Last November I wrote about several items from Trader Joe’s that have really helped me to speed up and simplify cooking dinner on work nights. Blog readers and friends told me that they found my suggestions helpful, so I decided to write a...
disclaimer: I was paid to write this post, however I did purchase a large box of Space Girl Organics produce. The post is 100% true and my kids really DID get excited and I really DID feel like Mother of the...

Today I began the first day of a two-week pre-op eating plan to reduce the fatty deposits on my liver. “Eating” plan is a misnomer. It’s more like a not-eating plan. It feels to a person who is accustomed...
In the latter part of 2015, I was introduced to ALDI through a couple of my friends who frequent the Oviedo location on a regular basis. They raved about how much cheaper it was and all these great items they...

Scrolling through social media can sometimes make you feel that you need to completely stock your freezer with 3 months of healthy AND kid approved meals to be successful in meal planning with freezer meals. I’m here to tell...
It’s back-to-school time - that time of year for lots of great blog posts with suggestions for making healthy school lunches. Pictures accompanying these articles run the gamut from ultra-Pinteresty to simple suggestions for quick and healthy lunches. And...
