Good evening! I apologize for getting this post up so late in the day! Today was one of those days when I definitely could tell I’m in the final weeks of pregnancy. After spending all morning at the doctor’s office, I came home and was totally wiped. I had lunch with my boys, took a …
Mommy Talk: Allison from AKA Gourmet
Good Morning! I’m excited to kick off Mommy Talk today! Mommy Talk is a space that I’m opening up on here for other mommies and women to share their experiences about how they make time to fill themselves up so they can be the best they can be for their families. If you are interested …
Numbering Our Days
A few weeks ago I mentioned that we were in the middle of a sermon series at church called “Losing Our Buts” which focuses on eliminating excuses in our lives so we can live life to the fullest.

The weeks are seeming to fly by lately, which is a bittersweet thing. As excited as I am to meet my little girls in just five and a half weeks (crazy!), I’m trying to not rush it along so that I can soak up all the one on one moments I have left with Baylen. …

After an indulgent day of peanut butter cookies and french silk pie, I’m ready to put the birthday treats behind me and am excited for Baylen to get up from his morning nap so we can make our way to the gym today. To continue with the Exercises for a Better Butt series, the move …
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookies
Every once in a while a cookie recipe comes along that’s over the top delicious. Last year when we were still living in Chicagoland my friend Leah made these Reese’s peanut butter cookies and brought them to playgroup. They’re pretty big and I remember grabbing half of one, trying to not indulge myself too much. …
10 Seconds

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! This momma is home a bit early from the party we were at to put my sweet babe to sleep. Bay is usually in bed by 7:30, so he was definitely to his breaking point by the time we got home around 9:00. Thankfully we were just down the street so …
