This morning while the kids were sleeping and I was finally able to have some time to work I turned on my Spotify and the song “From the Ground Up” by Dan + Shay came on. And I got to thinking about the concept of that….building things from the ground up. It’s kind of like… Continue Reading
Country Heat Week 1
This week starts Week 1 of my journey with Country Heat! Well, actually last week was Week 1 but to be honest after a trip home to Illinois, bad eating and missed workouts I decided to start over this week. I am a bit upset with myself for not sticking to my plan like I… Continue Reading
Cajun Shrimp Alfredo Pasta
I LOVE seafood. Like I really love it. Every year when we go to Florida I eat it at least once a day since it’s actually fresh. The good thing about seafood is that it is also really healthy as long as you don’t deep fry it, lol. My struggle with seafood has always been… Continue Reading
