Free Printable Meal Tracker

On Monday I shared a free printable fitness tracker to help you achieve and stay on top of your fitness goals, but in my world, that goes hand in hand with how I fuel my body.  I am most certainly one of those people who justifies all sorts of crazy meals and treats to myself.  Like, "Well, I ran 5 miles today, so I can absolutely eat an entire pizza and then have a handful of cookies for dessert. … [Read more...]

Free Printable Fitness Tracker

Hey guys, how was your Christmas?  Mine was so great, and it was super to take a few days off, but now I am back and ready to ring in 2016.  Can you believe that the New Year (and all of its resolutions) are literally right around the corner?!  I'm sure that, like me, many of you are refocusing on your health goals this coming year and I hope that this free printable fitness tracker can help you … [Read more...]

White Hot Chocolate

This post was sponsored by Libbey as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review. Hot chocolate basically becomes a food group in my home during the colder months.  It is such a comforting, yummy treat that we fully take advantage of.  My kiddos get downright giddy when we roll up to Starbucks, ordering their own kid … [Read more...]

DIY Fur Wreath

When I painted my fireplace mantel a couple months ago, I changed the decor around a bit as well.  I went from having a large mirror as the focal point to using a pallet sign and an old window.  I love it, but it has been stressful for me at the same time. I feel the pressure to hang a wreath on the window. And not just any wreath, but one that I really love because I know that we will all … [Read more...]

How to Make Recycled Tire Shingles

Thanks to the partnership I have with Discount Tire on this post, I am sharing my recycled tire DIY project for holiday gift inspiration. Do you ever drive around town on garbage or recycle day and see things that people have set out on their curb and think to yourself, "Man, there is still a lot of life in that.  If only someone would paint it or repurpose it, it could be amazing." I do … [Read more...]

Sock Cupcake Gift Basket with Free Printable

Thanks to AMOPÉ PEDI PERFECT™ for allowing me the opportunity to try out their awesome product. All opinions are 100% my own. Both my husband and my son play hockey and we have learned first hand how hard it can be on their feet to be in their sweaty skates for hours on end each week. I was shocked to learn that my little guy, who is seven and therefore you expect would only have baby soft … [Read more...]

Kid’s Art Vase – Easy and Adorable DIY Gift

Kid's Art Vase Handmade gifts are almost always my favorites.  It doesn't matter who they are from or what they are, if it is made with love and from the heart I am going to adore it.  One of my favorite gifts to date was a fresh fir wreath that my grandma had made with trimmings from trees on their property in Montana.  We were living in New Mexico at the time, while my husband was going through … [Read more...]

Kissed by Honey Chocolate Cookies

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company.  The opinions and text are all mine. Holiday baking is one of my favorite pastimes.  I am one of those people who cannot have cookies in the house and not eat them, so I try to avoid them most of the year.  But come Christmas time, it is a free for all.  And it is amazing.  Not only do I get to eat all of my childhood … [Read more...]

DIY Crease Less Hair Ties

There are so many incredible ideas on Pinterest that I add to my boards, but know that I won't ever share them on the blog.  You know the ones...you've seen them a gazillion times by three million different bloggers and you almost just roll your eyes when you see another one pop up.  I often make those projects and recipes and just don't share them on the blog in the hopes of not being a copy … [Read more...]

Let’s Hold Hands Mug and Coffee Lover’s Gift Idea

Thanks to the J.M. Smucker Company for asking me to share my experiences with their products. All opinions are 100% my own. #DunkinToTheRescue It's that time of year again. The time that I start panicking not about what I am going to give my children for Christmas, but what homemade gift the kids are going to give to their grandparents. Ugh, the struggle is real, people. There are only so … [Read more...]

Mele Kalikimaka Champagne and Chocolate Pineapple with Free Printable

Like all of you, I assume, December is always an insane month for me.  Between parties and field trips, time off of school and family get togethers, this month can sometimes make me feel like I am losing focus on what is truly important.  So I try to get ahead of the chaos as much as possible and cross things off my list early so they aren't hanging over my head and keeping me from enjoying the … [Read more...]
