3 Steps to Jumpstart Your Wellness Routine
It has been very nice here the past few days… in the 80s and sunny–borderline hot for me, but there has been a nice breeze. I actually broke out the walking sandals and put away my sweatshirts. So excited for nice weather. And then I realized what is coming up, like NOW. Summer. Shorts. Swimsuits. Tank Tops. AGH!! With the terrible weather we had this past winter I spent way too much time inside, sitting on my butt, instead of outside walking and getting exercise. I definitely need to jumpstart my fitness routine! By taking a few small steps in the right direction, I can improve my health and hopefully drop a few pounds in the process. I know that I work better with a plan. So my first step was …
For the Love of Dogs – National Pet Month
May is National Pet Month – I really don’t need another reason to love my furry, four-legged friends (if you can’t tell, I’m kind of obsessed with my fur babies).

Mother’s Day at the Spa
My husband, God love him, is a wonderful partner, friend, and father, but he is the WORST gift-giver.

Birthdays have never been a big deal for us so maybe I’d get a card, but not much else. He’s never done anything for me for Mother’s Day (“I’m not HIS mother” but he could have HELPED the kids do something). This Christmas he didn’t do anything for me. Honestly, I think he has pretty much given up trying. He used to buy me perfume, …
Fresh from the Farmers Market: Jalapeño Popper Burger Bombs made with NC Beef from D’s Beef and Bees
If you have followed me for any length of time you know that I am NOT a morning person. I have to wake up at 5:45 am every weekday to make sure my 17 & 15 yos get ready for school. I go back to bed until 6:45 am when I wake up my middle schooler. Back to bed again and up at 7:20 am to wake up my youngest (if she isn’t already up).

I can’t tell you how nice it is to have all five of my girls able to make their own breakfast, entertain …
