Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Today, I am going to share with you, my favorite way to make Nutrisystem Chili. I love eating my Chili over a plate of spaghetti squash. I start preparing this meal about an hour before I want to eat. I prefer to bake my spaghetti squash whole. I don't slice it or anything. Doing it this way, allows me to steam the insides...no need for added oils. I place the spaghetti Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem nation blogger. I am provided with a Nutrisystem plan in return for regular updates. All opinions are my own. I've shared before how the convenience of preparing Nutrisystem entrees is really nice. Most of the meals are ready in just a few minutes which makes it a great plan for busy people. This week Ryan mentioned to me how much he appreciates how most of the entrees have two cooking options. He explained that he likes having the convenience of preparing most meals Read more [...]

As a pet owner, I can emphatically say that we truly love our pets.  We actually live on a dairy farm so animals are quite important in our every day life.  My husband really enjoys milking and taking care of his cows.  This summer, the kids have big plans to add some bunnies and chickens to our family.  Of course, no farm would be complete without a gaggle of cats running around.  But for now, our main pets happen to be our dogs.  Growing up, I always wanted a little pup to grow up with me Read more [...]

Thank you to Handful for providing me with product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Going to the gym is something I'm still new at. Kyle and I just recently moved to North Carolina and have been going to the gym almost everyday. I've learned how to have good form, use all of the equipment, and how to do different workouts that help build muscle. It's a nice change - I love releasing all of my worries and anxieties by exercising. One thing that I wish I had more of is Read more [...]

Last week, we had some 60 degree weather that really made me realize Spring is truly around the corner.  Sure, it IS Minnesota so it's not too crazy to expect another snowstorm yet but we all caught the Spring fever bug that made the kids begging to wear shorts and sandals.  So as I started taking stock of what the kids had and what's been outgrown or worn out, I realized that several of us needed sandals.  So today, I'm excited to share Gold Pigeon Shoes with you! Sending a big thank you to Read more [...]

Thank you to T-fal for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. Did you know that tomorrow, February 28th, is National Pancake Day? With it being a school day, we likely won't have time to make pancakes before school. To make sure we are still able to celebrate National Pancake Day, we decided to make Krusteaz pancakes ahead of time and freeze them. Frozen Krusteaz pancakes are perfect for popping into the toaster, heating and eating on Read more [...]

My husband has been talking about getting into better shape lately.  Since he is a dairy farmer, he has a job that is demanding both physically and time wise so he would never have the opportunity to join a local gym.  There just aren't enough hours in the day!  Lately, we've been doing some high intensity short interval workouts as a family with 20 seconds on, 20 seconds off with a rotation between squats, high knees, air punches, jumping jacks, and the plank but he was looking for something Read more [...]
