While reading the “O” magazine I read two quotes that really stuck with me. I have pondered them for a few days. See for yourself...

  1. Who hurt you so bad that you need to do the same to others?
  2. How does one learn to give unconditional love in a world that judges everything about you?


I’m currently doing an Advocare cleanse and have been really trying to take better care of myself. Eating right, exercising, feeding my spirituality too. I’ve come to realize my body has really changed and on the surface there are a few things I was at first disappointed to see. I have a waistline that I will forever be trying to make flat, wrinkles on the forehead and checks, and a chest that has never looked the same. However they are just that... things on the surface! I’ve come to realize something amazing! I have wrinkles because I smile so much and have so much joy in my life! I have a larger waistline because I grew two healthy babies in my tummy! And my chest well if you’re a mom you know.....

So beyond the surface I’m blessed beyond measure and have reminded myself true beauty and happiness lies within! I hope by reading my blog perhaps you've stopped and realized some of the many blessing you have the beauty you have within.


Peace, Love and Homeruns!

Prep+Pared from Kroger - Citrus Garlic Chicken Saute

The past month has included some tough moments for our family. My daughter has had three back to back ear infections. My son had a stomach virus and I've been a basket case worrying about them! Today in life we always seem busy although I'm also very firm on the belief that we make time for the things that are important in our lives. I'm sure we all have those people in our lives that always claim to be so busy but instead of getting continuously frustrated I've realized that apparently we  are not that important to them. Even with all these busy times with my own family including getting my kids well we have always made time for family and the important things. Some of my short cuts during the busy times are easy dinners. I have a few I always keep in my arsenal of grocery and pantry items. Kroger has now introduced an easy and quick option for dinner called Prep+Pared. I've received a ton of coupons in the mail for the mail order dinner subscriptions. I've l

Taco Salad.... Ole'

We eat our fair share of Tex Mex food! However, I always think it's funny when we go to other places (outside the Houston, TX area) and we end up eating at a Mexican restaurant and we are sadly disappointed because it tastes nothing like at home. Tex Mex is a very different from traditional Mexican.  Queso is a staple in this area of the US. Everyone knows what queso is. It is not that cheese substitute they serve at ball fields with chips. I have a friend who could survive alone on just queso (You know who you are)!  Also, I have found that everyone rates Tex Mex restaurants based on their favorite thing there. For example, my mother-in-law bases her judgement based solely on their margaritas. My Mom bases her judgment based on their green sauce. My friend mentioned above bases her judgement on... you guessed it, queso. Me.... I'm a chicken fajita girl! Once the fajitas come I feel like Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator holding my thumb out for approval. On the first bit it ei

Flat Iron Steak with Veggie Sauté

Another yummy meal created with the help of Kroger's Prep+Pared meals. This was my husbands favorite. I felt on top of my health game making and eating this meal. The great long term advantage of making these meals are that you get to keep the recipe card that lists the ingredients and the recipe instructions which allows you to easily recreate the meal. I'm most definitely keeping this recipe and plan to make again. My kids ate the steak and the veggies (carrots and cauliflower). For this recipe I added a bit more butter to what was called for and added in some minced garlic when tossing the veggies together. Last week was tough for me when I found out about the news in Santa Fe HS. This hit too close to home and has shaken me to my core. I'm so protective of my children and cannot imagine the pain those families and affected kids are feeling right now. I do not know the answer and I think we as a community have more questions that answers. We live in a scary world o
