Ahh, summer. There’s nothing like it! I know for us, summer is packed with fun: campfires with s’mores, trips to the beach or zoo with Bryce, local farmer’s markets, outdoor concerts, sporting events, running outside/races, poolside fun and backyard get-togethers. Needless to say, we are in full-on summer mode and soaking up every minute (and I’ve got photographic evidence)! With all of the summer fun to be had, we have to remember to sneak in some healthy habits each day. Let’s be Read More
Build a Solid Smoothie with Green Blender {Review + Discount}
I don't know about you, but over the holidays I definitely indulged. Overindulged actually. All the delicious home cooking and baked goods...I couldn't get enough!

#RemixYourCoffee with New Folgers Flavors & a Giveaway!
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Folgers. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Growing up, a bowl of my beloved Golden Grahams or the smell of pancakes and syrup helped me take on the day, but as an adult (and mama), I definitely need something stronger. For me- that’s coffee. I wake up around 6 am Read More
Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Granola
I recently whipped up a batch of pumpkin spice chocolate granola. Sweet, spiced with fall flavors and super delicious! Perfect mixed in with yogurt for breakfast, or on its own for a snack. YUM! I picked up the chalkboard top jars from Target in their dollar section and gave these as gifts to neighbors, friends and family. The recipe fills 3 small jars and 2 regular mason jars, FYI.
