Meal planning can always be a little tricky for me. I have been planning my weekly meals out much better, but there still comes a night here and there, where what I planned doesn’t sound good or just doesn’t work out like I thought it would. Freezer meals are something I’ve always loved to have as backups to…
A few years back I was desperately searching for a gentle face moisturizer for my sensitive skin when I discovered the benefits of coconut oil. It didn’t take long before I was hooked on coconut oil and its many uses. When the opportunity came up to try the products from Skinny & Co. I was…
I’ll be the first to admit that, while I love the fresh fruits and vegetables in summer, it’s also a season of indulgence–specifically frozen desserts, BBQ snacks and front porch drinks. I was feeling less than ideal and decided to do an overhaul of my nutrition by completing my first Whole30. For those of you…
While we’re still enjoying summery weather here in Michigan, our schedules have switched over to fall. School, travel and sports practices are filling up our days and evenings and we don’t always have a great chunk of time to attend to dinner. But I’m a firm believer in sitting down with our family whenever we…

I am one for variety, and I can’t stand when I have the…
You all know by now that I’m pretty vigilant when it comes to sum protection. My dad and grandma both had skin cancer and, since I spent my teenage summers lifeguarding, I might be headed the same direction. But I’m taking measures for my children that I hope they will thank me for later…
We have been fans of BlenderBottle and their patented BlenderBall for a few years now, so when I recently learned about all the new products they have I was excited to try them out. (If you’re not familiar, the BlenderBall is a wire whisk ball that mixes the contents of your BlenderBottle while you shake…
While you can’t put a price tag on the safety of your children’s health, it’s nice to know you can find budget friendly sunscreen to protect your baby’s skin. For anyone that is reading our blog for the first time, I talk a lot about skin cancer. I’ve had melanoma and basal cell skin cancer…
I’ve written before about the snack subscription Love With Food. I love it because they send a variety of snacks every month so I can try lots of options without buying full boxes of everything. Then I know just what to look for when I’m shopping. And now Love With Food has acquired Send Me…
I love a cold drink in the summer. In fact, I start every day with a smoothie, have an iced coffee every afternoon and usually finish off dinner with another cold treat. So I thought I’d share a few of those recipes with you. Even in the summer when so many amazing fruits and veggies…
I hope you are having a beautiful and safe holiday weekend as we celebrate the birthday of our great nation! Are you a tiny bit curious why you would have “the talk” with your kids this weekend? Kristen Bell is here to help us on this topic. Ok, that was one of the funniest videos…
