Who says you can only have tacos on Tuesdays? We love tacos, no matter what day of the week! When Ben and I started dating, our families both started having a weekly dinner night for us all to gather together and catch up. Once a month, Ben and I host our families for dinner! This week, we hosted a Taco Bout A Party! They say, “When you find true love hold it with both hands because tacos can be messy sometimes!” so to say my heart is full is an understatement. Keep reading for our favorite taco idea!
Read MoreAlthough it isn’t always easy, I do what I can to have healthy eating habits in our home. My son is such a picky eater, so it can be difficult to get him to eat foods that have a healthy twist. Normally he can smell out every vegetable I try to hide in his favorite foods - nothing gets by him! I have had to be reallyyy sneaky lately to hide nutrient-dense foods into his 5 food groups (you know - chicken nuggets, pizza, mac and cheese, yogurt, and dessert). This week, I managed to sneak something that may seem crazy into his chocolate… Tofu! Yes, you read that right!

I’ve even found a way to sneak extra veggies without Aimery knowing. 😉Any way to sneak more vegetables into your toddlers diet, am I right?! Here's the recipe 👇🏻

Read MoreIt’s my favorite time of year - Thanksgiving! Like I wrote about in this post, Thanksgiving is a huge holiday for my family and we love to celebrate together.

Read MoreI’m all for throwing together parties at the last minute! This past week, we had a last-minute Halloween pajama party. It was such an easy party to set up and the kids absolutely loved it! All the food was from items that I already had in my pantry. The best kinds of parties are those where no extra shopping is involved!
Read MoreIt’s that time of year again! I love celebrating the big game by throwing a homegate with my closest friends and family! And what would a game day be without basic football party food? Cheese plates, loaded baked potatoes, pulled pork, and of course - my favorite Honey Mustard BBQ Wings! Yum!
Read MoreBeing a working single mom, I don't have a lot of time to cook. It's very rare that you will find me making a dinner using more than one pot and six ingredients! I love one-pot meals because they allow me to spend less time in the kitchen cooking and doing dishes, and spend more time with Aimery. My favorite week night recipe to make is Lemon Chicken Piccata! Not only is it a one-pot meal with just six ingredients, but it also takes less then 30 minutes from prep to clean up. Plus, this recipe includes my favorite pasta, DaVinci Spaghetti!
Read MoreI have always wanted to try making my own ice cream at home, so I finally gave in and ordered this ice cream maker! I LOVE making my own ice cream - it's so easy to make and I get to try out as many flavors as I want! During the summer, Aimery and I have been loving lemonade ice cream... so today I wanted to share a recipe just for fun!
Read MoreAimery is starting preschool this year and I can not BELIEVE he's starting school already! I found an amazing preschool in the area that allows children at his age to start early, and I was lucky to grab the last spot for him this fall! Although I'm going to miss spending summer days with him, I really am looking forward to getting on a set routine of knowing when he's going to school so I can plan work accordingly. I also signed him up for soccer practice on Saturday mornings, so our life is about to get real busy!
Read MoreToday I'm sharing one of my favorite dinner recipes, just for fun! I LOVE finding easy recipes to make during the week that allow for simple ingredients, short cooking time, and easy clean up! Oh, and leftovers!

Scroll down for more photos and a link to the recipe!
Read MoreMaking time for my health and fitness as a single mom is difficult. It’s hard to find ways to incorporate fitness into my daily routine when I’m balancing taking care of Aimery and running my business! Like I wrote about in this post, I’ve found an easy way for me to work out from home – even with Aimery! Over this last year, I have been keeping up with my workouts from the BodyBoss Ultimate Fitness Guide, and the workouts have definitely kept me in shape. This past week I decided to take my health to the next level by starting my BodyBoss Superfood Nutrition Guide journey while continuing the Fitness Guide.
