I have really tired lately. For a few months now I’ve been struggling. I kept telling my husband that I felt frustrated about not being able to do all that I want to do because my body has just been lacking the energy. Even when training to run my 5K this Spring I felt sluggish. …
As I mentioned last week life has been a little crazy and getting back to routine and cooking this week has been so good. I’ve been in the mood for fresh salads and I came up with this recipe last week which will be on the menu this week too. A Cheater’s Oriental Chicken Salad …
So much has happened in the past few weeks that I’m not going to take the time to recap it all here right now. Life has been full and busy. My uncle passed away, we got a dog, and I drove myself and the boys to Virginia to spend some time with family. I’m still …
So maybe you want to start running and have even thought about running a 5K but you’re intimidated. I totally get it. I’ve been there. I hated running when I was younger. Hated it. I remember running in gym class and thinking about how much I wanted to reach 11th grade when there was no …
It’s 5 days until the Flap Jack and Jill 5K. Eeek! Thanks to the fantastic weather the past week I’ve been a little more excited about going out and running. I’m not really where I want to be as far as my training is concerned- I have yet to run all 3 miles straight without …
I’m a little late on this one… I fully intended to post an update on my training yesterday but I was busy doing some organizing and sometimes once I get focused on something it’s hard to pull away. I’ll be sharing details about getting my ducks in a row in the master bedroom tomorrow, but …
Good Monday afternoon! Nearly 2 weeks have passed since my last Healthy Mama post and honestly I haven’t been the healthiest of mamas during that time. I’ve had a hard time controlling myself when it comes to food so I’ve resorted to a tactic I’ve used in the past- food journaling and today I’m sharing …
Happiest of Fridays to you all! Lately I’ve been thinking about Easter outfits for the family and while I have the boys’ outfits figured out I don’t yet know what I’m wearing. The boys’ outfits are pretty simple this year: Cherokee Button Down Shirts | The Children’s Place Bow Ties (no longer available online) | …
Good Monday Morning! I know, it’s Monday, but it can still be good. Lately I’ve really been loving the say “Today is a good day to have a good day”. I just feel like for myself there are so many days where the day really is what I make of it and so that saying …
Happy almost St. Patrick’s Day! I was trying to think of a festive snack that I could make for the boys last week and when I saw a recipe for some waffle and fruit kabobs that was really cute I was inspired to make some rainbow fruit kabobs. So there really is not much of …
I had cinnamon rolls and orange soda for dinner last night. Not the healthiest dinner, I know. But at the time I was really stressed and it was purely a case of me eating my emotions. I know that to turn to food for comfort is bad, but yesterday had some stressful moments. While I …
Good Monday morning to you all! Now was your weekend? Mine was excellent and I hope yours was too. After spending most of the week convalescing from my dental implant surgery it was good to get out of the house and be a little more active. We also had a glorious dinner at Maggianos so …
