Everyone makes such a big deal about Valentine’s Day. I suppose it is the biggest holiday after Christmas, but there’s only so many red and pink hearts I can handle before I start questioning my sanity. So while everyone else is fretting about their relationship status and buying overpriced chocolate and teddy bears, I’m always …

School starts THIS WEEK. My daughter is headed to eighth grade, and I just don’t know how many more summers we have to snuggle up on the couch with each other. So, I planned one last hurrah, we were going to make Haycorn together, cozy up on the couch and throwdown on the new season …

Now I don’t know about you, but I’m a little tired of getting the same old heart-shaped box of chocolates every single year on Valentine’s Day. There’s only so many times you can open the box before the mystery of which chocolate contains the delicious peanut butter filling is lost because you know exactly which one …

After all the hand-crafted cards and macaroni hearts and special classy dinners, all you will have left is a strong desire for something salty to counteract the sudden influx of candy in your life.

Today is a bright new day! It is the start of a better, new, healthier me! Time to break out the MyFitnessPal app on my phone, and get this party started right. I’m going to track EVERYTHING I put in my mouth, and track everything I work off in exercise. Let’s do this thing!! What …
There’s a big ball game coming up. You know, the sportsball game where there are two teams. They run back and forth down a big marked field, and fight over an oblong ball. Sometimes they slap each other on the behind…I’ve seen it. I know what’s up. Yes, it’s an American thing. Don’t worry, I …
I had a couple of college roommates in my time. My first roommate had been a good friend of mine. I’d known her since elementary school although we really only became best friends in college. When I decided to move to north Texas I dragged her with me. We got an apartment together and it …
I have a confession to make: I had no idea what a smoothie bowl was until a few weeks ago. I mean, it seems pretty self-explanatory, right? But I just didn’t get the point of it. Why would you put a perfectly delicious, drinkable smoothie in a bowl when you can just put it in …
There are two types of people in the world: those who wake up every morning ready to face the day with nothing more than a sunny disposition and a strong force of will, and those who are still half asleep as they’re walking out the door and wish the world would stop turning for the …

I have a confession to make, y’all: I am not a baker. The thought of baking my own bread terrifies me. And yeast? Don’t even get me started on yeast. If it ever came down to a choice between battling a giant, ferocious dragon with spikes and claws and fire or making bread from scratch, I would gladly …
Rice Krispie treats were one of my favorite snacks as a kid, but since then I’ve sort of outgrown them. Why waste time getting marshmallow creme in unmentionable places when I could just gorge myself on Ben and Jerry’s instead? That said, I’m going to have to revise my opinion after trying these Lemon Meringue Rice …
Attention fans of the classic jalapeno popper: This recipe is not for you. No, this recipe is for all your friends and family who are really tired of burning their mouths off every time you decide to cook because everything you make is so hot and spicy that not even the dog will eat it …
If you have a kid with nut allergies, you know how hard it is to keep them safe. In fact, it’s kind of tempting to hover over them, epi pen in hand, and bat away any possible offenders before they put them in their mouths. School lunches are especially hard. That’s when you have to …
Sometimes as a parent, it’s easy to feel stretched thin. Everyone always wants something and at the very last minute you find out that you’re supposed to bring the snacks for movie day at preschool tomorrow. Ahhh. Not that I’ve been there. Really. *eye twitch* Well, folks, help is on the way! These Dino-Bites Snack …
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Wrigley Jr. Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. The hardest thing for me about the idea of losing weight is the idea of it being “tough” or “hard”. It totally doesn’t have to be–that’s why I’ve decided to Make Losing Weight Fun! …
