Let’s try this again...

Do you ever have those moments in life where you think that their has to be more? I do that a lot, I know that I am made for more. One of those things is being an online health and fitness coach. The other thing is something I get pulled to strongly all the time... and that’s this blog. I feel like I should be a blogger. I have fun with it when I am doing it. I love being creative and creating content and connecting with others.

So with all of that word vomit being said, it’s time that i kick start this blog up again! This time *fingers crossed* for good. I’m not sure what my niche will be because I have so many things I want to be able to write about. So the blog will be focused on fitness, affordable fashion, mom life, and some recipes sprinkled in here and there.

I am excited to start this up again and to have a place to express myself. Sometimes writing can be the best kind of therapy when you are having a rough day or even rough week. So here we go! I will be figuring out a content calendar and days of the week I will be posting so stay tuned for that. Thanks for reading and I look forward to sharing more with you all!

FREE 5 Day Water Challenge

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! We relaxed for most of it which was nice because we have been so busy lately.

Did you know that you are supposed to be drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water each day? There are so many benefits to drinking enough water each day. It helps your metabolism, helps your digestive system, keeps your skin fresh, aids in weight loss, keeps your system running, and so much more!

80 Day Obsession: Review and Results

80 Days... 13 Weeks... 3 Months. Seemed like a long time before I started this program. I remember thinking “I don’t know if I can commit to a fitness and nutrition program for 80 Days”. But I decided to give it a try. And I LOVED it!

Easy Banana Cream Pie Recipe

Easy Banana Cream Pie Recipe 

Ever since I can remember I’ve been a fan of banana cream recipes. From pies, to shakes, to dessert bars. My mom used to make banana cream pie’s a lot and they were one of my favorite desserts. 

I love how light the pies are. The flavor of banana is never overwhelming. I don’t know about you but I love banana’s but hate when something has such an overpowering banana flavor. 

This recipe I used for my banana cream pie is very easy and very tasty. My kids and my husband loved it. And my husband is not a big dessert fan and he requested me to make it several times this summer. 

DIY Wooden Pumpkin Sign

Corn and Tomato Dip Recipe

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was relaxing and we stayed home most of the weekend, so that was nice after being so busy lately.

Summer time is known for BBQ and get together's with friends. Along with swimming, fireworks, late nights, and just a good time! We get invited to a lot of parties and get together's throughout the summer and I always like to bring something to pass around or if I'm throwing the party I like to make enough snacks for everyone.

The Jaclyn Hill Palette by Morphe Review

Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you had a great weekend! We didn't do too much this weekend, which was fine with me. My husband worked both days so the boys and I just relaxed, did some cleaning and some playing.

Have you ever had your mind made up on a purchase weeks before it released? Ive done it with several things and the Jaclyn Hill Palette was no exception. I was sold once I heard about it. And wanted it even more once she released a picture of the colors. It looked so pretty and I loved the mix of colors she was incorporating in her palette.

Homemade Slime

My boys and I saw a commercial the other day for making homemade slime using Elmer's Glue. They thought it was so neat and wanted to make it. I decided we would go ahead and give it a try!

Beachbody on Demand Review: How it Works and What you Will Find

Happy Monday! The start of another week. I hope everyone had a great weekend and hopefully you don't have to go back to work until Wednesday and you get an extended holiday weekend! My husband picked up some extra shifts at work so unfortunately he is working today and tomorrow but we didn't really have anything planned anyways.

I'm sure you've heard of Beachbody, unless you live under a rock! Beachbody is a company that sells many different great workout programs along with Shakeology, apparel, performance line (pre workouts, protein shakes, etc.) and they assign you a Beachbody coach. That would be someone like me! I am on a journey to help others feel good about themselves through health and fitness just like it makes me feel great!

21 Day Fix Results

Happy Tuesday! In honor of "Transformation Tuesday", I figured I would share my results from my first round of 21 Day Fix.

I actually finished the program 2 weeks ago and have been meaning to make this post since then. Sorry for the delay but I'm finally getting my butt in gear and starting back up on my blog. And what better way to start than a review of the 21 Day Fix?!

Shakeology Mug Cake

Happy Wednesday! And Happy March 1st! Can you believe it's already March?!? I don't understand where time is going but if it could slow down just a bit that would be great!

 I wanted to share with you a new recipe I tried last night. I have a horrible sweet tooth, and it usually causes me to fail at eating healthy. Once I have one sweet, it turns into 2, then 3, 4,5 ... OK you get the picture. But seriously, I have such a hard time when I am around sweets. Being a mommy of 3 little boys we always have some sort of sweet or snack in the house and sometimes I have no self control and indulge a little too much.

Starting The 21 Day Fix

So here I am, it's supposed to be week 2 of the 21 day fix. I should be starting to get into a routine with the workouts and eating healthier should be getting easier. What's happening instead? I am starting all over with week 1 this week.

I hate to admit defeat, but I messed up my 1st week. I had a rough week personally with sick babies and some personal things and I used it as an excuse to eat horrible. I had fast food, sweets and just didn't eat good at all. I just kept feeling bad for myself and didn't give a crap what I ate. Horrible attitude to have!

Book Review: Shopaholic to the Stars

Hey guys and happy Monday! I hope your weekend was nice and relaxing and your ready to take on the work week once again. Wouldn't it be nice if the weekend was Monday to Friday and the work week was just Saturday and Sunday? Right, like that will ever happen!

I recently finished reading a book this last week and I want to do a book review on it. I used to be a big reader but ever since having kids I kind of stopped reading. I just never really had time for it. When I did have down time I didn't want to spend it on reading. Well, I'm starting to get back into it now that my kids are getting a little bigger and becoming quite independent! This last week I worked at a different location then I normally do and business is slow! So I've had a lot of down time and decided to fill it with reading.
