We have a dog named Mabel. If you live in our neighborhood, you know her. She’s the crazy puppy who constantly runs away and goes on to roam without any intention of listening to us as we chase, yell, and bribe her to come back home. Most of our neighbors are very gracious, and often help …
Over the past few years I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing mommas online. We share the beautiful messy aspects of our lives, keep it real, and share honest encouragement with one another to remind ourselves of life’s blessings despite the chaos. As much as I love this online community, I also love …
I grew up on a feedlot in northwest Iowa. My dad has been raising cattle since before I was born, and these days he and my brother Jason are tag teaming it, working hard every day to bring the world quality beef that (in my opinion) tastes better than anything on earth. Growing up, our meals consisted …
Jake and I have been dreaming about a trip out to wine country for years. Then I was pregnant for a good four years straight. No one wants to be preggo in Napa. So this year, we finally made it happen. We both turned 30, so it seemed like the perfect reason to get away. That, …
We were invited for a fun day at the new Crayola Experience at the Mall of America! We got there around 10:30am this morning, with some VERY excited kiddos. The Crayola Experience is a family attraction that has 25 hands on activities that involve color. My kids are 4, 3, 3, and almost 2, and I …
Last October, I almost lost my dad to a heart attack. Almost. He had a 1% chance to live and he survived. A second chance to live life to the fullest. Last week, a spot on my foot was diagnosed with melanoma. Thankfully, they caught it early, and it hadn’t gotten into my bloodstream yet. …
I consider myself a health conscious newbie. I’m a student, and am constantly learning new ways to incorporate healthy living into my family’s day to day life. With that said, I also completely believe in a balanced lifestyle. The 80/20 rule, if you will. 80% of the time, I do my best to make sure …
Hey guys! Happy Tuesday! I’ve always been a proponent of social media. I don’t think it’s the devil. I don’t think we should be scared of it, and I don’t think it’s going to turn us into horrible people. When used smartly, I see social media as a beautiful thing. It has the potential to add …
If you’ve followed me for a while now, you know that I started as a Beachbody Coach about a year ago. Honestly, I never thought I would EVER, and I mean EVER, join a “pyramid scheme.” Because that’s what we call them, right? Even when we don’t really even know what that means? I was way too …
We’re back from wine country, and settled back into normal life. I’ll be sharing a recap of our entire trip soon! In the meantime, I’m excited to celebrate Cinco De Mayo! Since becoming a mom, I’ve learned that celebrating holidays like this is a great way to break up the week and add a little …
