    A while ago, in December, I said that I was back. I may have underestimated the busyness of the new year and getting settled back in. But this time I am for real! I hope to post around once a week, just to share what’s going on in my life. I’m trying to be more…

    Happy February! I can’t believe my little prince and fellow blogger will be 16 years old in just over a week. So much to write about, so little time. But what does his birthday have to do with this week’s menu plan, you might ask? Apparently everything. It is my constant joy to think of…

    Happy Tuesday?! I don’t know where the day went yesterday, but I know we had dinner and it was delicious. DJ did most of the preparation and all the dishes! It’s easier to get help with dinner when you have a plan 😉 I consider it a bonus homeschool class: life skills 101. Happy last…

    Sometimes I feel like Thanksgiving gets lost as Christmas and New Years threaten to take over the holiday season. But it’s a great time to thank God for his provisions, and, yeah, I enjoy the food. Every year my family and I make a traditional American Thanksgiving feast! I mean, we do it all, from…

    You’re on the bench with a PR (personal record) on the bar above you. Your palms are sweating. You grip the bar as tight as you can. You unrack the bar, heaving the weight above you. You bring the weight down to your chest but … you can’t lift it back up. Suddenly your favorite…

    I know a lot of you might not like the title of this post, but it is really true. I’m not saying you should be all-out grinning through your whole workout, but a certain sense of enjoyment leads to better workouts. I really enjoy the Incline Dumbbell Press, so I’m going to use heavy weights…

    It’s been a long week and it’s only Monday. The busier the week, the more reason to menu plan, in my opinion. We feel better when we eat better. And the potential to eat out when busy is high which is no bueno because 1) it’s not in the budget 2) it leads to waste…

    I love food. Which is why by far the hardest part of the fitness life for me is the diet. But sometimes it’s okay to eat some unhealthy stuff, right? Everything in moderation *wink* No, but in all seriousness it’s perfectly fine to have a cheat meal sometimes. Here are my favorite foods that don’t…

    Cardio is a big part of working out. It’s very good for your heart and is a great way to burn calories. But in my opinion … cardio isn’t fun. I mean some people like it, and if you’re one of those people then maybe you should stop reading … (jk, don’t do that, I…

    Well, we can’t believe our blog is a month old today. It’s been fun, but, unfortunately, it’s time to close this chapter. Thank you to all who have read, commented, or reached out to us to say you were inspired. I’m just kidding! My darling boy and I are just getting started and we can’t…
