Whole wheat bread recipe (clean eating)

August 18, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Nothing beats the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven. Am I right? I rarely make homemade bread, but since trying to eat healthier and running across a recipe for whole wheat bread in the crockpot (which I thought sounded intriguing), I decided to give it a try. The bread tasted good, but was…

Super easy breakfast cookies (clean eating)

August 11, 2014 | 2 Comments

I’ve been mentioning lately that my family is on the road to clean eating. Thanks to the internet and some amazing bloggers like Andrea from Howe We Live, my eyes have been opened to the dangers of eating highly processed foods with artificial ingredients and the benefits of those that are all natural. After lots…

source: RachaelRayShow.com I’ve been getting Rachael Ray EveryDay magazine for quite few years now and I’m pretty sure I will never cancel my subscription. I don’t have time to watch her show, but I can flip through a magazine and tear out a recipe that looks good in 5 minutes flat. She’s taught me how to…

15+ Cinco de Mayo recipes

May 2, 2014 | Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I am about as white as they come. I was raised on Midwestern food – meat and potatoes, and the only Mexican food my mom ever cooked/cooks is definitely “white” (sorry mom, but it’s true). As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how to make enchiladas, rice, beans, tacos, fajitas, empanadas and…

If you’ve read my blog, you know the frustrations I’ve dealt with when it comes to getting my 3 1/2 year old to eat. And if you’re a mom who’s ever had a 3 1/2 year old, I’m willing to bet you’ve dealt with the same issue.

20 Fall Recipes (soups, desserts & more)

September 30, 2013 | Leave a Comment

You guys, I am over the moon about the fact that fall is here. Like, weirdly excited.

I think it’s because now that we are in Colorado instead of California, I get to experience a true fall season. The temperature has already dipped, the nights are chilly and the leaves are starting to turn a golden yellow.

I go to bed dreaming of pumpkin patches and apple picking and often smell the faint hint of banana bread in my nostrils – see what I mean? Weird.

Low fat pizza burgers recipe

I am always on the lookout for a good burger recipe. I’ve been pretty hooked on adding veggie purees and other ingredients in my burgers since discovering Jessica Seinfeld’s “Deceptively Delicious” book.

Besides being healthy, burgers are also a quick, easy meal. And since I buy turkey meat in bulk at Costco, they are also super cost-effective.

Recipe: Oatmeal cookie dough balls

March 7, 2013 | Leave a Comment

oatmeal cookie dough balls recipe | themombot.com

What I’m about to share with you will change your life. Ok, that may be a bit dramatic. But my husband was putty in my hands after I made these for him, and that deserves a raving review in my book.

The idea for this recipe all began when I found and reviewed a pin for eggless cookie dough that was meant to be eaten raw. After testing it out, I thought it was amazing but it wasn’t working for me in its original form. See, I felt kind of disgusting sitting on the couch with a big bowl of cookie dough and a spoon… I wanted a way to make it a little more portion-control friendly, so I rolled it into balls and put it in the freezer (because the balls were really sticky). This was good, but by the time I finished eating the frozen dough ball, my fingers were covered with a sticky mess. How can I hide my gluttony from my 3-year-old when the evidence is all over my hands??

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽
