaway: The Sinclair Inn-Jericho, Vermont

Good morning and happy almost Thanksgiving!  Last month we spent a few days in Vermont, where it really felt like fall.  And now it’s hard to believe we are already talking about the holidays.  We had a couple of weeks home before we headed out again but wanted to share our first experience at a bed and breakfast.

It was my first time to Vermont and I have to say I am in love!  The time of the…
