Soooo… it’s been a minute since I’ve put fingers to keys and actually wrote a blog post. The end of 2018 was challenging. It was hard. Not to say it was horrible, I don’t want to be overly dramatic, but it was a mix of physical setbacks and holiday obligations, sprinkled with a bit of…
It’s officially back to school time and with that comes school lunches. This year, I have a First grader and a Pre-Kindergartener. I have been packing lunches for 5 years now and I feel like I finally gotten a bit of a groove… I know what they will eat, what they like and what they…
In the South, school starts much earlier then much of the country. It hit me this weekend that we have less than 2 weeks before my oldest goes back! That realization sparked a couple of ideas in my mom brain. First, we needed to clean some stuff out of this house, start the school year…

I can’t take credit for this little gem, but holy cow is this good! Thank you to whichever Burn Bootcamp sister reposted this as it’s now a staple in our household. SUPER easy to prep for as well on those nights you need something fast! Meal Prep Hacks: Brown meat ahead of time…
We all have heard our trainers and those really fit ladies tout the glories of meal prepping, right? When I thought about meal prepping before I got into it, I don’t know about you all, but I would get so overwhelmed and anxious! I would think “What do I even do first?” “I don’t have…
