jillian michael’s 30 day shred :: 20 minute workout dvd :: new year’s resolution idea
So basically this year is a bust. Yesterday I had McDonald’s for breakfast, cinnamon rolls for lunch, and pizza for dinner….and then pizza again for dinner tonight.

sugar bowl bakery :: simple ingredients for homemade taste
I have to admit, I’m not really one for a store bought treat. Every Sunday our church has tables of treats to snack on between our services. I skip the cookies and grab some cheese and crackers. Not because I don’t have a sweet tooth–I have a huge one! But because I’m kind of a…

THE best peanut butter + chocolate cookies made at least once a year, at christmas
I’d love to say that I’m in the kitchen every week trying out new recipes and creating memories with my little ladies. However, trying new things and the kitchen, to me, aren’t one in the same. I’m NOT one to venture out too often. I love creating and making, but 1/2 the time it doesn’t…
